The problem is that Reddit Admins have glommed onto IAmA as a celebrity vehicle, including providing Reddit resources (e.g. helpers for celebrities) to strongly blur the line between independent moderators and official actions. The admins are trying to have their cake and eat it too ("hey... this is official Celebrity Admin-sanctioned reddit... but if there's a problem, nothing we can do, it's not us, it's the mods").
