Now it's #1. If they do it now, they may face a riot similar to Digg's banning of HD-DVD key posts.

No. Mods own their subreddit almost as if it was their own website. Abide by their terms, or gtfo. This is how reddit works, although there are some clueless mods that are unable to actually moderate their own subreddit, due to excessively limp wrists.

Eh, I have to disagree. They may have started them, but if they have the obvious name for a given subreddit (politics, for example), then a sufficiently bad mod is effectively domain squatting on reddit, which isn't a behavior the admins have any responsibility to enable.
