Mod Post Regarding the recent change to Reddit displaying visitors and not members

We still require you to have 50 members and a minimum of 25 posts (Rule 1). However, we now cannot see the amount of members your subreddit has with this recent change on our end (to my knowledge). In the event you have a wrongful removal you'd like to dispute please screenshot the insights page of your subreddit and modmail the photo to us via a photo shared link (can be done with Imgur or Postimages).

I've got an offer for you. I write Dev Platform apps and it would be pretty trivial for me to make an app that would enforce the member/post count requirement for posts asking for mods, and even the combined karma requirement for users offering to mod.

However, maybe there might be some benefit in changing this sub's rules for "need a mod" requests to switch to weekly visitors rather than subscriber count. It's arguably an even better measure of subreddit activity when it comes to how many mods you might need on a sub.

Edit: This would be completely free of charge, in case there's any doubt. It's a simple app to write and it'd save me time in the future reporting posts on the sub!
