I'm almost positive I'm not a part of the dev team. However, I didn't know I moderated AskReddit until they turned the moderators green. I'm sure you're awkwardly referring to this kerfuffle. Something to keep in mind about that: 1) I follow #reddit. 2) I should follow #reddit. I've been talking off-the-record to admins for longer than the current batch of admins has been there. I have been interviewed about Reddit by the Daily Beast, The Economist and several times, the Daily Dot. 3) I should have the option of not having my feed overwhelmed by two hundred refugees that are only going to be around long enough to vent about reddit and be satisfied and go home. That doesn't mean I'm hostile to new blood. After all, I also posted this. That means I'm hostile to new blood that has no intent of integrating, no expectation of adaptation and no patience to listen before speaking.
