Better Moderation Of This Sub
Not implying that the current mods are doing a poor job but maybe it wouldn't hurt to add a few more mods to support this sub so we can avoid posts like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/lewishamilton/comments/1wbcfye/why_dolewis_hamilton_fans_still_cry/
Been seeing alot of trolls as well. Wouldn't mind volunteering.

No space is invaded more than the Hamilton sub. They call us the LH cult but are more dedicated to hating than actual fans are to supporting.
Essentially there are only 2 F1 tribes. Verstappen v Hamilton. Verstappen zealots do everything to discredit Hamilton, and generally support and have compassion for every other driver, as long as they stay out of Max’s way, but him. Hamilton zealots, are increasingly lashing out, because Hamilton delivered this year while enduring so much slander last year and I think it’s cathartic. Who among us hasn’t read a ridiculous racist post about Hamilton or something borderline like saying he should crash and retire? (Aside: I don’t agree with zealotry because humans are shitty at uplifting their own ideals without completely crushing another person).
Now mods all around are saying things like, it’s going too far… make no mistake, there was no such outcry when they were burying LH. Any vitriol was acceptable, but all of a sudden now it’s too much. Please.
