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.
