I mod an /r/ with 140,000 subs - and it's been a tough thing to keep the community happy and in agreement, neither of which I feel our community currently is.

The difficult thing is that everyone has a different opinion of what makes the community and how it should act.

We need to keep a high-level framework of rules and enforce those rules, but for the most part let the community members hash it out.

I try to take a more hands off approach to modding simply because with our user base you're damned if you do, damned if you don't - and I don't want to censor any content per se...
