Oh, don't get all bent out of shape. @Tits_out_forTheBoys isn't wrong. Mods do have more privileges than regular users. That's an intrinsic part of the position. It also goes without saying that they also have more responsibilities than the average user.

Don't get so hyped up on mod hate that you lose your objectivity. I don't know if you all know this, but, believe it or not, content on Voat does need to be curated from time to time. It's usually not a problem on larger subs with broad categories, like v/funny, but on more niche subs mods are required to keep things on topic.

No one seems to bat an eye when v/FatPeopleHate bans users or deletes comments or submissions that are off topic to the sub. Hell, @NoMoreMrNiceGoy founded v/NoJewsAllowed specifically to arbitrarily ban Jews and Jewish sympathizers and Marxists no matter what sub they're posting in.

Remember that when a sub changes hands, people get hyper critical of "mod abuses." Then users, many of whom would never otherwise frequent the sub, flood in and start spamming the sub with bullshit. Some of it is over the top nonsense, and some of it is specifically designed to be ify and get deleted, thus causing outrage.

A lot of users are doing the equivalent of kicking a hornets nest and then acting incredulous when they get stung. And all along the hornets were just minding their own business.

Actually, no, it's more like they've found a hornets nest that's minding it's own business and they pick it up and throw it onto a conference table and say, "Get a load of these fuckers- they're stinging us. The nerve!"
