    As soon as the threat was made all the mods should have quit. An unmoderated reddit would collapse in hours. It would have been glorious.

      This is true. I suspect for many mods the power they have to push their ideas, ideals and beliefs and punish who they see fit more than makes up or the fact that they do it for free.
