I agree with you, someone could come in and puke new subs. if anything there should be a threshold like you gain 200 with time frame or whatever you can create one because you been actually active on the site

The sub management of SaidIt has been shit from the beginning, and nothing's changed.

Long ago I suggested something like we create /s/SaidItSubPlanning where we all discuss what subs are needed, or people make their strong arguments for their interest, or have proven that they're using the ones they have (not necessarily a race or contest to fill them, but not abandoned), and vote on whether they should be made or not. People with a lot of empty subs shouldn't get more chances for a longer period.

I'm as guilty as many of having some duds and neglected subs (seemingly abandoned but not really), and part of that could have been avoided if we'd had feedback and input on the naming.

Maybe it's not too late to start a sub-planning sub to reign in the chaos. There's a chance, though slim, that if enough of us were to complain or campaign M7, he might just make a new rule/limit and embrace a democratic discussion-based sub-creation system. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I've noticed you...

granted im very new here. but i seen shit happen in the past. I agree with it, and makes sense.

without saying, i think you know what i'm saying.

i'm all for less restrictions, sometimes you just have to pull those strings in the correct way.

I don't know what you mean. Feel free to speak plainly with me. I welcome criticism that can help me learn or improve.

I'm not a Redditor. Sure I have an account now, but I never got into it. And to be honest I'm not a fan of much of the Reddit culture that comes to SaidIt. Yet much of it I do like. IMO, SaidIt doesn't have to strive to be like Reddit. Maybe I'm just a subversive, or maybe I just like to be free to think and play outside the box.

I'm all for less restrictions too, but I'm also in favour of organizing the chaos when possible. SaidIt has the potential to be a tremendous research tool for truth-seekers, but without categorizations or metatags it's very limited.

The chaos of which I speak is not just about empty subs. There is no shortage of very redundant subs that could be shared, or avoided if they'd just looked to see if there already was one. Also, once a sub is named you can't improve it if you think of a better name later. And then of course there are all the stupid sub names. I could go on and on, and if I brought examples then we'd be here all day.
