Allowing a user with negative Karma to post?

Hey Modhelp!

I have a.. confusing situation. An active user on our Subreddit has negative comment Karma approaching -100, but upon reviewing all his comments, none of them are rule-breaking even by the most strict standards. It seems they're being targeted mainly because of how detailed and long their comments are on any given subject, and the target audience of that subreddit is gamers.

I've lowered the threshold before AutoMod removes the commentor who has negative Karma, but they're continuously receiving more downvotes with every submission and constantly lowering the threshold every single time to accommodate is not ideal. I've added them to the "Approved Users" UI list, yet their comments are still being hit by AutoMod regardless. Is there anything I can add to AutoMod directly to circumvent this?

Comments

As a pretty strict mod I'm raided regularly by people not liking the fact we don't let them do whatever they want in our subs.

3 years ago it could have a huge impact on my karma, but with the new anti harassment tools reddit deployed every time it goes down it bumps up in a few days.

Less than 15 comment karma per month of existing on reddit isnt a very good sign and below 7 per month of age is a real red flag usually
