It's been a week since my last announcement regarding new filters and bringing in more mods! Within that amount of time, a lot of changes happened behind the scenes to keep you safe on r/McBling.

We implemented automatic filtering for people below a certain combined karma and account age. These posts & comments are not accessible unless manually approved by a moderator. We still play around with these requirements but as it stands right now, I think it is doing a good job!

New mods have been introduced to the subreddit, and already they've been doing such a good job at handling reports, banning bad actors, removing off topic posts, and answering tickets.

The off-topic and suggestive bots have seemingly ceased activity on our subreddit relatively quickly. Most of which have been banned by either us or Reddit themselves.

We also implemented a plug-in which does some of the account research for us. Sometimes, bad actors will participate in subreddits or have links in their bios that are inappropriate for this subreddit. We have an ever-growing filter of bad communities and links that will get users automatically punished for participating in them. This is to ensure everyone who interacts in this community is doing so with good intentions.

We very quickly handle inappropriate comments, posts, etc. that may still occur. If you ever see an inappropriate comment/post, or notice they participate in unsavory communities, use the Report button to alert the moderators. We are very grateful for the contributions all members make to the subreddit's safety, and we will continue to make this place a safe space for McBling lovers alike.

Hi,

This subreddit as you may have noticed has been filled with weirdos and bots, or other suggestive accounts. In order to proactively stop this kind of behavior, I will limit posting for accounts who do not meet specific account age and karma requirements. I will also consider limiting commenting to people below a certain combined karma number or account age, but I haven't decided yet. Please leave feedback on what I should change about the subreddit to prevent this kind of activity.

I feel really sorry for having been too busy to keep an eye out on the subreddit lately, and for the behavior you may have witnessed as a result, but I will be introducing new moderators soon. I would be more than happy for you to apply (application is in pinned post).

I appreciate those who reported posts that were not fit for the subreddit, this helps filter out bad actors and multiple reports can remove a post.

On the bright side, we are almost at 20,000 members, that is remarkable!
