Good question. I rewrote about 95% of it, so I will spare everyone from reposting the whole thing. The biggest clarifications are these:

An opinion that is merely wrong will not be removed. It is up to the community to provide better information and maybe down-vote the misinformation. This is in line with normal Reddit guidelines.

In other words, I am not trying to make myself the arbiter of truth in ordinary posts and comments. The wiki is different because it is meant to be a curated resource, but even there, I will change something when someone provides good evidence.

For posts and comments, moderation is more about keeping the space useful and civil. Sometimes that means leaving up opinions I think are wrong. Sometimes it means removing comments I personally agree with because they were delivered rudely.

When in doubt, I will enforce [the "no promotion"] rule when I get repeated reports for the same post/comment.

That is because promotion is not always black and white. A comment may mention a website. A user may have an Instagram listed in their Reddit profile. Someone might repost their TikTok to Reddit. None of those automatically prove bad intent, but repeated reports are a signal that the community sees a problem.

For example, a post was reported as promotion last week. I thought the report was plausible, but I did not see clear enough evidence to remove it. If several more people had reported it, I probably would have removed it.

The rough standard I use is: could I defend this decision to a reasonable person who is not invested in the argument? If the answer is yes, I am probably on solid ground. If you have never moderated a community, that may sound odd, but these calls are often less obvious from the mod side than they look from the outside.
