View submission: Some changes to the Redditrequest process
It seems obvious why this change has occurred. It would be helpful if there are stricter requirements in place for communities that have recently been locked down due to mod removal by u/modcodeofconduct - if these communities are overtaken by anyone, there are going to be major concerns raised. Now, if these communities are taken over by new accounts with little participation on Reddit, that will qualify pretty much anyone who can wait 1 month, this is a very low bar that will increase the risk of abuse.
So while this seems like a way to get passed these recent issues quicker, it will lead to more problems. If these types of changes were accompanied by metric driven rationale, then it would be helpful to be given SOME insight into these decisions.
I’m not happy with recent decisions, but I’m willing to at least hear out the business rationale to understand WHY these unpopular changes are occurring. Assuming this is all in preparation for an IPO, it would be good practice to provide this kind of information so potential investors can make more informed decisions. If I was considering buying Reddit stock, I would not see any of these recent changes as a positive sign.
There's nothing here!
