Reddark: Website to watch subreddits going dark

This is true until you start touching 3rd rail topics. And having an experience like parent poster's even one time is one time too many IMO.

I've never had a long and thoughtful post censored, but it's frustrated me the once or twice it happened with a short comment that I didn't believe deserved it.

I agree we need moderation to avoid being a cesspool, but a light touch is absolutely essential.

I've had long and thoughtful posts censored. Yeah it sucks. It makes you not want to help people, at least on Reddit. Why would I spend my valuable time helping someone out when it might just get deleted by a 16-year-old modding a subreddit in-between CoD matches?
