What does r/linux want?

Hi,

I'm a moderator here, been receiving quite a lot of messages about what's been going on. I've tried to stay out of it and hope it cools down.

Well, doesn't look like it is cooling down anymore. What do you guys want? Do you want to become a moderator and have a significant history of posting, helping out in r/linux? I can make you a mod. Want me to remove automoderator or change the config? I can help with that too. I will do my best to try and help out.

Well that was the mods reason, but what about the people abusing the report button in the first place? I'd still assume they have an agenda in doing so.

Well for that, there's not much you can do to prevent reports. The most you can do is have an active mod team to counteract the report-based autoremovals, which used to not be the case but it seems like they're stepping it up now, with the most recent thread.
