There's lots of very low hanging fruit in toolbox that is both simple to add to reddit and really should be native to the platform. Just one example of something simple is built in analytics for spam fighting: http://i.imgur.com/jntiFzw.png[1] or mass/bulk actions on mod queue pages: http://i.imgur.com/BXlDB1d.png[2]

It's not like you guys need to deliver super huge projects to make progress. I could name 10 things in toolbox that would each take less than a week to make native to reddit.

Right and letting us help build those tools would be a boon to reddit and the mods. Tell us not to expect anything by the end of the year is not what anyone wants to hear.

I should mention here right now that the toolbox mass action and RES never ending reddit don't work too well together. You have to fist click the select all, then start scrolling.

If you load multiple pages worth of modqueue and then select all, and then you **don't** scroll down, it only applies actions to the first page.

It's not too much of an inconvenience since one could just click select all before scrolling.

Yeah, I literally wrote both of those in an afternoon (well, technically two afternoons, one for each thing).

I'd love to hear them. Such a list may provide initiative for them to actually make something.

As a side not, I'd kinda like better multi-detection, perhaps a unique ID number randomly assigned to all users, and attached to reports so we can tell if someone's abusing the report system.

"Hi, [admin], ID number xyz344 has spammed 30 reports at us in the last half hour. Can you tell them to knock it off, please?"

Hell, it would make the admin's jobs easier, as well.

Yeah, I think it's pretty reasonable to be able to expect smaller changes rapidly. I didn't mean to sound like nothing would get done by the end of the year. I'll put an edit in my initial comment.

Wait, my toolbox doesn't look like that. I'm on 3.1.2 on firefox. What version is that?
