With regret, for the time being, all submissions are disabled in listentothis. Please read this announcement for more information.
I like to think we do a good job keeping our subscribers in listentothis isolated from the day to day bullshit drama that clings to so many other areas of this website.
Today, we're more or less forced to get involved as a show of solidarity with the other moderators of this website, people who dedicate countless hours of time to trying to help these communities operate. We're not endorsing the actions of other moderation teams or taking a side on censorship or justice or any of the other drama on reddit. That's not what this is about.
We're simply standing with the other moderators to say that this website has problems, and it is high fucking time that someone took them seriously.
For full, accurate details with little drama, please read this writeup.
Edit4: Here's another excellent summary of problems.

Feel free to have an open discussion about this in the comments here.
Edit: To clarify - when reddit provides an official public response (of any kind) content will resume here.
Edit2: There is now an official response. We are now resuming content as usual. Thank you all for your patience, and apologies once again for dragging listentothis into the dramamill. On the plus side, the moderator's investments in popcorn company stocks are now paying excellent dividends.
Edit3: Screenshot. Don't know who leaked it, don't care. :P
