I need better moderator tools and then I'll move my whole community

Mod tools only became necessary when communities became larger. I'm sure you'll be fine with what's available when most communities start off small. Hell the Star wars prequel/sequel memes subs actually combined into one sub to keep their communities big enough to survive off Reddit and they're doing just fine.

I appreciate your optimism, but I've run the numbers and that's always a sticking point. It might be a tenth of the subscribers that move over, but it'll be a 20th of the number of mods that move over. And I moderate a rowdy bunch!
