View submission: Reddit Chief Engineer Bethanye Blount Quits After Less Than Two Months On the Job
Was the 3-6 month timeline for a handful of moderation tools really bullshit? It seems fairly reasonable to me, depending upon staffing.

From the article:
*Blount said she left because she did not think she “could deliver on promises being made to the community.*
*“I feel like there are going be some big bumps on the road ahead for Reddit,” Blount said. “Along the way, there are some very aggressive implied promises being made to the community — in comments to mods, quotes from board members — and they’re going to have some pretty big challenges in meeting those implied promises.”*
You don't leave Facebook and take a job as Reddit's Chief Engineer, and then suddenly quit after less than two months, unless there is some pretty serious fuckery afoot and you don't want to get caught up in it.

Considering they've had years to put them out and haven't, I'm guessing 3-6 months is unreasonable
