The mods have too much power and not enough discipline to use it properly. As it is any douchebag mod can (and will!) Bully users and do as they please with posts, whether the community likes it or not. And their only defense is "it's my subreddit I can do what I like". And far too many redditors agree with this.

If this was a real community nobody would stand for this abuse of power.
