According to the uncredited post, "We've been accused of being "ad hoc," "disorganized," "secretive," and doing things "on the cheap." This couldn't be further from the truth....Throughout 2018, we've introduced more transparency into our policies and provided data on how we enforce them.

Are any of those changes enough to turn the narrative around next year? We'll find out soon enough.
