The way the moderation system works is the following:

Any user may report content as 1) trash content or 2) offensive content.

A report immediately triggers a task that packages the reported question on a poll asking if the content is in fact what it has been tagged as.

The poll is presented to other users in the platform to validate if the content is or not what it was tagged as.

If it is, then the content is censored and the user faces consequences in his score up to eventually being banned.

It is ok to give your point of view even if someone does not agree with it. That is not trash nor an offense.

The purpose is to be able to be completely open and candid without being offensive.

And do you seriously think users won't abuse this to get people or viewpoints banned that they don't agree with? Remember, the downvote button in reddit was originally meant for downvoting unconstructive comments....

The "being open without being offensive" heavily depends on the eye of the beholder, and without consistent standards, there will be many arbitrary bans.

The key here is that reports go through a group of unrelated people who vet the claim. It is not one person that bans another. Plus, if a user reports something that is not true they bare a cost for that wrongful claim. Because peoples answers cost...
