Have to wonder if the people running reddit look as stupid as they act online.

Reddit: Reddit is supposed to be a democratic site.

Also Reddit: No not like that!

Screenshot of the message they recieved from the mod code of conduct account (that admins are using to send these threats and etc anonymously) stating that polls will never be a proper way to gauge the will of the community.

Please note that there is no mention or suggestion of any alternative way to guage the will of the community. Reddit doesn’t want solutions. They are scrambling to come up with the most thin justifications they can find to protect their interests as a business.
