This. There will always be people attracted to power, even power as ultimately meaningless as being a reddit mod. Spez will enlist a new squad of wanna-be petty tyrants.

They could easily do that by:

  1. Threatening to site-wide ban moderators who keep their subreddits dark (on the basis that they're disrupting the regular function of the website.)
  2. Actually banning them if they follow through on another blackout.
  3. Doing a bit of overtime to moderate /r/redditrequest, on the condition that people don't request subs that already have more than two million subscribers.
