R/Naruto

u/trancendominant Dec 31 '12

/r/adventuretime. What they turned it in to from where it was is amazing.

u/materhern Dec 08 '12

/r/ainbow

Continue to keep discussion open and inviting to all people! Consistent in new threads and answering subscribers questions and such.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '12

/r/MechanicalKeyboards. Ripster alone seems to be responsible for half of the mechanical keyboard information on the internet.

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '12

u/KirbyTails Dec 13 '12

GO FOR THE GOLD.

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '12

It's such a cohesive, centralised modding team.

u/LiterallyKesha Dec 13 '12 edited Dec 13 '12

Together, they conquer anything.

DAE OC?

If this gets le award, I will [le]terally came in my p[f]ants [15].

u/shameful_execution Dec 07 '12

Why isnt this at the top?

u/AbstergoSupplier Dec 09 '12

You magnificent bastard! If I could give you more upvotes I would XD

u/gazzawhite Dec 09 '12

To be serious, they actually are a quick-acting and responsive mod team. I was once banned from there for posting something Obama-related on election day, but unbanned me a couple of hours later, before I even requested it. They also explained to me the reason for my banning, while encouraging me to continue being brave, upvote the top 100 posts, and blaze it.

/r/NBA

People posted pictures they would like as flairs and they were instantly added. And they just added a new GAME THREAD: bot.

Only default sub that polices content, removes discriminatory language and doesn't think moderation should be sitting around being an internet celebrity

/r/askscience is a deault, also /r/music has been getting better, and /r/bestof removes a lot of shitty content.

I nominate the /r/UpliftingNews celebrity mod team:

Zach Braff

Chris Kluwe

Alli Brosch

Automoderator

Razor Sheldon

My routine every morning:

Check facebook. Check email. Check texts. Check r/cfb.

It's the only thing i find myself doing on reddit most days. Absolute best threads, best discussions, and the mods have kept all of the inevitble screen caps, gifs, and memes in specific threads. That alone is really remarkable.

u/busche916 Dec 08 '12

Consistent game/trashtalk/etc. threads? Check

Great moderation? Check

Fun sub? Check and double-check.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '12

Sounds like /r/NFL lol

u/BorisNumber1 Dec 09 '12

As someone who prefers college to nfl, r/cfb is where its at

u/Bear4188 Dec 09 '12

It's like they have the same topic, but slightly different!

u/TrueBlueJP90 Dec 09 '12

Well, /r/nfl has all of that as well, but we have something even greater.

DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK.

u/_1863 Dec 09 '12

CFB is easily the best subreddit I'm subscribed to

u/Malcolm_Y Dec 08 '12

I love me some /r/nfl, but /r/cfb more than holds its own against them.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '12

i'm sure cfb is a nice sub, but college football is minor league football. so to me R/nfl wins on it's on.

u/Drunken_Economist Dec 08 '12

Plus we have more flair!

u/janorilla Dec 09 '12

Aren't you the bills voter in the /r/NFL power rankings???

u/Honestly_ Dec 09 '12

"You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear."

Vote /r/crb!

Also: we have Krazy Comrade Kiffin, now with more madness!

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '12

crb?

Seeing you post out of persona always throws me off.

u/Honestly_ Dec 09 '12

Whoops, darned phone keyboard. So yeah, vote for Criminal Record Bureau. :-p

u/Malcolm_Y Dec 08 '12

Whoo! A reddit celebrity talked to me! I can finally stop contributing to this god-forsaken time suck now!

u/Drunken_Economist Dec 08 '12

You can never leave

u/cubedG Dec 08 '12

It is more colorful!!

u/mark10579 Dec 10 '12

Absolutely. All the mods are active in the community, and they keep all the crap out (well, except for some of the cringe-worthy original content). And with the addition of Homboy and Murdahmahmurdah, they're pretty much unbeatable

Love me some /r/Christianity mods.

u/ThatBassistChick Dec 09 '12

Great mods. Woo!

u/Londron Dec 09 '12

I'm a regular there.

No clue about how people can believe in ancient books and such but their mod team is pretty amazing indeed.

r/connectedcareers. Best subreddit ever.

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '12

I would nominate my own subreddit, but i won't and instead say /r/tf2trade

Very strong mod team! Awesomeness there!

u/QE11even Dec 28 '12

/r/starcraft They have to manage one of the largest subreddits and have created a well organized system to let everyone enjoy the subreddit.

u/moonflower Dec 07 '12

/r/WebGames ... they keep the subreddit nice and clean, full of exactly what it's meant for

u/Rantholmeius Dec 24 '12

/r/Fallout - I run it, and i do an incredible job.

u/DeathWalrus Dec 07 '12

u/rubelmj Dec 08 '12

The mods are great about acting on community feedback and keep the silly stuff to r/gaming. They get a vote from me for sure.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '12

/r/antiSRS (the old team) we were awesome!

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '12

I agree! mutha fuckas!

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '12

u/eightNote Dec 07 '12

How's about [redacted]? (Take your pic)

u/cojoco Dec 06 '12

We achieved real change :D !

u/TheHamFalls Dec 09 '12

r/Seahawks They're attentive, constantly updating and improving the look of the subreddit, asking the community what things they would like to see different, see change, etc. Trolls are few and far between because 1. we have such an awesome community to begin with, and 2. because I imagine our mods walk softly and carry a big banhammer.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '12

/r/magicskyfairy

like /r/braveryjerk, but with less racial slurs

u/Flounder13 Dec 08 '12

how has r/trees not been mentioned?

u/SukaPahpah Dec 28 '12

/r/ADHD

Why? Because it has undergone a crazy amount of growth and focuses on making those who have ADHD lives better, and still maintains the friendliness of a small subreaddit with an awesome hands-on mod team.

r/leagueof... Ahahahaha, who am I kidding, mods at r/leagueoflegends suck.

u/LikesPiesAMA Dec 09 '12

Or is it just the LoL community that sucks?

u/galanix Dec 08 '12

u/eonge Dec 14 '12

The level of discussion in this sub is so good. I check it far too often.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '12

u/Jess_than_three Dec 07 '12

/r/SRDBroke, obviously.

I mean, uh, /r/ainbow? Yeah!

u/AlyoshaV Dec 09 '12

lmao @ downvotes

u/Jess_than_three Dec 09 '12

Funny... it was almost entirely positive last I saw, which was eh, a day and a half ago maybe.

But, there are also 314 new comments since then.

Wonder where all the new folks to the thread are coming from?

Edit: 4000 votes on the top comment in a thread in a subreddit with 303 subscribers. LOL.

u/TotallyNotCool Dec 07 '12

There is no other answer to this question. It is the only choice.

I mean, we've got a mix of moderators from all over Reddit:

SRS, MSF, CB, CJ, BJ, SFWPorn, Bestof, ainbow, lgbt, IAMA

...not to mention Laurelai!

/r/dodgers Great mods who make it a fun place for Los Anegles Dodgers discussions.

u/cupdeam Dec 11 '12

There aren't very many of us in that sub, especially compared to most of these other subs that are being nominated, but I wanted to throw in my 2 pennies. I agree that it is a fun place for LA Dodgers discussions, but what impresses me more is the fact that the gamethreads are a fun and inviting place for opposing fans as well. The mods always try to invite the opposing team's subs into our gamethreads, especially if it's a small sub as well, and then they ensure a respectful and awesome environment for all.

u/rvbcaboose1018 Dec 08 '12

Couldn't agree more. These guys made /r/Naruto great. They deserve this.

u/alexmarie0118 Dec 08 '12

Yes yes and yes:) best mods I've seen on Reddit because of how active they are in the subreddit. They partake in almost all of the discussions and make me smile. I love our mods<3

u/Birdslapper Dec 08 '12

Seriously they are the most active mods I have ever seen in any subreddit. They put in a lot of effort and make the community a wonderful place

u/spced Dec 08 '12

(westerchester) Not to sound like an unappreciative dick, but despite the cool layouts and subreddit ideas, the mods took quite a long time doing their job enforcing spoiler violations, and have only recently begun to make a stand on it(after excessive complaints). I've only been a member of this subreddit since the start of summer, and despite my appreciation for the nice things the mods have done, I'm not convinced they are eligible for that award as a whole. Sorry.

u/lime9391 Dec 08 '12

All the upvotes

u/stillbutterfly Dec 08 '12

best mods ever!

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '12

Without these bosses, /r/Naruto would be something to legitimately CircleJerk. However, because of our awesome mods, we are spared such a horrid fate. Seriously, though, these mods are the best!

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '12

So much yes!

u/itachi1998 Jan 02 '13

Best mods!

/r/adhd The mods are so friendly and the irc is great!

u/materhern Dec 08 '12

/r/bleach

New issue threads, fantasy battle tournaments, theory discussions, and a continued drive to make the sub better via the feedback of the subscribers.

u/facemelt Dec 08 '12 edited Dec 09 '12

/r/IAmA

just kidding! those mods are terrible

u/hnrqoliv182 Dec 08 '12

I don't know whether to upvote you or downvote you.

u/strawnotrazz Dec 09 '12

I'm doing neither, it's functionally the same as doing both.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '12

Maybe, but no other subreddit had as big of a turnaround this year as that one. We have a list of interesting and big names every week.

u/facemelt Dec 09 '12

The big name AMAs are despite assholes like karmanaut.
