It is incredibly naive and foolish to suggest that no mods is a good idea. That's how you get 4chan,or worse, 8chan, and if places like that are your goal, then you have no business making suggestions for anything.

4chan has lots of mods, called "janitors". You may not agree with the list of rules of every board, but saying 4chan is unmoderated is wrong.

8chan doesn't even exist anymore.

So you have no idea of what you're talking about, which means you have no business making suggestions for anything.

That's unnecessarily aggressive. I agree with the poster's point, which is that no (or very minimal) moderation gives you results that are very undesirable for most communities.

I copypasted what he said to me.

I liked the old /. system where everyone could be a moderator occasionally, but you couldn't go haywire because you were limited in how many mod actions you could take within a given time window. It wasn't perfect, but it was a nice take on the moderation problem.
