Moderation is required and is itself not the problem. The problem is the abuse of moderation to push an agenda. Free speech does not mean you are allowed to yell fire in a theater, or defraud someone. Not allowing spam does not make saidit "just like reddit". In fact that is a disingenuous argument designed to destroy saidit by flooding it with spam.

Since moderation is inevitable the only question is how best to do it. This is so far the best way I ever heard.

TheAmeliaManiac had a very specific set of limitations on the scope of his moderation. What he is proposing, while the site admin is away, is a gross overstepping of those limitations.
