you're very welcome.

I'm open to tweaking it, but we try to balance between keeping trolls at bay and "new account makes one comment that eats two downvotes and suddenly can't post anymore"

We like to err on the side of "let people post and users will report the bad stuff"

There also more filters at play (crowd control for community karma etc) and reddit has introduced a new user "contributor quality score" automod setting that I haven't had a chance to test out yet.

we do have a karma filter. setting that to a positive amount is a bit of a catch-22 because one single downvote will trigger auto removals.

the second one is not something automod is capable of.

This account is 7 months old. Our karma filter could be higher, but we do have new account / karma limits in place.

How strict would you like the filters?

you can help by using the report button

lol

We appreciate you reporting them, it helps us a ton.

Also as a general note, please exercise extreme caution sending random folks money on the internet

We've been watching at KJ's on Olive - not that far up the hill

I'll try and get a few people out for game 6 Saturday, DM me if you're around

it's kinda their whole thing

If you're not gonna thank them at least give a lil' wave of acknowledgement

We need a `tipping` post flair

damn I kinda wish reddit awards were still a thing

nope

Declaring that you wish for others to be harmed (especially in a violent way) is, in fact, a rule violation.

sometimes it's fun to argue

Read the link with text from the original post. This isn't the win you think it is.

The issue is not "deleting stories", the issue is that everyone who posts nonstop about crime seems to have an issue following reddiquette and our rules regarding post titles and editorialization outside of comments.

These are rules as old as reddit, and I'm not going to dive into why I think this isn't just a coincidence, but when legit news articles get removed this is usually the reason why .

Edit to clarify:

I'm not specifically referring to this user posting continuously, I'm referring to the fact that almost always "news posts about crime" that get removed - are removed because of breaking this rule, not because of some hidden agenda.

I'll eat my karma but I'm adding the original post text here, bolded context mine, which we deemed a violation of reddit's rules against inciting or glorifying violence, as well as our rule "Be Good":

So tired of this. What do we do as a community to end this garbage, right here and right now, besides slamming our cars in full reverse on these clowns?

From the original post text that was removed, just so everyone is aware why it was removed:

So tired of this. What do we do as a community to end this garbage, right here and right now, besides slamming our cars in full reverse on these clowns?

This is absolutely in violation of our rules.

aw, thank you I didn't even realize

Pinning this because I like the sassy discussion and honestly it's time we had this talk.

Keep in mind for every post you see we've already removed 2-3 duplicates. We're also looking for solutions.

BTW if you wanna help us overhaul the wiki (I think it'll help) hit me up or whatever

it actually goes both ways

Sorry Tony, our subreddit does have rules against self-promotion.

The mods (at least I) admire you and appreciate what you do - but out of fairness to everyone we restrict users from advertising for their own businesses.

I'll leave this post up so folks can find your subreddit; I'm also starting a conversation with the mod team (and our discord) about creating a space for self-promotional type posts from local businesses or groups - whether through a weekly reddit post or forum channel on discord.

We want our users to find cool local stuff but we also want to protect them from advertising and spam, which is the reason for one of our longest-standing rules.
