[Mod Post] Three Million AskRedditors!

This announcement is to celebrate the number of AskReddit subscribers going over three million!

The moderators would like to thank you all for making this such a fantastic community, keep up the good work!

We'd like to take this opportunity to raise one issue. This is AskReddit, not Ask A Small Section of Reddit. We'd like to see less of the "obscure job, tell me something?" posts, and we'd like posts specifically directed to men or women to use /r/askmen or /r/askwomen as appropriate. We'd like to give everyone the chance to participate in posts and don't like that at least 50% of people are instantly excluded. No doubt you'll let us know what you think of this.

Thanks for reading and thanks for redditing. AskReddit is all the better for you being here.

Your ever loving mods
