View submission: Addressing Mod Harassment Concerns

The restrictions make it harder for users to create throwaway accounts to contact mods and require a verified email from a trusted domain for new accounts

So does this mean throw aways will become no more or you can pm a mod without an email?

No throwaways would likely upset TONs of advice subs

It sounds like it’s just to PM a mod.

Although for your second point: I mod a sub that highly encourages throwaways and would still absolutely love to be able to require users have a verified account to post. It takes under 5 minutes to create new email to link a new account to. Hell, I’d be thrilled if Reddit allowed them to create a throwaway linked to the same email as their main account.

If someone needs advice as a one off that very small hurdle of verifying an email is easy to accomplish. It’s the ban evading trolls creating a hundred accounts a month that would be most hindered by this, and that’s who I would want to stop.

These measures are only for PMs to mods.
