Lately, I’ve recognized many posts from very new accounts here, usually younger than a day. They post a couple of news articles and are never to be seen again.
I’ve checked this communitiy’s modlog and many new accounts get banned relatively quickly. Their behaviour is eerily similar, even their profile pictures have similar styles, so it seems to be the same origin.
Out of curiosity, is there some lore I missed?
More seriously, I think we users in this community maybe should be more conscious about this and stop interacting with posts from these profiles.
Dunno if my post makes any sense, it’s just something weird I noticed and wanted to say something about.
For now.
Can we put up rules like accounts must first be x amount of days old with comments and maybe some upvotes or something before they can start posting articles?
They are basically already being banned (by the Feddit.org admins) as soon as they start posting. An additional unenforcable rule wouldn’t make a difference.
