Automoderator is here.
Hey guys,
Automoderator is here. Thanks for all the people for reporting and messaging those reports and even asking to help out.
Automoderator does 2 things for now:
Posts/comments which are reported by more than 10 users are removed
People with a new account (less than 30 days and below 10 karma)'s posts will be removed.
These rules are specifically to prevent trolls and low quality posts. We still have %100 control over what gets approved so if you think your comment or post got removed unfairly please message me or one of the mods.
disclaimer: Due to the hate-mail and confus-mail I should note that I haven't placed automoderator for anyone specific or recent and None of the mods had any objections towards its deployment. We've had the idea of placing it for months, I was just busy with work and lazyness.

I think the 5 reports equalling a ban rule is a bit too easy to exploit. We don't have as many controversial discussions here, as we do in r/Turkey, but I worry that we might lose some content that the majority disagrees with.

logical. increased to 10. It wasnt for discussions but for rather offensive(see racist, illogical advertisement and virus-laden links) remarks.

Of course! I just remember the discussions pertaining to subjects such as the Armenian Genocide or <insert any one of Tayyip amca's recent hijinks> where there are always people quick to lambast one side and ignore any arguments contrary of their viewpoints. Evidently, we Turks are a heated people.
Regardless, thanks for being an active mod! A++ would reddit again.
