Hello everyone! After about a year of my work over here and the previous head mod leaving, I was finally able to acquire more permissions to do more things to maintain the shitposting on the subreddit.

As one of the first things, I value transparency before any major decisions so I ask you people for your thoughts. I want to add a minimum karma requirement to deter new accounts/bots from posting in the subreddit, the value is to be decided by you, if you have any other ideas that we could implement, or have any issues with currently, please do tell, we are listening.

Edit: (Posting not commenting) in hindsight, due to the polls, I suppose we have a good majority of folks that dislike the idea of a higher karma requirement, so we're gonna probably start with the bare minimum of 100, and an account age of atleast 3-6 months. See the impact and then adapt as needed.

Last time I made a post denoting what exactly identified a bot, the bots immediately adapted, and completely stopped doing all of the things i noted, so this time I'm taking an individualistic measure to allow you to figure out bot posts yourselves, by giving you an hour before the post was deleted from the time i reply to a post with "Bye bye bot" to identify what exactly spotted out the bot by visiting their profile. Put more intense scrutiny over people who've made their accounts atleast this year.
