They're asking for how long an account an account must exist for in order to remove the classification.

How new is a new account please? Karma count, time since creation, time since first post or comment, a combination?

Awesome way to discourage Reddit newbies when they’re trying out the site. Half the default subs will probably have this tool on permanently, and that’s exactly where new users will comment first.

How about just "new user to this sub"?

Most mods already have automod rules to filter out brand-new accounts.

That seems less useful than having it based on sub.

I can see having a site-wide mechanism to handle new reddit accounts, but mods need to manage brigading from one sub to another, or from a front page post gone 'viral'. Is there a plan to add this in the future?

So you're literally going to discourage people to participate in subreddits...

wow. I hope you have money for what you're doing, because data collection is going to drop dramatically after that - users aren't going to leave, but new users certainly are, after seeing that they default existence mode is shadowban...
