Lazy moderation. An auto-delete filter for major news keywords is a poor way to run a news subreddit. They're throwing the baby out with the bath water.

- dvcc 13y agoAutomoderator wiki was posted here: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/wiki/automoderator http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/wiki/automoderator. Honestly, it does not look too bad for what was being filtered out.
- baby 13y agoYou have no idea how hard it is to moderate a subreddit that is a default one. This is not "lazy" moderation. This is to avoid all the spam in /new
- sillysaurus3 13y agoDeleting all stories containing the word "Tesla" is lazy moderation. That policy was in place for at least some period of time.
- baby 13y agoI think that spending a day trying to moderate /r/technology would make a lot of people understand "why". Tesla got relevant suddenly with the apple news, then with the texas law, but then it was just spams to get the interest around Tesla going on. Technology moves quickly and I can see why moderators wanted the discussion not to focus on ONE thing for too long.
- sillysaurus3 13y agoI mean, you can sympathize with their bad behavior, but ultimately they were de-listed for it. Their bad behavior was a mistake.
- SSLy 13y agoThey were also unlisted for having (as you can see) too small moderation team. This is said to be fault of /u/maxwellhill and /u/anutensil. (They are one of the oldest mods -- they have whole power).
