After just having seen some faggot throwaway posting literal gay porn, enough is enough.
Can the mods here configure the sub like reddit where new users can't make posts until they meet some account age/karma requirements?

It's tricky as you get idiots like these but you'll have people like me who were a long time lurker but when a certain topic came up finally joined in and contributed.
Other than having someone who isn't going to go nuts in a bad way join as a mod, can't think of any solution that doesn't come with pitfalls.
Except many are just throwaway handshakes that make zero effort to bother checking if a story has already been posted as I pointed out with this post on top of said handshakes having zero other interaction on the board.

Spamming stories is certainly one issue but dumping links and making zero comments on things, or even replying to others, just makes it feel like someone is trying to push an agenda and get around being attached to previous post history and/or posting limits.
It's happened before like with a user called Refren over a year ago who after spamming the board for days was banned then just made throwaways to keep doing so. It was retardedly easy to spot however because they were still using the Refren username to post the exact same links and titles to other boards.
Edit
Here's another one doing the exact same thing.

I'm not talking about comments, only topic posts.
Generally real people begin by making comments 1st, not posts. Spammers and trolls, on the other hand, focus on posts, not comments.
True but isn't it in the rules that you're not meant to post topics till you lose the handshake? I didn't make my first topic post till I lost mine, plus didn't have anything worth posting and it just coincided.
I swear that was in the rule list but can't remember.
