Just wanted to take a moment to reflect back on the decision to ban direct imgur link posts, and how the sub has changed since.

I think that the content quality has improved tenfold due to more unique posts getting better visibility without all the [spotted] posts inundating the new queue. The mods made a big bet on the decision and I think it worked out perfectly and kept the sub from being a blown out image posting site.

Thanks!
