In his letter of welcome, "root" states that the forum team would remove illegal content, etc. in a way that is not comprehensible to participants ( http://discuss.i2p/viewtopic.php?t=2 ). In my opinion, this is more in line with the traditional understanding of a hierarchy, as we know it from some socialist and totalitarian systems: people must never be sure of themselves, they have to bow to the leaders, after all they know better and only want their best.
