> I really don't get how you are taking that from what I said.
It seemed to me that you were suggesting that shedding users is bad for Reddit. I think shedding a very small select percentage of the users could be a huge benefit for the site.
Remove some of the worst who don't add anything positive to the site and make an example out of them. Draw the line in the sand clear and bold.
That will get rid of some of the worst elements, and encourage others to behave better. I'm sure you'll lose people at first but in the long run I think it would benefit the site and its growth.
