I gotta think that this is because reddit admins don't seem to present a united front to users or mods and they can't figure out how to fix it.

It seems like there is serious dissension among admins regarding fundamental ethical issues and how to handle things like celeb nude leaks and they think getting everyone in a room together will help.

The admins are a complete joke on the site and empower sub-cults of reddit to flagrantly break the rules (SRS, anyone?) on a regular basis. I doubt putting them all in the same room will fix anything, except to maybe terminate the bad ones.

They have random DB admins "running" the community however they feel at that moment and according to how much bad press they are getting.

If it were me, like game companies hiring economists, I would hire an ethicist and an ombudsman.

Absolutely.

My smallish company even has an ombudsman on retainer, and we deal in physical goods. It exists for customer-company disputes and internal affairs issues. We've never used it, but it's totally ridiculous not to call up the local premier law firm and just get one on retainer. Very common service.
