/r/pics March 2016 moderation report - Pics Mods: The New Gods? Science Says: "Yes!"

Hi everyoneSorry about the title, /u/BritishEnglishPolice INSISTED on it.Let's talk about the month of April for pics. Not too much actually changed this month, but we had some foundations worked out which will better help us make changes in the future.Verified Photographer flair!Our largest change in the month of March, we added a new process and flair for people to become verified on /r/pics - Verification allows photographers and artists to post directly from their site (assuming they follow reddit spam guidelines). With this, we hope to urge photographers to share their work with /r/pics, as well as show our subscribers some of the best! If you are interested in this flair, please read more in the sticky below this one!Automod refreshOur automod config got a bit smarter. Nothing much to say here, but hopefully less false positives and better spam stoppingNew mods - Unlimited powerAfter working with our new moderators, all have been "promoted" to a full moderator. Each even got their own banhammer! We didn't need to share this time!Continued work on flairAgain, not too much happened public facing in the month of March, but we did manage to work a bit more on our flair, and there should be more to say about this in the upcoming months.We expect to have one new rule addition out in the month of April, with more coming soon.Now let's get to the part everyone cares about:StatsIn March 2016 we:Made 42680 moderator actions (Up about 3000 from last month)Removed a total of 14709 (Up only 300 or so from last month)Removed a total of 8276 commentsBanned a total of 604 people (This includes temporary and permanent bans)Manually unbanned 41 people.
