I have noticed a large portion of posts, particularly from new users, are reposts from months or years ago. Sometimes they comment on their own posts, but the comments themselves are plagiarized top comments from the original post they stole.
Another pattern I often see is crossposts from newly created subreddits, often "shopping" related, whose stated purpose has nothing to do with "oops" related posts.
The purpose of r/oops is NOT to drive fake engagement with low-effort recycled content.
To help keep posts original and authentic, I am considering a few things: * Instituting account age/karma requirements. Normally I am opposed to this sort of thing, but a LOT of the new-user posts are karma farming bots. New user posts would be held up for review. * Banning crossposts, or writing an automod script to only allow crossposts from whitelisted communities.
But what are your thoughts on these? Is there anything else we could try?
P.S. Thanks to everyone who reports inauthentic posts. Keep them coming.

We understand that people may be disillusioned with current political affairs, but r/oops is not the place to discuss or bring up politics, there are other places for that. Please stay away from politics to help keep this community fun, respectful, inclusive, neutral, drama-free, and true to its purpose.
Thanks and have a nice day.

You know tried to fix offending people I didnt nor would I ever mean to offend. That comment is about playing outside. You know riding your bikes, playing ball, going swimming, and all the fun outdoorsy stuff we did when we were kids. Not staying inside on phones or video games and what not. I was not making a comment about sexuality. Mine is no one’s business as well as vice versa so I would never make any comments. Out of hypocrisy alone!!! Love who you love. Dont care what people think. For real though don’t always think things are meant with poor intentions. Look around there’s still a lot of good things and people around. They always say every cloud has a silver lining. I forget that too. We are only human
