My only qualm with that is, isn't that sort of already in place? There's several subs I find peronally offensive, so I don't subscript to those subs and never see them unless someone links for some reason. I guess there's a chance they could end up on the front page but I still have the option to not look at it.

Beyond that I'm less worried about WHAT is abhorrent, and more concerned about WHO decided it was abhorrent

From my reading of it, it sounds like they're just going to prevent those subs from showing up in /r/all. I'm fine with that if that's all they're doing, as long as it's implemented responsibly (and they need to be very, *very* transparent about this so that people can watch them). That could still be an easy mechanism for unfair censorship, but no one is going to complain that /r/coontown isn't visible in /r/all. However, if a sub like /r/imguralternatives is hidden for being "undesirable" there's a problem.
