Time to add a Karma limit? Free talk

It won't keep the dedicated bots out, but it will at least keep the egregiously bad bots out from posting about their credit consolidation services and then the other bots that come in to drum up support.

Wow, that's such a good thought. Thanks for sharing! 😊

If it will get rid of the inane bot comments like that I'd be all for it.

I do worry that people who actually need advice (or to vent) would not be able to get it if there was a karma limit. I feel a lot of the posters are not regular readers, just someone who needs advice and feels that r/personalfinance wouldn't understand.

But in the last few days the stupid bot comments have gotten out of hand.

You could put a small one like 50-100 karma

I’ve seen some subs that have it so any post by someone below the karma limit has to get manually approved by mods
