New mod of /t/nocontext here! Just read this, and have begun removing reference comments. I believe the previous mod thought it would help people find the sub and help people laugh a bit, but I absolutely understand where you're coming from. It's officially against the rules to reference comment as of today, i'm sorry that happened.
Well hey, we're not mad at you for existing or anything! It's just the attitude of "subreddits as hashtags," which adds little-to-nothing to the discussion and really just kind of bogs down the comments, encouraging "reddit-isms" that don't belong here.
That's why taking time to understand the environment is important rather than wanting to jump in and take over tribes just to be a mod. I'm sure all the reddit refugees will need to make adjustments as this site is not a reddit replacement but has its own culture and expectations.
Although with that said, I wasn't the mod when this happened. I began being a mod this morning, when the previous owner of the tribe resigned. I intend to take this slow for those very reasons. :)

Absolutely! I totally get that, I'm glad that it was addressed this early on, so that that way we can keep this site better than the old one! :)
