You can bet that some redditors will respond to this by starting to mass-upvote 'policy-breaking content.' I wonder how long it will take 4Chan to start brigading over to bury Reddit's new 'automated system' in reports. After all, if you raise the noise to signal level high enough, it's damn...

I have made a post responding to this. It's here on the new thread that was made for this topic.
