I have a really healthy RES filter list that makes reddit better for me.

I browse /r/all all the time with this filter on and get good content. Reddit is hell without it. I wish though that I could ban rage comics all together.

Another thing that would make reddit better would be to allow karma growth on self posts. If you id, there would be less imagifying of text for posting to IMGUR so the karma counts.

Some times though, it helps to filter out imgur.com completely and you get a nice view...
