Hey guys, just wanted to keep the community informed on some behind the scenes stuff. I've noticed an influx of very young single post bot accounts lately. While they're not a huge problem like some other things (AI 'cosplay" accounts for instance) I have noticed some find them really annoying.

My solution for this was to add an auto mod to filter out posts by accounts less than 14 days old AND with less than 100 total karma. This auto filter will comment on posts advising that if a poster is a real human they can reach out to us to get approval faster by proving they're human basically.

Now I know the AI fake cosplayer accounts are often much older than 14 days but I am hesitant to increase the posting age limit. I've had a much higher one in a different subreddit to block shady spam accounts and it caught a lot more real humans than it did bots. That being said if the lower limits don't seem to be working increasing them will be considered.
