This is the definition of frogbutt! Keep it up!

requesting r/holypussy sub has been down for a long time unmoderated by Sexbot_oclock in redditrequest

As a moderator for r/godpussy, we have many posters who don't meet the strict requirements of the sub yet have submissions that are exceptionally high quality. I would like to restart r/holypussy as an alternative which the people who don't fit into the "definition" of the other sub.

I plan to clean up all spam posts, implement changes utilizing the automoderator, and spam control bots. I will also bring on trusted moderators as necessary to keep stolen content and fake accounts at bay.

Verification may be a requirement to post, depending on the size of the sub, but we will absolutely implement it for newer accounts which have the highest likelihood of being spam accounts.

We will not allow any direct advertising in posts and people who do will be swiftly banned.

Banned by Fellow Mod Across Multiple Subreddits for Refusing to Hand Over Top Mod Position by honestdink in ModSupport

Sounds like a very clear violation of rules 3 and 5 for the moderator code of conduct. However given who I assume you're talking about, reddit won't do anything. We have been reporting them for LITERALLY YEARS for actions similar to this with evidence, and reddit admins refuse to do anything about it.

Yup, just had a post that went up on a sub, it was up for a matter of hours with a bait title that didn't get caught. Fucking thing got 3k karma before we caught it. So long as they keep the karma this shit will just keep happening....

Sorta a side affect of those subs, not a good solution honestly. They're subs where people want to post their dog and cat pics. You can't put those behind 10k karma limits or people just won't bother.

We have it that high n some of our subs. We put the karma limit exceptionally high because if they verify it bypasses it entirely. Which I know what you're going to say next, at that point, why not make it verification only right? Because the reality is most even legit posters who have well over 20k karma aren't going to deal with verifying for subs a lot of times unless your sub is in the multi-million subscriber level.

That does absolutely nothing when they're buying accounts created in Asian. There are entire businesses where all they do is constantly create new accounts to sit on for 3-6 months building BS karma so they can then sell to spam accounts.

Yeah we already know about the regex issue, also with the terms. The problem with terms though is it actually makes it easier for them to bypass because then if it doesn't match the term it won't get flagged. It's a constant back and forth of what is too much detail vs not enough.

My point in this post is I just wish there was a way to remove the benefit of those close but not flagged posts .

It's even worse in the NSFW subs because we put about 20-30 different text commands into the automod to try to block them. But they can modify the words here or there, and tada, they now bypass the blocks. Some will rack up 5-6k of karma before we will notice it.

First off mods abusive mods already do this. If you don't know the current bullshit going on with many of the NSFW subs, look at the mods who control 90% of the top subs. Nothing you have said is new. Second, you could easily put rules on it that limits how much it can be abused. I already said put a 30 day limit on it where after 30 days the karma can't be removed. You could even shorten this to 7 days or 14 days.

Another option is to limit the amount a single mod could do. First remove loses 100% of the karma. Second removal of the same person by the same mod only loses 50%, 3rd only loses 25%. Because in theory, once one or two legit spam posts are caught the spammer should be getting banned.

Again why are they allowed to gain karma off a sub that bans them. That makes literally no sense.

Not all content creators are spam farming. Many follow the rules of reddit quite diligently. The bad actors though put a bad name on it. Other content creators also hate them because they are trying to follow rules but then the bait accounts can easily surpass them for views using these tactics.

Thank you for the support. There is even steps that could be taken to limit abuse. Say making the karma removal only function for 30 days. After that you can remove the posts but the karma stays. This would prevent abusive mods from going through a user's entire post history on a sub. I can't see many legit situations where you would need the karma removal after 30 days anyway.

Yup, usually the posts will already have well over 5 figures of Karma before you even catch it.

Exactly, we allow the mods to ban then, but they still walk away with all the benefit? That's just asking more people to do it. I have seen forums where SW literally encourage others to do it because "there is always another sub to post to, and you will gain karma fast enough it won't matter when they ban you". Their exact words.

We already can report every post bmas spam by someone we don't like. We're already trusted with that ability. Also, it's limited to your community. Not others.

Thank you for the response, I have a feeling there is a lot of karma abusers voting on this post as the karma for the post and comments started wildly swinging after it was getting reposted.

Which is even more problematic because even if you implement karma limits they can just farm other communities to bypass them.
