Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

  They counted comments and the number of upvotes (or what have you) in an attempt to stop trolls and bad actors. If you didn’t have enough comments you couldn’t post anything to the message boards and therefore could really engage with the message oars above a certain level. I remember that some also used to limit the number of comments any one user account could make per day, especially new users.

    Where was this? I was on at least 10 different message boards, most of them extremely large, including something awful, and nothing had what you’re talking about.
