Does allowing users to moderate mean the moderation team of the website will not also be moderating those posts? If so, that seems to have two implications: one, this eases the workload of the moderation team; two, this puts a lot more responsibility on the shoulders of those contributors.
Ah, sorry, looks like I forgot to mention that in the post above. There is a checkbox you can check on your profile that says “I’m happy for LW site moderators to help enforce my policy”, which then makes it so that the sitewide moderators will try to help with your moderation.
We will also continue enforcing the frontpage guidelines on all frontpage posts, in addition to whatever guidelines the author has set up.
I would like to state plainly that I am in favor of measures taken to mitigate the workload of the moderation team: I would greatly prefer shouldering some of the burden myself and dealing with known-to-be-different moderation policies from some contributors in exchange for consistent, quality moderation of the rest of the website.

No worries, thank you for the clarification.
