There's a lot of dissonance between: > It's currently in a renewed and stronger Eternal September. >The top voted comments on threads about censorship are mostly 1 to 3 months old users.

and

>Sure, a lot of questionable/creepy subreddits shouldn't be there. But where's the line? And who draws it?

The way to deal with a dilution of community quality is communicate and enforce stricter standards. Ban more stuff. Not because of a moral panic, but because the trolls, spammers, pornographers, etc.. can trash your site with force disproportionate to their numbers. You can't fight Eternal September unless you lay down some serious boundaries.
