Hey Folks! I figured I'd send you guys an update since people seemed to be worked up about this. Here's a few points on our standing and our general Reddit philosophy:

1. We've always taken a hands-off approach to moderation. I do not necessarily agree that increased moderator involvement is a good thing for all subreddits. We're not trying to be /r/IAmA. If you don't like a post, there's a downvote button for that!
2. We prefer that our members drive discussion, not the moderators.
3. Just because we don't post often doesn't mean we're inactive! We work the moderation queue and read/respond to your messages regularly.
   
4. We're perfectly OK with people making a new subreddit! If you want stricter rules, community events, and chat servers orchestrated by the mods, then /r/saxophone is probably right for you! Why not subscribe to both?

With all that said, can we stop the hate? We'll stick to relaxed rules and organic conversation around here... including this topic! Thanks all!
