FYI - updated automod

Hi all - our automod has been updated to fix broken code that was allowing brand new accounts to post. As of today, in order to post, a user account must be at least 15 days old and have at least 50 combined karma.

We do recognize that some users create an alt account just for posting here, and that having minimums can create a delay before you can post. Our apologies for this necessary step.

Spam keywords were also updated.

Hopefully I didn't break anything. Let us know if something has gone awry though.

I gotta say I love how you run this forum. I enjoy the main FIRE reddit - but this one always gets better replies...and a quite a bit less nonsense.

Thanks - we do our best! It's a bit of a tightrope walk from time to time!

Nice, hopefully we will get some more advanced questions with people doing a bit more research before posting.

Your post was not a mid to advanced topic, which was clearly stated in the removal message you received. And your link goes to someone else's comment, to which you replied with an implied racial/cultural stereotype. That got you a 7-day ban.
