Default subs: Decisions made by the goats of voat, moderators are there to enforce such decisions.
User-created subs: Mods/owners can do as they please, it's their sub. If you don't like it, start your own. The only exception being if a user-created sub is breaking the few site rules (e.g. no CP).
Mods should NEVER "own" a sub. IDGAF if you squatted on it first, it doesn't give you the right to censor stuff because of feelings. HOWEVER. All SUBMISSIONS should be on-topic to the sub. On-topic means: "relevant to the subject under discussion." So if it's a cooking forum, and you make a post shitting on cooking. That should stay and be handled by the users voting power. If you are in a cooking sub and make a post about video games, that should be subject for removal as it is not relevant to the subject of the sub. All comments that are legal or non-spam should be allowed.
I don't know why people think the first one to request a sub should be allowed to do whatever they want regardless of the community. That's how squatters work, they grab a popular sub name, go back to reddit, then when it get's popular here, they come back to control the narrative. Look at titsoutfortheboys or many of the other reddit mods that spend little time here.

I disagree with this characterization. Even if a majority of the users call for it, I hope puttitout will not allow the censoring of system subverses any more than is required by law.
But, ultimately, the users do get to decide for system subs. I'm not saying the users get to circumvent the admins, but the admins have always sought after the input of the users on such matters pertaining to system subs.
