That's mismanagement that doesn't even see it's mismanagement.

A policy problem that affects a person in leadership affects everyone in the group. They should have communicated with the affected parties and it sounds like they left it to the moderator to sort everybody else out.

They chose... poorly.

Of course they did. That's the reddit business model.

A handful of people who mostly delegate work to slave labor (volunteer moderators) and only take action themselves to monitor and maintain the slaves.

Reddit employees have no purpose other than to crack the whip at moderators.

Volunteer moderators aren't slave labor. The essential evil of slavery is “involuntary” not “unpaid”.
