Enforcing rules isn't hiding opinions, it's enforcing rules, and the only way online communities can work is if there are rules regarding what someone can say and what someone can't. That's just the reality of the situation.
Whether mods get paid enough to do it is irrelevant. They chose to be mods so it's their responsibility to actually moderate. If they don't want to, someone else should be given the chance to do it.
