I'm moderating a handful of communities, most of which I want to get going and a few that I'm keeping an eye on till someone else takes over (ex. Provinces/territories)

Some communities have hit the threshold, and others I'm working to get rolling still. The mod tools though are very ineffective, and any post that spirals will take a long time to clean up. You need to open the post and systematically remove content in the correct order else you lose access to rule breaking content.

If the communities were half as big as Reddit, I don't think we could keep them clean
