Reddit at large is extremely hostile to Wikileaks post election. Another staffer did an AMA a couple months ago and the tone from people asking questions was the same.

Yes in the sense of there being industry trends you should keep up with and talk about. One thing with b2b sites is that you don't really need viral content, because you likely have a very specific idea of who your customers are. Depen

While I generally agree with your point, you also probably know what guns James Bond, Al Pacino in Scarface, Dirty Harry, and De Niro in Taxi Driver all shot.

I can't find any retired players, maybe you can. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, etc. Pretty sure it's just this year for results.

I like the idea, but I'm having some trouble with it. Search results are only from this season, right? A search for Steve Nash showed a Steph Currey highlight as result one for me. More slang oriented searches like "dunked on&quot

So every sub is vote manipulating by nature of being a group that votes together on specific posts? I see. Don't break the site from the sidebar would have been a better option.

Stickying a new post so users see / vote on it faster is vote manipulation? Doesn't seem to be the case per reddit itself. [1] 1. https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205192985

You can stop being dishonest anytime now. You have a limited perspective. They had to make several internal rule changes specific to them (which they enforce) before any site wide changes happened. They get brigaded and attacked just like a

Yes, and that's why they make rules that only impact the_donald, which in turn encourages the_donald to lash out. Because they are being singled out for censorship. I think you've got a pretty selective memory of sticked threads i

So not using a tool in the way that the designer intends constitutes abuse now? An interesting perspective for a community with hacker in the name.

I think there's some truth in both perspectives, and the balance of process vs. software improvement comes down to how aggressively you need to compete on price. On cheaper stuff where prices is a bigger determining factor, it makes se

Yes, the differences (and lack of, really) "summering culture" is something I acknowledged in the first sentence of my earlier comment.

SomethingAwful's forums required a paid membership and have been around a long time. IMO one of the points of a paid model is keeping membership down to people who actually care enough to pay said membership.

Is accusing people of being racist, sexist, homophobic, uneducated, etc. not just 'talking'? Because an entire election cycle just completed where one side used those words to discredit their political enemies.

If you truly believe internet randos are some unstoppable force of human nature, then you're amazingly ignorant, and probably cripplingly sensitive. That must suck, sorry about that.
