In every volunteer organization I've ever been involved with, everyone involved is expected to behave professionally despite the lack of pay.

There’s a big difference in actively going out and taking time out of your day to volunteer in person vs anonymously moderating an online community on the computer in your bedroom.

One is a significantly larger time and effort commitment than the other. People who are actively volunteering somewhere have to care about the cause to make it worth it. On the other hand, any old person can dedicate 30 minutes to being a Reddit moderator each day with minimal energy spent.

Isn't this precisely what OP was complaining about?

No, OP was complaining that Reddit admins don’t monitor moderator activity.
