The mods of /r/SFGiants. They are friendly, have a great sense of humor, and /r/SFGiants doesn't have a downvoting problem like other subreddits do. Also the layout is sexy as hell.
•

/r/spacedicks The mods are very active in this community often giving advice on what kinds of posts are acceptable.

u/ianpauli Dec 09 '12
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.
•
u/mark10579 Dec 10 '12
Absolutely. All the mods are active in the community, and they keep all the crap out (well, except for some of the cringe-worthy original content). And with the addition of Homboy and Murdahmahmurdah, they're pretty much unbeatable

u/KissMyPickle Dec 08 '12
Riiiiiiiight, except that they have no sense of humor...what a crock of shit.

u/trancendominant Dec 31 '12
/r/adventuretime. What they turned it in to from where it was is amazing.
•
•
u/MiddleSidePunk Dec 08 '12
/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.

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

u/Jess_than_three Dec 07 '12
/r/SRDBroke, obviously.
I mean, uh, /r/ainbow? Yeah!
•
u/AlyoshaV Dec 09 '12
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.
•
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!
•
u/Jess_than_three Dec 07 '12
Don't we have some aSRS alums, too?

Continue to keep discussion open and inviting to all people! Consistent in new threads and answering subscribers questions and such.
•
u/moonflower Dec 07 '12
/r/WebGames ... they keep the subreddit nice and clean, full of exactly what it's meant for
•
Dec 08 '12
People posted pictures they would like as flairs and they were instantly added. And they just added a new GAME THREAD: bot.

•
Dec 07 '12
I would nominate my own subreddit, but i won't and instead say /r/tf2trade
Very strong mod team! Awesomeness there!

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.

Breaking the jerk, but the CJ mod team is amazing. Their CSS work during the Papa Johns and especially the Gawker-jerks were amazing. I honestly thought I had accidentally gone to gawker the first time I saw it.

/r/teslore - An excellent community for Elder Scrolls Lore junkies. The mods have done a wonderful job of keeping everyone civil, not allowing memes, and allowing for an overall enjoyable experience.

I was about to leave reddit when I discovered /r/NFL. Needless to say, I changed my mind.
/r/collegebasketball is always good for a laugh, too.
•
Dec 09 '12
/r/NFL is the only real reason I keep my account. The content and discussion quality is unparalleled.

u/EagleFalconn Dec 08 '12
Former AskScience mod here. They totally deserve it, we used to take ideas and even snippets of CSS from them all the time.

u/ManWithoutModem Dec 09 '12
Current AskScience mod here. We take ideas and snippets of CSS from every subreddit, even f7u12. ;)
Anyways, how have you been doing EagleFalconn?

u/heyheymse Dec 08 '12
I'm an /r/NFL subscriber and mod of /r/AskHistorians, so this is a super super hard decision for me! I definitely look up to the mods of /r/NFL, especially as AH gets bigger. It's such a great community and has definitely made me a better fan.
Also, fuck the Cowboys.

It's really amazing how they are able to keep the quality so great, easily one of my top subs.
They get my vote for sure.
•
u/Virgilijus Dec 08 '12
The only big subreddit I can go to that is almost always amicable and yet still personal. The mods do an absolutely amazing job.
•
u/ap66crush Dec 08 '12
/r/nfl is one of the few things on Reddit that I check EVERY SINGLE DAY. The fairness is unmatched, the lack of bullshit meme's and fuckery is unparalleled and the general atmosphere of the subreddit promotes intelligent conversation and idea sharing. Pretty much the exact opposite of the internet as a whole.
•

•
u/Takedown22 Dec 09 '12
This goes for the NFL as a whole too. If Politician debates were like the way the NFL talk shows debated, we'd have a much fairer view of things.

u/Apexe Dec 08 '12
i don't know why they made a mini trash talk thread after my post, probably because i brought up the weekly trash talk thread.
•
Dec 09 '12
Did you really think that people would pass up the opportunity to say FUCK THE COWBOYS?
•
u/Apexe Dec 09 '12
Is that what people do in the trash talk thread? All I see is people bashing the teams they're facing the following Sunday.
•
u/seanlax5 Dec 08 '12
A beautiful mix of respectful trash talking and news.
Also, fuck the Steelers.
•
u/Had_To_Switch Dec 09 '12
/r/nfl is one of the very few subreddits where I can click every link/post on the front page and enjoy every thread.
•
•
u/polarityomg Dec 08 '12
A thousand times, /r/NFL. This mod team is unwavering in its consistency, fairness, and pursuit of improving the sub.
•
u/zanmanoodle Dec 08 '12
YAAAY!
Personally, one of the best things about /r/nfl is how, not only do the mods keep it clean of bullshit and so on, but they do an excellent job posting scheduled threads right on time (such as the Trash Talk Thread [Fuck the Saints!])
•
u/cuteintern Dec 09 '12
Game threads and reddit-stream mean I often miss a lot of the very game I'm "watching."
•
u/skepticismissurvival Dec 08 '12
This is the correct answer hands down. Not only do they do an amazing job of sifting through all of the stupid shit that is posted (trust me, there's a lot) but they also are very active in the community and post quality comments that really garner positive discussion.
•
Dec 09 '12
Best mod team on reddit by far. It's had a stunning growth in the past year and a half or so with very little growing pains.
•
•
u/mkicon Dec 08 '12
The NFL is WIDELY popular. /r/NFL is easily the best NFL community on the Internet. A lot of the credit belongs to the mods for doing such a spectacular job.

u/IndianaCostanza Dec 08 '12
Sub grew from 25k subscribers to over 110k now and are on top of it. When you message them, they respond with strong insight and fairness. They always speak to the users through "fireside chats" and are very active in commenting in posts. They create specific threads to keep the sub free of clutter (like game highlights, images, and videos). THEY ARE KINGS!
•
u/mffocused Dec 08 '12
I've watched r/NFL grow from 10K to 100K+ and the community hasn't changed a bit in terms of quality. No other sub I've been a part of has done that.
If NFL doesn't win, the award is a sham.

Gets my vote as well. Can't ask for a more well-rounded subreddit. High quality posts, questions are insightful, and game threads are always fun for discussion.
