Minimum Karma levels, Account Age & CQS Levels in effect

[u/BAFUdaGreat]

All: the Mods have been inundated with hundreds of posts from accounts that have no or limited karma and comment karma, new or recent account creation and/or a low Contributor Quality Score (CQS). These accounts are mainly throwaway accounts or brand new accounts that post in subs constantly to obtain karma/CQS.

As such, the Mods are limiting the ability to post or comment in this sub to accounts that meet ALL of the following criteria: must have a !!!MINIMUM COMMENT KARMA SCORE OF of 150, NOT TOTAL KARMA-THERE'S A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2!!!; must be open and active for at least 60 days and who do NOT have a low CQS. If you have no idea what these levels or criteria are then please search online for how Reddit works- don’t ask the Mods to explain it and don’t pester the Mods either about your account.

Please DO NOT use Modmail to message the Mods and ask for your post/comment to be approved if your account does not meet the above criteria. Accounts who use Modmail to complain, criticize or attack the Mods will be banned- no exceptions so please don’t do this.

You can see your karma count on your profile page. To see how much post or comment karma you have, view the karma breakdown:

On desktop click your avatar top right, then 'profile'. If you hover over where it says karma (top right area) it should pop up with the breakdown. In app, tap your avatar top right, then tap karma. Or, tap your avatar, then 'profile', then 'about'.

UPDATE: too many people have been asking the Mods to ignore the above criteria and have their contribution approved. That will NOT happen. Some posters have even directly contacted the Mods via personal DM about their posts complaining, using rude language or even threats- that will result in an AUTOMATIC PERMABAN NO EXCEPTIONS and the account will be reported to reddit for harassment which means your account could be frozen, suspended or deleted. AGAIN: DO NOT CONTACT THE MODS VIA PERSONAL DM AT ALL

READ THE RULES READ THE RULES READ THE RULES PLEASE

REMINDER: too many people are not following the instructions above in the 3rd paragraph and are asking for their posts/comments to be approved when they don't meet the minimum criteria listed above. Read the 3rd paragraph again please and do not clog up Mod Mail with these requests.

EDIT: way too many people are AGAIN asking for approval when their account criteria does not meet the minimum standards required. The Mods may have to start reminding people more forcefully that they need to read the Rules and the Sticky posts before using Modmail. Some accounts have been banned for asking repeatedly.
