The fundamental problem with the admins' behavior on Reddit is it is inconsistent, opaque, and quixotically-driven. And considering the impact their behavior has on discourse, it makes the whole structure completely unpredictable and untrustworthy. But it's not like this shit is new. There has never been a time when the admins weren't completely arbitrary. Nowadays, though, they're being arbitrary to a crowd whose median age is 16 so the response is understandably juvenile.
