None of these online communities would exist without them. They do a lot of work for free so that we can enjoy them.

It's easy as a user to say they are being heavy handed or whatever but without them it would be nothing but spam and ads. If they have to do things that seem unreasonable to make their jobs easier I don't have a problem with it.

That said they are obviously just humans and some of them suck. This usually sorts itself out by either a community dieing or them being kicked off.
