I mod a subreddit with over 100K users. It's difficult to control trolls and others... At the same time I have petitioned to Yishan directly several times to block /r/picsofdeadkids to no avail. I use RES to heavily filter out the content I don't want to see. And while that works wonderfully, I am often turning off the filter as well just to see what is on /r/all... It is more successful to self-temper and manage your own experience on reddit than to try and change reddit.

Maybe this money will add the ability to ignore people, or better, ignore entire groups of people pre-emptively. There are some subreddits I don't want anything to do with, nor the scum that dribble out of them.
