one thing we’re exploring is whether we can surface things like post type restrictions and karma requirements earlier in the posting process—so while you’re selecting a community to post to we’ll let you know if you don’t have enough karma

This isn't transparency. Seems like it would be easier to just see the rules.

Easier for spammers to adjust their techniques if they can see the exact rules.

IMO it is transparency. This specific karma requirement simply doesn't get shown, leading to a LOT of confusion with users. Having the user know a good way to see if they're above that threshold would be a good step towards a good destination.

Reddit's transparency system is about 50% what it needs to be imo. There's SO many ways Reddit could increase their transparency, moderation and user safety, as well as additional ways to "moderate the moderators" and help keep communities healthy.
