I'll say this. If one person is the sole arbiter of what's acceptable and decides to use that power to settle scores it's not really a community.

It's one thing to remove/lock inflammatory posts, it's another thing entirely to say something entirely on topic and related to public interest and safety cannot be discussed.

The r/CambridgeMA subreddit is really odd. I've had perfectly bland posts held up for moderation for days, until I message the mods.

If it's just one mod, I get it, it's hard to make sure this doesn't turn into spam. But then why not add new mods, and/or leave most of the work to the automoderator?

Then he has less power to make arbitrary rules based on fake stories.
