> It's an average of less than 1 per day in a very busy subreddit. That is an impossible standard to meet. On the contrary, I'm a former moderator of r/science which had an order of magnitude more traffic and am unaware of an admin ever having to step in during my many months tenure. The justification also ran much deeper than the fact that they had to step in at all, and discussed the fact that the community moderators took actions which actively prevented the community from policing itself. Downvote buttons being hidden and renaming the report button increase the probability of these posts staying up and visible for longer periods of time.
