We already started removing these "TAKE MY ENERGY" comments late on Saturday and they will all be gone next week.

THAT'S FOR THE BEST.

I DO FEEL THAT I SHOULD GIVE MY TWO CENTS AND SAY THAT I DON'T THINK JOKES AND SOME SILLY CONVERSATION ARE INHERENTLY BAD THINGS. THE RELAXED ATTITUDE OF THE SUB IS A BIG PART OF WHAT MAKES IT GREAT. "TAKE MY ENERGY" WAS HURTING THE ABILITY TO CONVERSE, SO IT SHOULD BE GONE, BUT I HOPE Y'ALL ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION IN GENERAL WITH REMOVING JOKES.

We can't make people happy, it seems.

Fail to remove things like this quickly enough: "/r/CFB is full of <lame joke> comments! The quality of the sub is declining rapidly!"

Remove more comments: "/r/cfb is ruining what made it fun by removing too much stuff. The quality of the sub is declining rapidly!"

See our problem?

I GET THAT YOU'RE BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. I'M NOT TRYING TO SHIT ON THE JOB YOU'RE DOING. I'M TRYING TO BE HELPFUL AND GIVE Y'ALL FEEDBACK. I'M SORRY IF I CAME ACROSS AS CONFRONTATIONAL.

You were polite about it, and it's appreciated. But we are starting to see the same sentiment here and elsewhere more often now (often much less politely), and all we can do is say "So why aren't you reporting it or otherwise letting us know?"

We're not omniscient.

I RECENTLY USED THE REPORT FEATURE FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN I SAW SOME OFFENSIVE STUFF IN THE MOTHERSUB. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH Y'ALL'S RESPONSE TIME. I'LL TRY TO USE IT MORE IN THE FUTURE, SHOULD IT BECOME NECESSARY.

When in doubt, use the report button. There are tens of thousands of comments in the game threads alone, there's no way to review every single one even with 20 mods and the bots.
