Request: Minimum karma limits/account age on posting.
Summary: I'm not a moderator so I don't see the whole activity of the subreddit so I have no recommendations outside of adding the rules. Considering all the bots that are increasingly showing up on every public internet portal, adding karma/account age rules will make them burn through their reserve accounts they've had idling/aging and the new/fresh ones won't get in.
Thanks for listening.

Agreed. If we’re serious about this, the sub needs to have rules at the very minimum.

For the record, this sub already has the reddit automations in place for account reputation and anti harrassment, and automod for to remove content from new accounts. However, we did not have Crowd Control enabled, which demotes content from non-community members, negative karma, etc.
We do tend to allow more than we remove, as we do not intend to censor.
However, we also just added rule 4 to the sidebar: No fascism, no fascists which will help.
As with anything, you must take action on your side. The moderators cannot read through each comment individually. You have to report the comments and submissions. In fact, if multiple users report the comment/submission, Automod will remove it automatically. Report, Report, Report.

Do you think this will hinder legitimate new engagement? I'm wrestling with the "What's a good minimum karma?" question and not coming up with a fair answer.

I haven't really used this account much. This was an emergency account just in case Trump got elected and anti LGBT EOs were implemented.
