Sounds like the real problem is that those questions were drowning out all other content. Personally I don't object to moderators setting rules that reduce noise. Or, to put it another way, moderating.

They weren't though. The bad questions stayed buried in new with 0 votes. Removing questions literally only affected people who browsed new and most people don't browse new.

Reddit has tools to hide posts you personally don't want to see without affecting the entire subreddit with silly rules. If you browse new you should be aware of these things.
