I've talked to MK in person about this, beatingwomen came up specifically, and came up here on Hubski when someone posted some battered women content. I asked MK to make a post about how it was handled at the time but he hasn't.

I'm not surprised he hasn't posted a history of moderating hubski yet, he is a busy man with hubski being far from his most important life activity, but I would still like to hear about how he has and how he plans to deal with offensive content.

I fear Hubski becoming too popular. The community as it stands seems to know each other enough that a conversation happens with a degree of context that informs the discussion, integrating the inflow of new people pretty effectively.

I don't know how a big influx of peopel would effect hubski, but I'm afraid of it happening. That being said I think MK would probably be interested in seeing what happened if it did.

    to make a post about how it was handled at the time but he hasn't.

I think I can shed some light on that for you as I was the OP of the #beatingwomen posts. Basically I came here and posted just to see if i could and mk sent me an email explaining why he removed my post. I didn't cause a fuss because in the day or two that it took him to realize I was posting I actually lurked and realized this is a good site. I decided to call off my circle of friends and instituted a hands off trolling policy for hubski. Unless they want to get kicked out of my subreddits on reddit, they will leave hubski alone.
