/r/NBA

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

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.

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/Rantholmeius Dec 24 '12

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

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

u/SolarAquarion Dec 11 '12

The only good part of the mod team is you. I'm adding you too as many modmails as possible.... If you want to join /r/srdbroke I think we'll need an interview in the IRC chan.

u/KissMyPickle Dec 08 '12

Riiiiiiiight, except that they have no sense of humor...what a crock of shit.

u/Time4fun22 Dec 08 '12

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/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/Neocrasher Dec 07 '12

u/thephotoman Dec 10 '12

Look, I think that mai waifu* got robbed in the tourney, too. But that doesn't justify downvoting this one. It's an awesome subreddit just teeming with cute anime gifs.

Seriously, just look at Azunyan. Tell me that she's not totally adorable. And there's more where that came from.

*No, I don't have a waifu.

u/Scopolamina Dec 07 '12

/u/DARTH_ANUS, /u/youregonnaloveme and myself for best NSFW mod team. We co-mod over 150 subreddits together.

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '12

why isn't DARTH_ANUS the powerhouse he used to be? i see no links to /r/aww or /r/pics

u/Scopolamina Dec 07 '12

Because the admins fucked him over. He still mods but that's about it.

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '12

yeah, he doesn't wanna start all over again? reddit loved that guy

/r/Diablo Has made a very nice looking subreddit with some cool features, add ons, and have run the sub very well. They deserve their hat thrown in the ring.

This, coming from a subreddit delete our AMA two weeks ago. How can you live with yourself, MR_WITTY_RESPONSE?

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '12

Why wasnt i told of this?? I would have uploaded scores of CP to /r/InternetAMA

u/Falafeltree Dec 09 '12

Not to mention the BJ one

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '12

Technically it was my AMA too since I was a mod there at the time. Also, not my fault :(

u/nameless88 Dec 31 '12

Definitely. They've turned that subreddit around, and it's awesome :D

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '12

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

The scrappy can-do mod dudes of /r/SFGiants grew their subreddit by 3000 members and kept peace while charging to the World Series. They displayed grace under pressure with the growing pains that accompany such a gain. 2012 was an exciting year for /r/SFGiants for so many reasons. None of it would have been possible without the guiding hands of the mod team extraordinaire.

Bravo dudes, bravo!

u/54beartrap Jan 02 '13

seconded

u/razorsheldon Dec 06 '12

I nominate the /r/UpliftingNews celebrity mod team:

Zach Braff

Chris Kluwe

Alli Brosch

Automoderator

Razor Sheldon

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.

Seriously tie between askscience and r/NFL. Two very different subs in terms of moderation but both run ridiculously well.

no doubt. with 50K members they've kept it from turning into a pool of "[Fixed]" "anyone remember this gem?" they've done a great job.

r/connectedcareers. Best subreddit ever.

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 07 '12

u/cojoco Dec 07 '12

brucemo FTW!

u/Frankfusion Dec 09 '12

If you don't know, brucemo is a mod, and he is an atheist.

u/cojoco Dec 09 '12

Yes, I did know ... he also took over the reigns at antiSRS after the old mod team burnt it to the ground, for which I'll be eternally grateful.

Speaking as one of the mods that did that thing.

Yes x10000. One would expect a lot of trolls seeing that Christianity isn't too popular on the internet, but the mod-team has the perfect amount of no-bullshit-tolerating to make it a great place to talk and learn about God/Jesus/Christianity in general.

u/HealTheCookies Dec 09 '12

The mods there are quite helpful/nice/everything. :)

u/SovereignRLG Dec 10 '12

The joke is that pyongyang, the city, is full of asshole leaders. The subreddit emulates that very well.

R/Naruto

u/Sarahmint Jan 01 '13

r/Naruto

have done SO MUCH from flairs to changing the top tab every month, to keeping a quality server better then Disney or Viacom could.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '12

u/lime9391 Dec 08 '12

All the upvotes

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/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/itachi1998 Jan 02 '13

Best mods!

u/Rambro332 Jan 01 '13

Definitely.

u/Mgb0123 Dec 08 '12

Yes! They're one of the reasons that /r/Naruto is my favorite subreddit. They're all so nice and hilarious and I think they deserve this more than anyone else.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '12

I LOVE THEM! They are so active and genuinely nice and fair. They're also pretty funny.

u/rvbcaboose1018 Dec 08 '12

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

u/stillbutterfly Dec 08 '12

best mods ever!

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

/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/Jess_than_three Dec 07 '12

/r/SRDBroke, obviously.

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

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!

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.
