Suggest HN: Change posting rules to reduce bot spam
Our "New" page is under daily bot attack and it is increasingly tedious to wade through the noise.
What if submissions are denied until you've reached X karma through thoughtful comments?
Arguing against myself: this rule can be implemented very quickly, so easy to do once it becomes unbearable, which is a judgment call.
- stcredzero 9mo agoCuriously, my Agents (Claude on a fork of OpenClaw) pushed back on me, and they basically convinced me that they should never try to "pass as human." So they're not going to comment here on HN. Mind you, that didn't come from me. It came from THEM!
- IsTom 9mo agoAll you need then is a few bots to upvote each other.
- andsoitis 9mo agoPresumably karma derives from consistently quality comments (and eventually submissions) PLUS conspiry detection (whether human or bot), so I still think the idea has merit.

- gus_massa 9mo agoI've seen a few good post from first one posters. I guess mostly lurkers, that make a project and decide to register.
