I posted a slightly longer comment about this downthread but unlike other websites like twitter, reddit relies on users to be moderators. This is the one site that can't afford to lose their power users, you can replace them with scabs but the scabs probably don't know how to moderate a community that large and if enough big community mods quit reddit will never catch up. This is one of the only sites right now where the power users being happy actually does matter more than the average user, because they're essentially staffing the site for free.
