[Announcement] Stricter enforcement of spam rules
Author Summary

Post Body

Hello community. In a recent poll, a significant number of users indicated that daily limit on post frequency is the most desirable. However, there is still a lot of recurring spam, both reported and complained about, as defined in our rules ("Posting the same content from multiple accounts is considered spam") and in Reddit's definition of spam ("Repeatedly posting the same or similar comments in a thread, subreddit or across subreddits"). Specifically, there are some users who post the same or similar content at high but currently-allowable frequency utilizing different user accounts.

When this is behavior is carried out by obvious scammers, it is flagged and deleted as quickly as possible. For posts that do not appear as obvious scams, enforcement of this rule was significantly relaxed. This rule will now be enforced more equally across all posts.

This behavior does violate our existing rules as stated, and the appearance of spam creates a seed of distrust in the community. R4Rs by their very nature rely on trust to build safe experiences, and we are trying to make this community as trustworthy as we can for a group of mostly-anonymous identities.

As such, there will be stronger enforcement against this behavior. If you for some reason can't use a consistent account, then either find a way to make your content not spammy (repetitive), or consider trying other R4R communities on the site.

Thanks for your understanding.
