May 2017 Transparency Report
Hello humans or aliens, thanks for reading!
Admittedly it's been a very slow month for us at /r/pics – We have a number of things we would like to tackle but are waiting and trying to resolve issues that are currently outside our hands. Before we get started on a few awesome projects, we want to close up some important loose ends. Part of this involves working with admin who are known for operating slower than any meaningful metaphor/similes I could make.
With that in mind, here are the stats for May 2017
| May | Data | Difference | Comment | 3 Month Average | YTD | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Submissions to Subreddit | 35280 | Up ~1500 | Within pretty normal varience, a bit higher than average | 34,316 | 163,716 | |
| Total Moderation Actions | 42277 | Down ~1000 | Overall, moderation actions declined – This doesn't necessarily mean that we had less content to moderate or made any concrete changes as moderation actions are entirely dependant on the kind of content users submit | 42978 | 227271 | |
| Submission Removals | 10710 | Down ~2500 | Notably under average, even with submissions higher | 12053 | 64878 | 30.36% of all submissions posted were removed |
| Comment Removals | 13434 | Up ~3000 | Higher than average by a serious amount. We had a number of threads that were more controversial than the typical threads we get | 11418 | 55004 | |
| Posts Approved | 3385 | Down ~900 | While this number can fluctuate without us making any noted changes, this tends to related to how fine tuned our automod rules are | 4020 | 22430 | |
| Comments Approved | 4796 | Up ~1000 | 4563 | 24901 | ||
| Bans | 1108 | Up ~400 | Closer to average than last month which was quite the outlier. That said, we often use these controversial posts as "honeypots" to help remove repeat offenders who just can’t helpthemselves | 1029 | 5513 | |
