There's some censorship going on in the newly popular feminist subs and it needs to be openly addressed.

I think what is needed is a simple feature that allows users to select between moderated and unmoderated views of sub. Users that want only moderated content would never see deleted comments, never be bothered by banned users, never take part in locked threads. Everyone else could just carry on with the discussion like adults.

eta: with that simple change made, you could even go on to allow multiple moderation teams, and allow users to pick the style of moderation on each sub that suits them best.

They can make /s/gender_critical_public to accomplish this. Two subs, two mod teams, different approaches to the same subject. I think that'd work great.

In my experience splitting subs has caused so many problems on reddit, and it happened with forums that split in the bulletin board days too. The new sub always struggles to gain recognition, the old sub starts accusing the new one of brigading. In a way the whole site is just another split, except from reddit as a whole. Think of what happened with the takeover of /r/politics, and all the clones that popped up. How much easier would it have been for a group of users to simply create a new mod team for the sub with a different set of rules and different bias. For the most part everyone could still take part in the same discussion on the same topics, with only limited but discoverable differences between banned users and the like.

exactly. Keep all the posts in one spot and let the readers choose how they want to moderate.

Magnora7 plz plz plz implement this. It will go a HUGE way to prevent the fuckup that is reddit occuring again.

That's a great idea.

check out notabug.io's "spaces", it's similar

It's too hard to use. And now go1dfish is gone I don't expect it to improve :-(. Voting is retarded on notabug too.

exactly this is what I want! It will prevent moderator tyranny.

User selectable mods please. Notabug has it with "Spaces" but it is really confusing and hard to use. Surely the code can be taken from Notabug and made better.

Paging /u/VantaFount because I think this is a very good idea.
