Hi Everyone,
We have updated our participation requirements in an effort to combat trolls, misinformation accounts, ban evaders, and spam bots. The new requirements are:
- Your reddit account must be email-verified
- Your account must be at least 3 months old
- You must have at least 300 combined link/comment karma
Most of these requirements are not new. /r/news has used karma and account age requirements for years, and recently increased the threshold for those because of the number of bad faith accounts making it through our parameters. With the addition of email-verification, we’ve been able to reduce the account age and karma requirements in order to allow legitimate users to interact on the sub more quickly.
If you’ve noticed that your comments are not showing up, take a moment to check your trophy case for this icon. If it’s not there, then you’ll need to verify your account by going to your preferences and following the instructions from there.
