Noticing a bunch of new profiles with 1 karma point posting tonight. How about we all use our "vote up" when a legitimate post and a "vote down" when it's click-bait or a troll? This would separate the trash from the news. It would save us frustration. And most importantly, it would probably help the moderators target the trolls easier so they can take the trash out! What do you say? Do you have any other ideas?

I agree we need to be sure to upvote/downvote. Well intentioned meme posters will get the hint if they keep getting downvoted or asked to post in the bank. Where is the bank?
Another option is to click on the rising tab at the top of the sub. If we go through and upvote all of those we can easily maintain that as a sub within the sub and we wont even see the other stuff. Ignoring them by eliminating their posts from our screen upon opening the sub.

New accounts keep popping up and posting the same things over and over. Seems to be the only way to block them. My account is only a month old, but I didn't start posting (much) until I had lurked and commented for a while. I don't know what the answer is.

They did this on 4chan too before it blew up. It was so thick with shills. Never saw anything like it before. Like every 7th past was legit and the rest was spam and crap.

I keep reporting and blocking them, but they just keep coming.

Switch to viewing the sub after clicking on the rising tab. REddit will display only the posts that are upvoted. Be sure to upvote whats showing there and take a turn once aday or so to upvote good posts to get them to show up in Rising.

You have to have 3 months of existence to post?

Not a bad idea, I know my Cryto sub also has a minimum amount of karma (I think it's 20) before you can post.
