No. It's not actually censorship. That sub had terrible problems with content quality, and that fixed it. You can become an approved submitter if you message a mod with a quality submission.

Normally I don't agree with censorship, but when it comes to dank memes I think it's OK.

If there are problems with content quality, then the users should decide that by upvoting/downvoting.

First time here from reddit. This place is so much better. I'm not quite ready to quit reddit cold-turkey....yet.

And yes, your comment is right on point. The entire reason I liked reddit was because the USERS decided what was important. Fuck the mods who think they know better and are literally destroying reddit.

For smaller subs, that unfortunately doesn't always work. A submission with 1 point can still make the front page there, and there was a lot of spammy terrible content prior to the change.

Technically you're right. It isn't censorship, but it can be used to censor people.

The subreddit is still getting worse, quality as continued to go down as it has became more and more popular.

I just wanted to say how awesome I think it is that there's a "KotakuInAction" type subverse on here for Reddit. I'm glad I defected.

What an awful subreddit. Surely blocking everyone but a select few goes against what reddit (used) to be about? If you're being spammed with bad (i.e. off-topic, constant reposting) posts, then use your moderation powers correctly and delete (or even flair) the post, informing the submitter what they did wrong. Don't block everybody but a select few from posting, because that'll just drive people away.

I honestly think this is ridiculous. This subreddit was one of my favorite once it started, but it's definitely past its prime. The amount of submissions was already low, and now they are restricted it to a subset of users.

I wouldn't call it censorship because the rules are clearly laid out.

I think censorship, in the sense we're discussing, is when something is removed even though it adheres otherwise to all stated rules and regulations of the area it's being shared.

Screw that, feel free to submit anything you like over at /v/uncensored. Everyone is welcome and the users decide what goes up or down.

It's a last ditch effort to try to keep the sub relevant, as crap submissions could hit the front page simply by being submitted, the post rate went way down over there.

I just don't like their mentality that "no content is better than any content"

It drives new people away from trying to create

It absolutely does. And the reality is that crappy content will be downvoted. It's a core problem with reddit, the votes don't do the moderating anymore.
