View submission: Experimental reddit change: subreddits may now opt-out of /r/all
Good, giving subreddits more control over their growth is a brilliant decision. I think it is far more important for sub mods and users to have this ability than it is for people to find new subs.
It doesn't matter if *you* are a model subscriber, if you come in through /r/all you probably came in with many more "bad" users. Lets be honest, do you want a community built from a trickle of new users who found their own way to a sub (or found it through associated communities) or do you just want massive growth from the /r/all crowd?
This isn't about turning subreddits into isolated communities no one can find, its about giving power back to medium sized communities that do not want the influx from /r/all.

Regardless, that's what it gives us. If you don't want new users, then go private.
