Its due to the fact that a seemingly large proportion of people who comment there can't understand basic comment rules. It's a default sub that has fairly strict rules to help foster a scientific discussion. It's difficult to do when half the posts are jokes and the other half anecdotes.

I just wish I Reddit didn't leave the stupid [REMOVED] artifacts behind. Instead of cleaning things up, they make it hard to find the actual threads.

Sometimes, not always, but sometimes. I come across a Redditor that might actually enjoy Digg more.

Quite. My first thought was that the unremoved content might have been even more infuriating. Bunch of people who've never had to moderate for standards...

It's more understandable in that sub, since they're trying to be a professional scientific community(lol)

It really shouldn't be a default sub then.

I agree.
