But, in reality it's likely that nothing will have been done by the end of the year. What happens then?

[–]krispykrackers -14ポイント-13ポイント  (14子コメント)

Getting /u/Deimorz on my team full-time has given me a lot of confidence that that's not going to happen. He's an amazing engineer, and more importantly, he has deep understanding of how reddit works, the community, and moderation. He grew /r/games and created AutoModerator long before he even worked here. He was made for this.

Perhaps you're right, he seems like the right guy for the job. That is, assuming he's given the right mandate. This sort of complete non-delivery that has been happening over the last few years is rarely a software development issue, it's a management issue. I would hate to believe that the previous developers working at reddit were completely unable to implement these fairly simple features.

I seem to be rambling, so to get to the point: Will Deimorz be dedicated to working on features for moderators and users of www.reddit.com rather than one of the countless side projects that no one asked for?

Yes, my job is now basically "implement things that the moderators need". What we'll need to figure out next is how exactly we're going to decide which things to do, and in what order.

This is good news. Your knowledge is a huge asset to reddit (thanks for AutoMod!) and I'm glad you are tackling this.

I'd suggest first taking a look at remedying the biggest current complaints, such as:

  • modmail being utter crap: there's no way to effectively sort messages by their content (say, mod invites versus actual messages), or by their origin subreddit, if they were adressed or not (ticket system!), etc; no way to prevent spamming; no way to search old messages... I mean, most modteams rely on IRC, Skype and other IM programs to talk to one another easily just because modmail blows.

  • why so many useful functions require /r/toolbox just to make moderating big subs feasible. Please talk to their creators! Things like usernotes that are only visible to mods, automated removal messages and macros, instant notifications of new messages, etc. Sure, toolbox works, but it's ridiculous that it has to be maintained by volunteers just to address glaring flaws in the moderation tools.

Also, PLEASE give regular updates on what is being worked on. This is crucial to help us make something that would work for everyone.

or [sort messages] by their origin subreddit

Actually, you can filter modmail by subreddit, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/message/moderator/inbox

[–]I_AM_STILL_A_IDIOT 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

True but an overview of where new and unread modmail is would be golden. Like a list with Earthporn (3) | JapanPics (2) and so on.

Please run stuff by /u/Raldi when you're at a crossroads, he's clutch.

[–]raldi 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

If I may spend a bit of my crowd appeal, then please allow me to use it to ask everyone to ease up on the admin downvoting in this thread -- I mean, if they actually post a comment that's stupid or differently-tarded, sure, go right ahead. But I'm seeing a lot of negative scores on comments that don't deserve it, and that's not how you accept the olive branch they're so clearly extending. They're coming to you with their hats in their hands; meet them halfway.

P.S. I like mixed metaphors.

[–]nallen 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Could I ask you to give the mods updates on a reasonable basis?

While there may be a trust issue with others, I think all of us trust you.

[–]Chtorrr 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's amazing.

Yes, my job is now basically "implement things that the moderators need"

Are you concerned at all that this approach may cause you to burn out. Do you think it'll be fulfilling enough to keep you from looking for greener pastures?

[–]japanesetrapeze -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

What you guys need is to make .np links ACTUALLY WORK for goodness sakes, this is a simple fix.

[–]flyryan 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

They need to replace np. NP is not a good solution and is a bandaid fix. Reddit should implement its functionality in a way that is usable for users. If they are really bringing brigading tools, I imagine this will be one of the top things there.

I'm trying not to be pessimistic here, but what you're saying is that basically you are not going to

  • Actually do things

and you're not even going to

  • Decide what things to do

but rather

  • Figure out how to decide what things to do

Unless I'm missing some subtle sarcasm here it seems like the project will be stuck in the planning phase for quite a while, which is exactly what the problem has been for the last few years if not longer. Too much energy spent trying to figure out what to do and too little energy spent on actually doing things.
