Absolutely not, let the users downvote the post to hide it. Otherwise it's all grey area. This is exactly the type of garbage ruining reddit. A poser thinks something is on topic, but a mod removes it because in his wisdom it's not. Let the users decide that's what they're given upvotes and downvotes for!!!!
If Voat is better off without any moderation, why even bother having moderators then? Where do you draw the line as far as when it's okay to use moderator powers to improve a subverse, instead of just letting the majority opinion rule?

Because someone has to stand up to the reddit powerusers and that is the moderators job. Foster freedom. Not act as dictators.
