Hello everyone in SanDiegoR4R community,

I wanted to give you all an update on recent changes we have made to help reduce spam and ensure a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Firstly, we have added a verification system which will notify everyone if a poster is verified or not. This means we have confirmed that the poster is a real human.

In addition, we have disallowed posting from low karma or new accounts. However, if the user verifies their account, these limitations can be bypassed.

We have also implemented a new system where comments will be removed if an account's karma goes negative. We would like to request that the community downvote comments they believe are spam. This will help us to fine-tune the value at which comments start being removed, and ultimately keep spammers from being able to post.

To make the post format more consistent and easier to navigate, titles must start with what users are looking for and the poster's age. For example, "25 [M4F]" or "28 (F4F)". Anything not matching that format will be removed.

Finally, we would like to discourage comments mentioning that a post is fake. The AutoModerator will now reply to any comments like this, asking the user to report the post so that our moderators can clear it out more easily.

We hope that these changes will create a better community for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the moderators.

Thank you!
