ban happy mods

Yeah, like Board_Gaming, who was perfectly content to run r/Braincels with a very light touch until the actual Reddit employees decided to ban it. Supposedly she was some chubby old black chick, too. She wasn't outraged enough to suit the Reddit supermod nose-pickers, I guess.

It's impossible to maintain large online forums without this sort of thing creeping in I think. Eventually they get so big you either have to restrict users to prevent spam and legit disruptive trolling, or you just let it kill the space until eventually people get fed up with it to the point they allow in a bunch of power hungry mods who will eventually take over and make it their own personal walled garden anyway.
