There is no need to bring reddit intra-site politics here. I doubt readers could care less about SJW vs anti-SJW factions on another site. Furthermore, the actions of certain moderators have nothing to do with this staffing announcement, so you are doubly off-topic. It would make me happy at least if we could contain reddit politics to reddit itself.

Readers already pointed out here lack of IP banning tools as one of the technical challenges Reddit is facing. I wanted to bring up the context of such demands.

Reddit's response to the community woes has been "we are building technology to respond to these concerns.

The hiring of a new CTO is likely designed to address these concerns.

So airing these concerns here seems pretty on topic to me.
