Sorry, did not realize it would be so difficult to implement.

It's okay, a lot of this stuff seems like it should be easy but ends up being super difficult. Like just changing from /r/ to /s/ was like a 40-hour project, but you'd think it'd be like a 1-hour find-and-replace type of deal... the code almost always is more complex than I'd expect. Some things that seem easy just aren't.

I really do appreciate the feedback and thoughts on the site. Outside perspectives are super valuable and let us know what people care about. It's just that we only have so many hours a week to devote to this, so we have to choose our battles very carefully, so to speak.

Anyway, I've taken your suggestion of making the sub mod the IRC channnel mod and put it on our to-do list. It's a good idea :)

Yeah, I've heard of how crazy tangled the Reddit codebase was. That was one of the motivations behind a redesign, i believe.
