Hi, this is off topic but just wanted to ask about a possible rule, limiting how many subs one person can moderate that way we never get someone like N8thegr8 from reddit, I'd say 100 would make for a good limit that way it's high enough that any one person would only hit it if their hoarding subs cough u/JasonCarswell is getting close to hoarding subs as of late cough

I've been here longer than you. I didn't make all those subs. I was invited into many of them. I'm adding CSS to them, adding banners, and trying to find mods to share or give them to. I am not hoarding them and I resent you saying that, obviously without knowing anything about it. Further, if I was some kind of malevolent mod hoarder I would have actually used my all-mighty mod powers by now. I don't even know how yet. I'M NOT A REDDITOR and I reject any notions to conform to that site's failed culture or your limiting opinions on what I can or cannot do. So check yourself before you come at me again.

Also, I'm not against a democratic decision to determine a limit, though no one has adequately given a rational reason why, other than abuses. If someone abuses power they should be dealt with, regardless of whether they have one sub or a thousand. A person who kills another should be dealt with, regardless if they did it by accident, or in hate, hate for their skin, religion, or an ex-girlfriend. Just deal with the crime, not the what-if bullshit.

I don't think he was trying to be malicious towards you. Just pointing out that you sit on a lot of subs and in the future someone else could abuse that type of influence. You've be an amazing person and very helpful so far and I support you. Reddit certainly has some user that abuse their influence/sell it, etc. We are all trying to watch out for that.
