Possible fixes for the main passport bros sub

There are some steps that the main passport bros sub can take to redirect their conversations, assuming the mods over there want to do that. Since none of these steps are difficult, I have to wonder, do they know they have options? Have they tried these options with no success? Do they prefer the occasional outbreaks that go against their sub's rules? Do they care?

Whatever the case, here are three steps that would probably help return the sub to passport bros, weed out haters, and limit the influence of people (including guys) who work against the conversation.

  1. Disable appearing in r/all, r/popular, and trending lists. This can be done by flipping a switch (literally).
  2. Disable reddit recommending the sub to people with "similar interests." This can be done by flipping a switch (literally). Some of you have probably noticed just how commonly people commenting express that they had no interest in the sub, but they're there simply because it was recommended to them by reddit.
  3. Set up the automod to remove and/or filter posts. This last one requires a bit of technical skill and some decision making. Then it adds more work for mods later, because the mods would have to check and approve posts every so often.

A constant banning of people breaking rules will not work, because new haters with the same old bullshit will keep popping up in droves.

Other than crossposting this post to the sub (don't do that) anyone can copy and paste, otherwise share this message to the mods and members any way you see fit. Make your own post over there if you want.

Personally, I'm "hands off" the main sub at the moment. I won't even post comments. That's not to say I have a problem with anyone (including mods) who care about the sub. It's better for me to not get into debunking the same old bullshit arguments over and over, defending the community, providing the evidence for "it's that bad."

All I do is occasionally hover around and invite people who might understand the conversations we're having here to this sub.

I am available for consulting to implement these changes if needed.
