Which makes them that much more apoplectic when Reddit walks in and takes their communities/powers away with no recourse.

I wonder how much annual salary they lost when Reddit takes their subreddit away.

the term "moderator" clearly suggests that they are there to moderate the conversation. otherwise they would be called "leaders."
