/r/pics in 2016, and a small review of 2015

Hi there readers!Thank you for subscribing to /r/pics, and for reading this postWe are one of the most active subreddits on the entire site, and are nearly the highest (damn you askreddit) in terms of subscribers!However, we are far from perfect. Our subreddit still has a lot of places to grow, and there are many things we have learned as moderators here.2016We are a bit into 2016, but are talking a lot on ways to improveNew moderatorsThank you for everyone who applied. We just finished our first round of going through the applications, and you can expect new moderators to be added around the start of March. Going through and reviewing all the applications take us a while, so thank you for your patience! Chances are, we will not contact you if you are not accepted, but thank you for applying!Keep an eye out, and again, I expect to add the new mods around March 1st.FlairWe have ben quickly adding more and more flairs to make is easier for users to filter out what they don't want to see. We have some more ideas for this, and expect it to be expanded in the future! We always like suggestions, so feel free to send us a modmail!On desktop, the easiest way to do this is with RES. On mobile, it depends on your client, check the subreddit for your mobile client.New rulesThis is the slow front, but we are working on it. Just recently, we have added a "no photoshop requests" rule to rule 5, and we have some more ideas we are excited to show you in 2016.2015Now, I did want to share some cool data about our year in 2015 with you.In 2015, we had about 850 MILLION pageviews! We grew to 10,000,000 subscribers. We are getting about 100,000 pageviews every hour. That's insane.Moderator actionsNow, unfortunately I wasn't able to keep consistant data on our moderator actions in 2015. The log only goes so far back :(Instead, I will share with you some information about our moderations from January 2016 - February 2016, jus so you get an idea of what we are doing!In January 2016, we:Made a total of 34,456 moderator actions.
