How do you tell a willing user with the intention to keep a sub running as is, and a willing user who just wants to burn it all down, turn it into their own fie

How do you tell a willing user with the intention to keep a sub running as is, and a willing user who just wants to burn it all down, turn it into their own fiefdom, or worse? What's the ratio of the former to the latter, and does Reddit have the manpower to tell to the difference on a time frame that keeps the subs alive? What's the impact of a bunch of people who know how the sausage is made being essentially coup'ed by Reddit? Are they going to shrug and move on? Swear eternal vengeance?

> a willing user with the intention to keep a sub running as is, I think it's probably worth splitting this category into two, with one of them being the kind of user who would like to help keep a sub running, but has no idea of what's actually involved or how much time it takes or what a grind it is, and just isn't a good fit for the work involved.

This one is me: I'd love to be a mod in a large community, so I can ban the best contributors randomly and then get them permabanned for questioning me, all so I can destroy the whole thing from within. If Reddit doesn't like the way I moderate, then maybe they should hire employees to be moderators, and set up management staff to oversee them. Of course, that's going to cost a lot of money...
