Holy shit, what.

Okay, then, a lot of concerns have been voiced over the wordfilters on /r/technology, notably from this article, but also about other things like Tesla vehicles.

What's the deal with that, and what's your answer to that criticism?

It is true that certain keywords trigger automatic removal of posts, but it's not due to censorship.

/r/technology is understaffed (more mods are being added right now, but not without pushback from higher-up, inactive mods) and the current list of mods was unable to keep up with the traffic. Certain topics that are not appropriate for the subreddit were automatically removed in order to make it possible to moderate the subreddit effectively.

For example, a post about a tech company filing for bankruptcy is not about technology and should be submitted to a more appropriate subreddit, like /r/news or /r/business.

Keywords that are often associated with such articles were added to the filter as a precaution. If a legitimate post has been filtered, its submitter should contact us to get it approved.

New mods are currently being added (I'm one of them) and therefore the list of filtered keywords is being shortened due to the increased moderator presence. Tesla has already been removed from the list, for example.

These are the mods who supported AgentLame. This thread is an attempt to shitstir against the few moderators who actually had the balls to force him out for the good of the sub.

Maxwellhill

Do we know who he's working for or what his agenda is? Why not get rid of him?

[–]SolarAquarion 3 ポイント4 ポイント
