I want the spirit of the law, you seem to want the letter of the law.

Following rules to the letter is far less important than achieving the desired goal of the rule. In fact it's often downright detrimental.

I never said off-topic.

'Hey the word Trump isn't allowed, but I can see you were using the word 'trump card' and not talking about Donald Trump so I'll use my brain and allow it"

"Hey I can see this detailed and informative reply is only 49/50 words long. I understand the word limit is intended to create discussion, not limit it so I'll use my brain and allow it."

"We don't allow accounts with a low karma amount to post, because it could be indicative of a spam/bot account but I can see your comment isn't either of those so I'll use my brain and allow it.

Never once had this issue in my entire life. Any blockage would be redirected into one stream by foreskin.

A human would be able to use common sense.

Why would Americans ever have Centrelink?

Our NY government? Are you Australian or American here, make up your mind.

This sounds like a circumcised circumstance?

It’s a risk I’d rather take, than letting automation make this another reddit where all the big communities are managed by algorithms.

A human could see a post was only 49/50 words and apply their judgement to know that this post is acceptable because the quality of what was said was more important than the quantity.

A human could see the word trumpcard was in fact not about Trump.

If the price to pay to be moderated by humans and not algorithms is that obscenely large communities can’t exist, than we should be pushing for human sized communities.

Automatically removing comments without human oversight and for mundane things.

Randomly triggered a hidden keyword? Goodbye post.

Only wrote 49 words instead of 50? Goodbye post.

Account didn’t get enough updoots from strangers prior to posting? Goodbye post.

Call me old fashioned, but I would rather a human at the helm of such decisions not an algorithm.

Automod was one of the worst things to happen to Reddit from a user experience standpoint. So what I want from an automod is to never see one.

China will never become socialist. They’re loving the authoritarian state capitalism’s benefits to their elites too much.

Gee, I wonder what could have happened to piss off the Canucks?
