Moderated fora? Each sub-reddit has its own moderation team.

Thanks for the information-- I just assumed that the original post was describing a real problem. Perhaps the next question is why there aren't fora with better information about some of those popular subjects.

Lol, I am OP.

The reason why there aren't sub-reddits is discussed in the article. You either need an exclusive niche or strict moderation. The areas described are both general interest and hard to strictly moderate because of the difficulty in defining objective article quality.
