With all due respect, no you all do not. You hired the "community manager" most responsible for Digg's failure for fuck's sake. The community does NOT mind being monetized. The internet DOES, however, hate censorship. And for the past few months, shadowbans, autobans, subredditbans, all sorts of bans have been skyrocketing! Do you know what the internet does to censorship? It interprets it as damage and reroutes around it.. This is why you guys are getting the backlash, and it won't stop until Reddit goes the way of Digg or until there's a major regime change here.
[Edit: and actually everyone else from the team who I thought might have "gotten it" has recently been fired since Ellen Pao took over.]
That's simply not true. The word "niggardly" has been in use since the 1500s. Centuries before the word "nigger".

>it could apply to not messing with the CSS of a subreddit using a post / comment
In other words, attempts at CSS or SQL injection
I just tested this using an EXIF scrubbing utility that I like (Exif Pilot) and removed EXIF only.

After: 22,700,124 bytes
69 KB trimmed.
Then I tested removing EXIF, IPTC, and XMP.

As a percent of the overall file, yeah, it's pretty insignificant or negligible. But as /u/Bardfinn points out, its aggregation millions and millions of times adds up to a significant amount of bandwidth.
Use Opengur instead of the official Imgur app.
It's open sourced, a lot faster and less bloat, and doesn't load those annoying imgur comments.
> We have a script that creates a bunch of fake submissions/comments,
Haha, glad to hear that you've automated what used to be a tedious manual process ;)
> imgur
No, the OP is right, you should use Google Drive or another site that permanently stores your files, imgur deletes them after 6 months of inactivity: https://imgur.com/faq#long
>How long do you keep the images?
>As long as images are getting at least 1 view every 6 months, they will stick around forever. After that, your image may be removed to create more space for newer images.
Wow! 20 MB PNGs is a lot.
That's good to hear.
I'm curious; will you be losslessly compressing the PNGs using something like OptiPNG to save file space? That'd be pretty rad.
Done! You can find it here: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/automoderator/full-documentation#wiki_non-searching_checks
Thanks, highshelfofsteam. I'll PM Rhygaar after checking with my fellow Mods. I just thought of the concept but want it to be a shared decision.
But in answer to your question, it would be an ISO image from the TAILS website, with probably 2 flavors (Win/OSX (Linux users probably have their own, or can DIY since they're a technically savvy bunch)). Universally available from a trusted source. Were I you, for the initial rollout, it might be reasonable to have this a requirement, or a blank one. Logistics can spiral quickly on this.
But the printed logo is key. Would that be possible, and would we have to worry about order sizes, minimums, returns, etc? If constraints exist, would a DIY option where we Mods do the assembly be an alternate?
For others reading, the reason I suggested open source software is that it avoids issues like copyright, sources, versions, etc. Much simpler. Maybe fan-created works from your readers & mods might work, but you might need releases. A bit more work but still doable.
But, even a blank flash drive might be a nice item, so don't feel constrained if software or digital content doesn't suit your readership's needs.
Yeah. It has ads, but it's $2 for premium in the store.
Here's the link if you want to check it out
Try the free version before you buy premium. And if you do buy it, buy it from the Play Store. Not in-app.
> There's no nofollow attribute added
Posts marked as spam (which is what happens to "remove"d links) absolutely <em>will</em> gain the <code>nofollow</code> attribute.
As I said in another comment above, /r/mod starts to get extremely slow when you moderate a lot of subreddits. It's trying to combine the listings from all the subreddits you moderate, so it just doesn't really work when you moderate as many subreddits as AutoModerator or other users like you do.
Readit UWP (Universal Windows Platform) for Windows Mobile 10, Windows 10, Xbox one, etc.
There's also an incredibly good one for the older Windows phone 8.1.
It's best on phone, but the unified version for windows is getting better.
Check out r/readit for more, or Readit https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9nblggh189c8
Or what you could do is notify subreddit mods if you do change UI elements, which would enable the option for them to enable "beta-mode" UI and fix their CSS, while still adding that crappy WYSIWYG editor ... don't digg yourselves a grave, reddit.
I posted this somewhere else: > Both Stylish and TamperMonkey is what will save Reddit if they decide to remove CSS styling. Leave your subreddit looking default unless someone installs your script! :D
/u/Deimorz linked me to the API whathaveyou with all the attributes and such that would be able to be used.
https://www.reddit.com/dev/api#POST_api_report
I could not find that shit anywhere, nor did anyone ever seem to know where it was or if it existed.
I haven't yet but I'd like to.
Main blocker for me is we'll need an account that mods will trust for making traffic stats public without also making mod logs public.
I plan to write something with d3 or such similar to what I did here:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/pZdYbV/?editors=0010
It will work for all the subs with publicmodlogs.
Then for everyone else; all that's needed is an AJAX proxy that stores a private feed key for a publictrafficstats account and does the request to the feed. If you're already setting up a server and don't mind making it public you could host that and run an account.
The account just needs to automatically accept mod invites.
tl;dr this will work like publicmodlogs but we will keep the feed key private and someone trustworthy has to control that and provide a service to make the API requests.
That make sense? If you're interested in hosting the account/proxy/frontend it will motivate me to write it.
I provided a simple Python script that will sync flair with a CSV file. You can use that, or look at the code to see how it uses the API. Unfortunately you'll need some technical prowess to extract what you have from your CSS and dump it into a CSV, but to run the script I think you only need Python 2.7.
Seconding this. Communities could use it for things like developing official apps and hosting meetups, as well as pay for things like CSS overhauls. It'd provide more incentive for community members to create items and patronize Redditmade campaigns.
Maybe a choose-your-split system like they use for Humble Bundle?
There are a lot of good ideas in this comment. I'll be keeping them in mind. Some of what you've suggested is similar to what I've been envisioning as a later step.
I'd love to give mods the option to define some rules, get out of the way, and just let users serve themselves. Technically, you don't have to wait for us to implement this. For example, /r/motorcycles currently uses a bot to help manage this. The flair API should help make it fully automatic. This sort of third-party approach could be used to implement some of your ideas, if we don't get to it first. :P
That was sarcasm. I never thought you had the power to do that.
Although, I do believe you should roll it back to the initial set up where an individual is possible to designate for a wide variety of reasons.
As mikecome32 pointed out - maybe following the Humble Bundle as a proven template might make more sense:
I'm concerned about well-meaning people posting a response, reviewing it, then making reasonable edits that make it better conform to that Sub's rules & norms.
I know for me, and our sub, we'll only be judging posts on what our readers feel is their last draft. I hope other mods will do the same.
With great power, great responsibility, fellow mods! :)
Not to sure if it's been suggested, but don't login on shared connections until HTTP's is here...
Heard of cookie cadger? It allows you to capture sessions from other users on the same network...
To make the wiki easier to edit, it would be nice to have content in the same row (TR) that is in different cells (TD) be on different lines. It gets confusing and hard to read when it's all one big line. Which is not good when you want to get volunteers to go in and add data.
Here's my idea for it, ignore the CSS parts, it's just there to make it a little easier to understand what's going on. The top box is the markdown, the table below is what it would create.
I'm interested in other's thoughts or ideas on it.
What /u/GaryARefuge said, I agree with you both. That's why I have an account on Tildes. It was created by a previous reddit admin and is supported by donations. Let me know if you want an invite.
Making community creation is great and all. However, opening the floodgates before there are even proper tools to help maintain the community fully seems like a misstep.
At this point, it might be best to make an completely new app specifically just for moderating and maintaining your communities. Akin to the YouTube Studio app.
I like how subreddits began as a way to remove politics, and now politics are being encouraged across all subreddits.
From We Are The Nerds,
> Politics followed NSFW as the second significant and enduring subreddit ever created—simply because Huffman was sick of wading through political posts on the Reddit homepage. This segregating of content was a matter of personal taste: He’d always disliked reading political coverage, and the glut of it on Reddit was getting to him. To ensure users complied with posting all political links to the politics section, Huffman logged on as any username other than his main one, spez, and berated posters for not using r/politics for political content. It worked like a charm, effectively quarantining politics. At this point, and for roughly the next year, there were three subreddits linked to in a box on the right-hand rail of the site: popular, politics, and programming. NSFW would have to be discovered by users on its own; there was initially no linking to it from the homepage.
