Subreddit moderators are not reddit administrators. Reddit admins are employees (or perhaps contractors) of reddit and are the only ones that can issue site-wide bans or remove content ("[Removed By Reddit]").
But like moderators, they're inconsistent as hell as to how and what they remove or who they ban.
All around, reddit has become a trash factory. Not only running of the site, but the content. Extreme attention seeking users ("AIO", "AITAH", etc), or simply bots (pick any cat-related sub, all reposts, all bots).
Even some technical subs are full of blind fanboy-ism and ignorance. It's simply painful. Unfortunately it's still a good place to get US and local news, /r/aviation often being one of the first subs to report on incidents, like the DIA AA fire, with photos/videos from the sub's own users.
- duxup 2y agoI know the moderator difference, I'm talking asking about admins. The admin approach to policies have always seemed very individual to the admin with wildly different responses.
- p_ing 2y agoI agree from what I've observed. You can have topic X posted which gets removed, only for someone else in the same sub to defiantly post about topic X with a "reddit removed this!" and it will stay up.
