Yeah another kind of a*hole who I've encountered on Reddit were the ones who would keep mouthing off to you (carefully keeping within 'letter of the rules' of moderation), trying to goad you into snapping at them, and they'd insta-report and ban you.
Though for this scheme to work, it required Reddit mods to be... Reddit mods(can't come up with a better insult), at which point the whole thing seems so pointless - why have this elaborate song and dance with rules you pretend to follow, when you can and will ban anyone who rubs you the wrong way. Just announce that the rules are whatever the mods feel like that day, and stop pretending.
