Yeah, doesn't seem like a ban was at all justified. This part stuck out to me:
I believe the best way to moderate a small community such as this in order to facilitate it’s growth is to be as hands-off as possible.
Except as it relates to meta-posts, huh? That's a strange choice for a supposedly community driven model.
All that said, I am very much in favor of some of the things you suggest (particularly dedicated threads for discussion on each new movie) and I think it would probably go a long way towards improving the real-world value of the community. I think this is particularly true as it seems unlikely that with 1.1k subscribers the community has properly filled their niche.
Do you think there is any way the mod of !moviesandtv would consider some sort of deal wherein you moderate and run this spinoff community with more structured discussion, while they link to and officially endorse the community (of course contingent on ongoing good relations)? Mentioning @Djinn
