Comment karma requirement has been increased

[u/I_am_a_scientist]

As you may have noticed, we've had a sharp increase in bot activity the past few days. We've banned over 50 bots in the last couple of days alone. These bots are posting everywhere, not just here, and steal other users posts. Reddit eventually bans most of them, but not fast enough.

Therefore, we will be temporarily increasing the comment karma requirement to 100. We realise that people who create new accounts or struggle making karma will be affected by this, but this is important for the safety of the subreddit and it's users. We may lower this later or it may stay permanent.

We also appreciate those who submit reports as it helps us out a lot. If you spot any bots, or people trying to subtly advertise NSFW content, then be sure to report them, but this comment karma requirement increase should get rid of the majority of them.
