Rules to slow down spam?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨luthis@lemmy.nz⁩ to ⁨support@lemmy.world⁩

Let me know if there is a better place for enhancement requests.

To combat spam, is it possible to enact rules like this?

Can’t post in the first hour of making an account
Can’t create more than 2 accounts per … day? from the same IP
Can’t post more than once every 10 minutes…

1st rule won’t stop spam.

3rd rule will bring about too much frustration for non-spammer users.

I’d add:

no community creation for accounts with less than x comments activity

only one new community creation per month (?)

automatic deletion of the communities with no activity over a month (voting/commenting/adding new posts, etc)

the possibility to choose “do not show threads with LESS than x upvotes in main”

  Also this second rule will screw over VPN users like me, so it needs to be reworked as well.
  
  Rule 1 won’t stop spam, but will slow it down
