    Wow, they really are dumb. Do they really think that it's just about the mods banning trolls? They foster community, sometimes they're the only ones posting content, and they try and negotiate with the users to calm them down. This would probably work in the large communities if you trusted that Reddit or the company they hired, wouldn't insert their own biases. I don't trust them.

      Reddit isn't one to let understanding their own site get in the way of money making opportunities.

        Based on…basically all of their actions ever…I don’t think they actually understand their own site at all.

      This. So much this. I’d say that, if more than 20% of your moderative actions are removing content and/or banning users, you’re either power-tripping or fucking lazy. Because most of the time you should be doing the things that you mentioned - talking with the users, posting and commenting, so goes on.
