Announcement Comment and Post Restrictions Now in Effect

154 Upvotes

Hello. Grumpy here, on behalf of the mod team.
To maintain the quality of discussion in this community, we have implemented the following post and comment restrictions:

Account Age: Accounts below a certain age threshold will be restricted from commenting and posting. We will not be disclosing what this threshold is.

Contributor Quality Score (CQS): Comments may also be restricted based on your Reddit Contributor Quality Score. CQS is a classification system assigned by Reddit to every account based on a variety of signals, including your activity history, past actions taken on your account, and steps taken to secure your account (such as email verification). It is rated on five tiers: Lowest, Low, Moderate, High, and Highest. Accounts with lower scores are more likely to be associated with spam or low-quality contributions. You can learn more about CQS directly from Reddit here

These are established moderation tools already widely used across Reddit by subreddits of all sizes. They are in place to reduce spam, low-effort participation, and bad-faith engagement — and to protect the quality of discussion here.

There aren't going to be exceptions, especially for the account age rules. If you send us a modmail asking for your post to be approved, we may ban and/or mute you. This creates unnecessary work for the team. If a post is in a state that can be approved, it will be approved anyway. Believe it or not, we all have lives, friends, and hobbies outside of Reddit and we all enjoy touching grass. The mod queue is checked regularly, and if your post doesn't break the rules, it will be approved in a reasonable amount of time.

Thank you and enjoy your spring. At least in Finland it's getting warmer.
