Can we make moderation optional? Can we have multiple moderation options?

This is an interesting idea, but with the way Saidit works, with open modlogs and the ability to report moderators who violate site rules, I don't really think it's necessary.

It's 100% necessary. Who decides why is a post censored? Why as a reader can't I make that decision? How will the limited admins cope with reddit scale 80 posts a second? The moderator logs do not show the comments content that was deleted, so how can I trust the moderators actions?

Just like you have free speech, you should have freedom to hear and read. Forced censorship is like book burning. Optional censorship is like have different book stores. Completely different.
