I'm a ten year user of reddit and I've found it to be getting worse faster. There are always changes but lately it's been changes coming rapidly that do nothing but threaten users. Locking of posts I think is a terrible idea it censors and stifles debate. If something gets out of hand it's the job of Moderators to handle it, if it really gets out of hand Admins should step in. It was great in the old days when you could post something without ready 20 or more rules and still get denied. It's almost getting to be like the old Slashdot. Aggressive users seem to have taken over. Well-known subreddits spread hate with no policing.
