Several days ago I posted this thread.

Due to the efforts of all of you and the incredible feedback provided we've discovered a new way to deal with things and have started a push to do so. I don't think we can ever solve the brigading problem but I am optimistic we can improve, immensely, in this category.

Thank you rcon! We will do our best with what you all have given us.

After a few weeks of toying with what we've learned (Yes, I'm being intentionally vague!) we will do another "State of the subreddit" and pivot the sub based on what you all think. In the interim please keep reporting the brigaders :) It's helping. Seriously.
