It's technically against the Reddiquette:

  Please Don't

  ...

  Take moderation positions in a community where your profession, employment, or biases 
  could pose a direct conflict of interest to the neutral and user driven nature of reddit.

Something to add though, it's informal.

> Reddiquette is an informal expression of the values of many redditors, as written by redditors themselve

But I guess it makes sense for Reddit to move away from that rule. That's how you get big campaigns with companies like Adobe. Not by taking away their sub-reddits.

Personally I think I even prefer that though. Better than having heavily biased "community moderators", which is the case in way too many sub-reddits.
