The Critera Modal is long,
overdue!
New members are baffled by minimum requirements and feel justifiably angry at subs which enforce them without giving the user the slightest clue that they exist.
Mods may not want to reveal their exact thresholds because scammers, ban evaders and hate mongers can read while spambots can scrape data. It's also inconceivable that the anti-spam algorithms would ignore accounts banging away repeatedly at a sub like a moth bouncing off a screen door trying to get to a light.
But giving no indication that posts or comments will be removed and then not providing a notification or a Automod comment simply indicating that a minimum related removal has occurred is considered unkind, unfair and pretentious by huge numbers of new users who then proceed to trash talk those subs frequently.
They question why Reddit would allow subs to have secret, hidden rules and they have an excellent point.

All that is fine and true, if the function it works properly... We have a simple filter for new users and we're getting complaints from accounts that are older than our filter saying they can't post? I don't even know who or where to complain.
