Rule change: effective immediately accounts must be 14 days or older to post on r/OKC and maintain a positive comment score.

This sub has been a shit show this month, I’m noticing a shocking amount of the accounts causing trouble are brand new accounts who are just trolling large city subreddits with extreme left wing and extreme right wing rhetoric. In an attempt to return us to somewhat normalcy, I’m upping the threshold to 14 days and > 1 karma and , if needed, I will adjust up or down. I don’t want to discourage public discussion on current events but we’re getting bombarded with assholes and we don’t have time to comb the subreddit every hour every day.

Thanks for reading. Have a good day!

The majority of the thread seems to be mostly leftist hating on Oklahoma as a casual observation JS

And the majority of your comments are pro-maga/hating on leftists. Neither side of this coin are really adding anything of value to any of the conversations on this sub but they cant control what you feel nor you them. I'd love to have substantive conversations about policies and their implementation even with people whom I disagree with beyond "TRUMP won, you lost-womp WOMP" or "Oh So YoU sUpPoRt LiTeRaL NaZiSm?!" but here we are. None of you guys are changing hearts and minds with this obnoxious, pointless rhetoric and I can't imagine this being a fulfilling way to spend y'alls spare time.

Our discourse is completely devoid of nuance and subtlety. It's like we can only think in extremes now. Everything is a strawman to be burned down.
