#Current situation
Recently, we have witnessed a huge amount of spam posts from throwaway accounts. These accounts usually post threads which are related to either scams, malwares, phishing or even attempts to convince the community to buy some coin/token (AKA "Shilling").
#Problem
The constant presence of such accounts in here not only lowers the standards of the sub, but also ensues a dreadful experience for those who are trying to find good content. Not to mention that some members can actually fall for these mischievous attempts.
#Solution
To mitigate abuse from these accounts, I suggest the following requirements for users to publish in r/ethtrader:
• For comments: [Required Account Age: 30 days] [Required Account Karma: 50]
• For posts: [Required Account Age: 60 days] [Required Account Karma: 100]
These requirements can be bypassed if the user buys the sub's special membership.
In case the accounts have these requirements and start contributing to the sub, they become automatically eligible for the succeeding distribution.
If this passes, the effects of previous polls related to sub participation and distribution will no longer be applied.
I have complete confidence that this measure will consequently relieve a lot of unnecessary work from the mods. I also believe this proposal will elevate the standards of the sub, while gaining new, genuine and committed contributors.
The choices are:
[YES] Implement the new rule for sub participation
[NO] Keep it as it is
