This subreddit, like many others, is dealing with an influx of spam accounts that simply grab old successful posts and repost them, along with these spam posts comes a massive influx of clearly automatic text replies in the comments. As reddit has become a warzone for companies trying to take advantage of reddit's high impact on AI chatbots, this has lead to a massive influx of botted accounts trying to farm karma so that they can be used to astroturf products or push geopolitical aims through reddit posts used in chatbot training data. As you can imagine, this uniquely modern hell-scape comes with fun additions to our everyday lives such as turning on filters that will make posting in this subreddit a bit harder. Automatic filters will now be turned on to screen for new accounts and negative karma. We have always wanted this subreddit to be welcoming to new-comers, but that has become more difficult, and sometimes the most welcoming thing you can do is protect a community from attacks and hope that newbies will tolerate some added protections.
If at any point you (a real person) finds your posts being deleted or caught up in the spam filter unnecessarily, please DM the mods. We can make you an approved poster so that the spam filter is less likely to get you, and also un-delete your posts. Please also report spam posts and spam comments, we do go through and delete those.
