I'm not talking about MY submissions, most of my submissions are MVs, lives or variety shows so don't even go there.

You talk a big talk about "fluff" but there is still a great deal of fluff on the subreddit. Really it's the inconsistent moderation that is annoying, especially when VIDEOS are removed but articles from AKP, Soompi, Koreaboo, whatever, AND tweets are considered worthy. If they're self-posts with a good summary of the information, fine. But right now there's stuff about U-Kiss, some eventual variety appearance, and the ROK Army's favorite girl group, I mean really. I personally don't mind it but if you're going to talk about "fluff," that's fluff.

I just don't like seeing interesting videos removed, and I'm not talking about amateur compliations, amateur remixes and what-not where you could make a case for them to not be on the subreddit. I'm talking about more or less first party clips.

The problem with low-quality submissions is also that they generally inspire imitation. If something gets posted that's highly available (say, a random short idol pinup fancam as you like to submit them apparently - there's a subreddit for that, BTW) one instance of it will beget a dozen others, and because that has a trickle-down effect on audience demographics, the upvote/downvote system isn't enough to stem the tide and prevent altering the nature of the place over time.

I'm not in favor of fancam spamming either so I won't complain about this too much, but even so, some notable fancams are still getting removed. If it's a high quality, one off fancam of a specific performance, that is also highly upvoted then it should stay. I think the userbase is more than capable of downvoting spam, your allegation that this subreddit will become a fancam haven is unfounded, as of right now.

Now, I agree that the nature of the place should be up to the subscribers, so moderation policy should be something we make decisions on together. That's why we have State of the Subreddit threads where we can take a long-term view into both the past and the future, and have a real dialog about what we as a community think is working, or not. But those battles can't be fought in every individual submission.

Yeah well I'm giving my thoughts now but it isn't exactly helpful when submissions are just removed outright without a chance for the userbase to say whether or not they want it removed. That's MY biggest concern, since you're just deleting submissions, HIGHLY UPVOTED SUBMISSIONS, willy nilly. As a counterpoint, on the APink subreddit, where I submit a lot of subbed videos (instead of on /r/kpop) the mods actually posted first "hey btw we have a new format for titles, could you do that in the future" and I don't have any problem with that. They didn't just get rid of upvoted submissions.
