The weird notion that unpaid volunteers are some pure force for good is falsely perpetuated by internet greybeards who only say it because they themselves were those people that is an interesting argument, but i don't understand how it is relevant here. as far as i can tell the moderators were acting with good intentions as a force for good as it were. if anything the problem was not that but that the company seemed to think that they can dictate what volunteers do. but really, they can't. reddit is doing the same, and if they don't listen to the volunteers they will eventually pay the price.
