1. Do you guys check out /r/ideasfortheadmins? There are quite a few great ideas that you could choose from there to introduce to reddit
2. What is the process to get subs that blatantly violate reddit's involuntary pornography rules[1] banned or atleast have an admin look at them?
3. I wish the /r/communitydialogue project gets started again. There are quite a lot of things moderators wish to discuss with the admins like /u/achievementunlockd. I hope you're able to allocate more resources to this subreddit. Two particular areas of concern for me anyway is how to deal with spam that is not caught by the spambot at /r/spam, and how to better deal with ban evaders.
4. Why do admins mod hate subs like /r/onionhate? They ban innocent users from /r/OnionLovers
5. Can we have better traffic stats for subreddits? The existing stats exclude mobile traffic and are not very indepth.

1. Yes. The limiting factor for improvements isn't ideas, it's our ancient codebase and hesitation to break things like RES and custom styles. In that respect, I feel like we've been held hostage from a development point of view (Stockholm syndrome?). That's why we're so excited to rewrite desktop web. It's going to be a doozy, but worth it in the end.
2. Please send to contact@reddit.com
3. Yes. I'll follow up there. I know it got a little derailed with Spezgiving and the holidays.
4. If u/sodypop says so, that's the way it is

In regard to point 4, I feel it necessary to point out that onion lovers have been scientifically proven to be mentally defective, and possibly dangerous to normal-thinking (aka onion-hating) people. We at /r/onionhate have tried in the past to convert onion lovers to the normal and right way of thinking (the onion-hating way), but have been largely unsuccessful due to the fact that the onion-loving defect seems to be ingrained in their DNA in most cases, or so far indoctrinated into them that reversing it is virtually impossible. While we, as compassionate people, continue to try to convince people of the evil of the onion, we admittedly don't try as hard as we might have in the past before this evidence came to light, especially when said onion-loving defectives come into our subs and attempt to proselytize in favor of the filthy onion.
I hope one day that all of humanity will convert to the right and true way and learn to see onions for what they are: a scourge on all that is good in this world, and a source of pure and unfiltered evil. Until then, we must unfortunately be somewhat heavy-handed in our handling of those who would come to our temple of light and attempt to spread the most horrific blasphemies. I'm sure you can understand our position on this.

What about squatting on subreddits just so no one triggers us? Can we stop that?

The existing stats exclude mobile traffic
They do? You mean 40% of content views don't show up on the subs' stats pages?

as well as content that glorifies or promotes rape or non-consensual sexual violence.
I look at porn daily, and like a bit of the dom stuff but I definitely think the line could be moved closer to erring on the side of removing some of the more rapey/sexual assault stuff. It's going to be a hazy line, but like in many subs mod's make their call, popular or not.

Whoa. I can't believe traffic stats don't count mobile views—that means they're tantamount to worthless right now.

Onions are the best. People who dislike onions had questionable childhoods.

Why do you care about porn on here at all?

Honestly, this just turns reddit into more of an advertising platform. Let's not.
