R/Minneapolis mod. The past year has been interesting.
Current issue: We're attempting to run daily discussion threads on the Chauvin trial because that is what our community wants. Obviously we're bombarded with trolls.
Every day 4Chan links to our threads. Simply making this post is going to paint a target on me.
We've installed karma and account age limitations, cranked Crowd Control all the way up, and have our full team on hand (during working hours mind you) to remove comments and ban the bad actors. We've taken a strong-armed approach; pretty much anyone who doesn't have a history in our sub or any related sister sub is banned until the trial is over.
The solution to this problem sure seems simple. Allow Automod to filter sub specific karma. We know that reddit does this
because they've told us. When I've asked the admins if this will be rolled out I've yet to receive a response.
This situation is frustrating, so any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Mostly I just want to hear from the admins if they have any plans for sub specific karma filtering in automod. The past year would have been a lot less stressful with it and I imagine that is applicable to all subs that find themselves in the troll's crosshairs.
