Generally it's the users who do the purging and banning. If something isn't automatically filtered in the submissions bar, it usually has to be flagged by enough users to disappear. It creates this illusion of double-standards, but it's mostly just decided by popular choice. I think a lot of people here take certain discussions on good faith, but flag articles and discussion threads that turn toxic or violate guidelines.
