F7inseat linked to the Monsanto emails. I'm reading over them now - once I do, I'll make a judgement on whether or not Monsanto deliberately covered up any evidence for Roundup being carcinogenic. But besides all of that, I don't see how calling for a source is "corporation defending."

As for how I've acted as a moderator on other forums, you have this statement from /u/josefStallman. And here is the public moderation log for /f/AskRaddle - you can see that the only action I've taken since the mod logs were implemented was banning an islamophobe from the forum for making this post.. I don't specifically remember if I removed any threads before the mod logs were implemented. There was a post on /f/meta or /f/lobby asking not to completely delete posts made by reactionaries, because that would delete the good comments on them as well. I haven't removed any threads since that post.

What would you do if someone posted a link in f/science that was negative towards Pesticides/GMOs/etc?

Same thing I would do with anything else - leave it up if it has solid evidence backing it up. If I don't have time to review the source material, I would leave it up, unless it comes from an untrustworthy source. If it's known pseudoscience that has been thoroughly debunked, like flat earth or cold fusion nonsense, I would take it down, as I hope any good moderator of a science forum would.
