More specifically, it was worried about moderation, and the signup policy was their preferred way to handle that. If moderation tools get better, then the signup policy could be relaxed on their end.

I don’t really understand OP’s choice, but it’s theirs to make, not mine. I personally just sub to communities I’m interested in and ignore the rest, and that seems to work pretty well.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game.
