Updated Automod for Increased Repost and AI Karma Farm Bots | How moderation works?

Recently, there has been a surge in karma-farming bots—whether they are reposting old, popular content or flooding posts with comments—and unfortunately, I have started seeing them frequently in the subreddit. Although I try to delete the ones I spot or that are reported as quickly as possible, I inevitably miss some. Therefore, I would like to explain the changes I’ve made to AutoMod and how the moderation system operates.

First, the combined karma threshold (the sum of post and comment karma) has been raised to 10. If this doesn't resolve the bot issue, it may be increased to 20 in the future. So, what does this mean? If your karma is below 10, your post or comment will be sent to the "mod queue" for approval, and all moderators will receive a notification. Then, whichever moderators are active will approve your post or comment as soon as possible. There is no need to send a modmail regarding posts and comments removed due to karma thresholds, and doing so will not help you get approved any faster. Feel free to use modmail for any other questions or issues.

I’ve also made some minor improvements to the modmail code, though you might still encounter occasional, minor AutoMod errors. I hope we can succeed in keeping bots and AI out of the subreddit. Please don't forget to report any posts or comments you suspect are from bots to both Reddit and us!

(Karma bots generally fall into two categories: the first type spams comments under posts that are clearly AI-generated. The second type consists of accounts—often just 1–10 days old—that post in completely unrelated subreddits and have disproportionately high karma for their age, usually by reposting popular posts from those subreddits.)

These 3 accounts keeps trying to join my private server

Whitelist is enabled on the server, but just in case, I banned these users too. What is their purpose, and why do they persistently try to access my server every day?

I think she will use herself as bait, and she is intentionally not checkmating her opponent (chess theory)

Normally, it was Black's turn to move in this position. If Black moves the rook away to save it, they get checkmated; if they don't save it, they fall too far behind and lose the game anyway—which is why Black had resigned in this position.

However, in the PV, it is White's turn again, and instead of capturing the rook, Tsaritsa takes the pawn in front of it, effectively offering herself up as bait in front of the rook and pawn. I don't know the reason, but I suspect Tsaritsa isn't aiming for a checkmate—she has a different objective.

I would like to hear your thoughts

IMPORTANT COMMUNITY POLL! Should we move to new subreddit? (Read desc. please)

We're in talks with the owner of the r/CapitanoMains subreddit and considering a "merge" with the existing CapitanoMains Discord server.

We've discussed the necessary details with the founder and decided that the Discord server is definitely suitable for our community, so we've decided to accept this partnership request. So what now?

As the moderator team, we're considering freezing r/CapitanoMainsGI (old posts and comments will stay and will be available to everyone) and we will be moving to the r/CapitanoMains subreddit. The theme, roles, flairs, and rules will remain exactly the same! We'll only be changing the name. Also, since our communities will be merging with Discord, we can be a larger and more fun community!

Why do we want this change? Because Shneznaya is coming and Capitano is coming soon too! And we don't want people to experience confusion and split into two different communities when searching for the CapitanoMains subreddit/community. Therefore, we think using the shorter and more concise r/CapitanoMains subreddit name will be healthier.

As I said, all these comments and posts will remain; we'll just freeze the subreddit and make a slight name change for easier access. If we decide not to move the subreddit, the communities will still merge, but we'll continue with this subreddit. That will be the only difference.

Also write your toughts and ideas in comments please! We really need your help in this. I want to move with our community.
