Yes, and that's why the "good" mods have power (against Reddit), because they know not to abuse that modding power.

Bad mods will destroy the spirit of a community in months if not weeks, tanking their utility and usage. Reddit knows that (or did know that at some point).

That's not true. Mods abuse power all the time and admins don't give a crap. The good mods are good mods because they're not petty dicks.
