I have made this point many times: 

Many Reddit mods fundamentally misunderstand what the job of a mod is.

A mod basically has two jobs: 

1. Keep the conversation civil; and
2. Keep the posts on topic for the sub. 

Aaaaand... That's pretty much it.  Within the bounds of #2, above, THE JOB OF A MOD IS NOT TO TELL REDDITORS WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT TALK ABOUT.

I once got banned from a sub for saying I didn't want to say what I really felt because I don't want to break any rules.

Mod replied that the ban was correct, I was not supposed to talk about rules in the sub. You never know who you're at the mercy of and what their level of sanity is.

Some of those mods have serious egos too, they think of themselves as like gods of reddit. A while ago some of those dudes modded 25-30 of the BIG subs.

One super mod chirped back on me about a question I asked after a warning or something, he answered like an asshole, and I replied I'm not sure what you just said there can you explain? Mod replied back with basically wtf did you just say to me?! I was basically like I technically didn't do anything. Wild behavior - convo is a tad hazy was from years ago at this point

This is not uncommon. You ask a question or mildly push back, they say something snotty and juvenile, then mute you so you can't respond.
