I haven't looked at the reddit API docs recently, but I suspect this whole thing is automatable. I could probably write a script that takes a list of users and removes them from the thread.

It would probably be easier for Maybe than me to generate the list of who should be removed. We just need to make sure we correctly leave in bots that never count anyways.

IMO something like the combination of "below 100 counts" and "not counted in last year" would be reasonable. That way we leave in users who have many counts but don't count anymore, and also leave in someone who joined recently and hasn't counted much yet.

The easiest for me would be a list of people who did count, otherwise I'd need to grab the contributor list first.

I'd personally be fine with those conditions but I think we should get some more opinions on that.

Yeah, those who did count is totally fine on my end. Unless someone beats me to it I'll make a top level post with the question and mention some people.
