Yes, I know, new account. Modding a controversial subreddit means some extra anonymity is in order. Rest assured I've been here a while.

I'll be pitching in to help sort through some of the chaff so that the good stuff can shine through. As we become a larger and larger community, our moderation needs change, and with close to 50,000 readers, it's no longer really enough to simply ban egregious trolls and call it a day.

We've spun off a bunch of smaller subreddits for the sorts of relevant content that tends to pile up quickly, please use them. We also may have to pull low-quality or low-effort submissions.

I see the purpose of moderation as being not to enforce a particular point of view (although trolls and non-contributing haters will be shown the door at high velocity), but to enforce a particular standard of quality and productive discussion.

As always, your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
