I think that should really be up to subreddits, but if you don't want to allow such an option to match on anything as young as 30 minutes, then you could simply limit the age parameters to `days`, `weeks`, `months`, and `years`.
Having this functionality built into /u/IndexBot has caught a lot of spam on older submissions for us on /r/personalfinance, but writing a custom moderation bot is something that's not in the reach of most subreddits. (We also have it `filter` matches so they can be reviewed before being seen since scammers are common, but doing that via a custom bot is extraordinarily difficult because the `filter` action is only available to AutoModerator so some crazy hacks are required to `filter` from a custom bot, especially on comments.)

You could even get rid of `days` if you really wanted to though I think it would be handy to watch for bad actors coming in over a day old thread. I'd personally probably set it to 3 days or so. But yeah anything under 24 hours probably shouldn't be a thing mods should have, I get that. But I'd love to know if someone is coming in even a month later.
Hell, I get reports on someone coming in to talk shit to a user a week later that got caught from another AM rule or was reported by the user that was attacked. Knowing more about people coming in as bad actors in old threads that are less than 6 months old would be handy.
