When I set up the automod to save us all the hassle in dealing with the constant trolls, I didn't really know what I was doing. There is a ton of documentation to read through. It all works like a programming language, and thats not exactly my field of expertise. I had it set to trigger off post karma, because all of these trolls coming in had 1 post karma on these throwaway accounts. I found how to set it up to trigger removals on combined karma, so a lot more people will be able to comment like normal now. Please...please stop messaging us so much. I know this has been a pain in the ass, but we have lives and are just trying to keep as many people happy as we can.
The new trigger is 1000 combined karma.
Far out, thanks for the explanation, and I'm impressed how you took responsibility for it. Serious respect!!
This mod shit has been a real learning process for u/penguin_jones ,u/nobody1701d and myself. Thanks for everyone's patience throughout these challenges and changes. We love yall and want as many people as possible to participate in the conversation (as long as you aren't a complete dick about it) we cool.
I wonder if your new scheme will work given that bots post random comments in addition to their vitriol. If it’s now combined, bots will be free to post again
I'm not too worried about that, to be honest. When I was first setting the automod up, I went back through a ton of the accounts we have banned, and all these trolls would get banned on their main account, then were coming in with throwaways that had 1 post karma, and either 0 or negative comment karma. This should deal with the vast majority of them.
Si tu dis…
True, we're a reactionary species. Once they are thwarted in the heat of the moment, they move onto someone else to freak out on, lol. Keep up the good work, MODS. You're appreciated for doing a thankless job.
Hush now. Let's have one nice day.
Ok, does that mean that I can post and not get the dreaded "You don't have the proper amount of Karma to talk smack on Greg Abbott"? All on a sub titled FUCKGregAbbott?
Karma is on sale for 50% off on Temu
But it comes with a 1000% tariff nowadays
Thank you for ALL you do!
1009 karma is great!
Awesome thank you!!!
I've had so many things to say about Wheelzebub that I haven't been able to before due to the post karma blocker. I feel so free
Thanks

Read the sticky post under the subreddit description for more details.
TL;DR: you need 100 post karma or 1000 comment karma. See your current karma in your profile.
