It's not just reddit, though - if you're going to start moderating, you have a meta-problem to address which is what to do about opinionated moderators.

- unethical_ban 5y agoAll mods are opinionated. They're either humans, or bots programmed by humans. I don't see why you're trying to deny humanity to moderators.
- ronsor 5y agoAll judges are opinionated. They're humans. I don't see why you're trying to deny humanity to judges. Read the above and reconsider if your argument makes sense. It stands to reason that if you have any position of "power," even if it's just "random internet moderator," you should at least try to be fair, consistent, and reasonable.
- raxxorrax 5y agoIt also puts the moderator under pressure. User will start ushering demands what you should ban. In worst case law enforcement too. I don't really understand why people waste so much time getting something removed instead of just reading something else, but there are whole communities that live for banning others by now. In a larger legal scope platforms are under heavy scrutiny by moral busybodies right now.
