Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Mods locking threads because β€œy'all can’t behave” jfc just ban accounts breaking the rules and let the rest discuss

For real. I'm so sick of mod drama. 99% of the time, any sub drama boiled down to a mod freaking out over X

r/AmItheAsshole is guilty of this.

They're guilty of made up bullshit as well.

I feel like that's part of the appeal at this point πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The reason they do this is so they don't have to spend their entire life moderating a single thread.

Most trolls are posting on your sub for the first (and, if not banned, last) time in my experience, so bans to deal with a problem thread is fairly ineffective.

Some subs will set posts "members only" or whatever they decide to call it, which is a nice compromise.
