There should be generally very little moderation site-wide.

Heavy moderation is ok as long as it's sub-specific and there are very few site-wide 'community guidelines'

If you start your own sub and you're clear on how you're going to run it, then you should pretty much be able to do whatever you want. Generally I prefer a minimum of moderation, but if hypothetically, you were to start a sub requiring citations for every claim made, and requiring neutral language as apposed to inflammatory or misleading language; I wouldn't mind heavy moderation there if the rules weren't abused by the moderators. I don't have to like or agree with what you're doing on your own though.

In an established sub, you should be serving the community gathered there. I don't want to see any moderators taking over subs and throwing their weight around, trying to force their vision of how it should be on everyone else who contributed to it.
