u/lift_ticket83 What Major says is exactly my worry. We send users with low karma a nice message that their post/comment is held for manual approval because they are new to reddit and/or the subreddit.
We do that exactly because we have new users post for help and we don't want to send them out to go hunt karma before being able to get help but we also need to protect our subreddit from bad eggs.
If this change means I have to overhaul all my automod rules to try to combat this, I won't be a happy camper.

Yeah, and while the intent seems to be helping new users, it will only show them more places where they can't build karma as new users, even if that's not true.
