View submission: Subreddit moderators are manipulating our front page: an analysis of irregularities in the remove-and-restore policy by moderators from 592 subs

I suppose they think they're doing a good thing by suppressing any positive news or positive comments regarding Donald Trump? In fact, I presume that most of the "mods" here would rather simply ban or otherwise censor any sub promoting a positive outlook of President Trump rather than provide any semblance of an open forum. Likely most of the SJWarriors would support such action. In other words, why are certain subs using bots? Because they think they are "in the right" and any contrary opinion is therefore "in the wrong" thus to be discounted from the main page.

That's not what this is used for, it's for temporarily removing popular posts to allow another post to make it to the front page, then restoring the first one. If a mod wanted to suppress a post, they'd just delete it before it became popular and never restore it.
