Hey /r/netsec,

I'm thrilled to bring some exciting news to you all today. We've expanded our moderation team to include a group of passionate information security professionals who are dedicated to helping /r/netsec continue to serve as your go-to resource for high-quality, technical security content.

Please join me in extending a warm welcome to our new moderators:

• /u/rejuicekeve
• /u/netsec_burn
• /u/ustayready
• /u/qwerty0x41
• /u/infinitelogins
• /u/Gallus
• /u/mk3s
• /u/jsonpile
• /u/poltess0
• /u/execveat

All of these folks have a shared passion for information security, and a shared vision for /r/netsec as a curated, community-sourced aggregator for top-tier security content and research. We're all here to help cut through the noise of fear-mongering and low quality clickbait, and stick to our roots by rewarding the folks who create high-quality original content.

Our new moderators will be working closely with the existing team to uphold and enforce our content guidelines. We believe in open discussion and collaboration, and any disagreements about content removal, spam decisions, bans, or user-facing activity will be handled through conversation with the mod team.

I am incredibly excited for this new chapter in /r/netsec, and I am grateful to each of you for making this community what it is. Let's continue to build a thriving and engaging space for high-quality, technical security discourse together.
