Its been 1 week since we announced new rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1su3ao4/rlocalllama_rule_updates/
We'd like to check in to see how the community is liking them so far. We are specifically interested in long time contributors and those who sort by new (which is the area that was most impacted by slop/spam)
On the stats side that we can see, there's a very positive indication. Not only is Automod doing a lot more of the removals, reports from users has also gone down significantly. Specifically for Rule 4 - Self Promotion which was the area of largest abuse. This is thanks to the minimum karma requirements that were picked based on the kind of patterns we saw and the stategy looks to be well validated by the results so far.
Given that Automod is removing the posts instantaneously (and avoids the lag we had with us human mods getting to it hours after posting), the New feed should be much more usable - this is important to enable healthy engagement and ensure good quality posts rise.
