Oh my god. How can they even do that. I stand in awe, this is flawless. Please god, let the news get hold of this one.
It looks like they've done it through automod actions, so if you type a comment like "!lock" automod will lock the thread for you. Other things like downvoting a comment to below -8 results in the user in question receiving a temporary ban. Apparently they are hard at work on new commands to let all users run roughshod over the sub.
I'm sure the API helps.
Technically u/AutoModerator uses the API
Now this is a comment I can "Chef's Kiss" to.
