Open letter to Subreddit Mods, and hopefully a Civil Debate

Absolutely fight me on this. I want to have a civil debate with you.

I feel like punishing communities for having more relaxed rules is a little dictatorial, you think?
I agree, communities should keep NSFW away and have good moderation, but basic rules are a tad stupid in my opinion. I feel like the owners of these communities should be allowed to have whatever rules they'd like as long as it doesn't allow NSFW.

But please tell me why you believe community owners should be forced minimum requirements for rules.
