I wouldn't trust most/any labellers or lists to not revert to mean (personal beefs and Lowtax-brain). If I did trust them, I'd tell them to quit because moderating well as a volunteer takes a lot of time and makes a lot of enemies and no durable allies. You slip up once, and you're the scapegoat.

You cant farm out moderation to volunteers who you will not pay, and refuse to back up. There is zero incentive to moderate properly. You will get ideolouges, grifters and insane people (some complementary, most derogatory)

If you do a good job, you get rewarded with more work, complaints, and being used as a weapon by others. The only way to build a support base is to moderate from an open bias, to enable some group. Then you're audience captured, and it's only a matter of time before you're backstabbed.

To moderate well, you have to sit apart from the discourse to tend the cold fires of lawful neutral. You have to accept that you are alone. You need the backing to be resilient and not buckle under pressure. It's not going to happen for free, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
