They used their privileged information. Privilege is a kind of power, and in this case they acted in ways they could only do if they were in those privileged positions. I have a feeling you are correct in some ways (depending on which sub you were a mod of, r/the_donald was a very different crowd with different mod practices than something like r/pics) but a lot of the complaints also come from disagreements about particular interpretations of the rules and lack of recourse to an adjudicator with higher authority. I'm sure there are plenty of petty mod actions, especially on Reddit when posting in one sub can automatically get you banned in another if a mod checks your history. Reddit is a special rodeo that I spent way longer than 8 seconds on. Positives came out of my time there but my, my was it too much time overall lol
