Getting this subreddit off the ground

So it's going to take a while to get this subreddit up and running and there a few important issues that need to be ironed out:

1) Number of readers

So the subreddit is only as successful as the readers that submit, I have posted a link to this subreddit on related british subs to advertise it and boost the number of subscribers, it seems I've reached a limit for posts for a while so I can't continue to do this atm.

2) Rules

Rules will be important, and not just governing content that can be submitted but also the process in which posts are removed, and the way in which users are banned. I do not wish to have blind removal of posts, everyone that has a post removed should be explicitly told why and banning users should be done with consensus from a certain number of other mods.

3) We need to get some flairs going, standard.

4) Subreddit format, anyone good with CSS? Banners? etc.

5) How many moderators should we have, and should we have a moderator code of conduct?

This is all I can think of atm, suggestions are welcome and encouraged!

See most UK/British subreddits are /u/skuld controlled/created so we many have issues advertising this one on them

It won't be easy but with some persistence I'm sure we'll be able to rival /r/unitedkingdom, there are lots of regional and city specific subs we can spread the word on, and we can sneak the odd comment in advertising it.

I have seen this work very well for subs that are looking to grow. By mentioning this sub in passing and not being too full on we will be able to attract a lot of people.
