There is a 3 day delay between creating a user account and making a subreddit, at the moment.

We do plan to move away from the term 'subreddit' and away from the /r/. We're thinking maybe /x/ and call them 'SubXes', how does that sound?

As far as the vetting process, it all comes down to the pyramid of debate, shown here: https://antiextremes.com/r/AntiExtremes/comments/3a/welcome_to_antiextremescom/

If a person is caught consistently dragging discussion down the levels of the pyramid, they will be eventually banned. A person who is consistently dragging things up the pyramid is very highly valued here.

How about SubExtremes? Same number of syllables as 'subreddit', and embodies the founding principle of the site. SubExtreme = less than extreme

Could be SubX, but pronounced subextreme...

That's good! I like it. I may use that.

But if you have to shorten it to one letter, stay with 'X' or you get subby. ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)
