Subreddit Announcement.
We have decided to implement Automod on the sub.
Accounts must be of a certain age and have more than a certain amount of karma to avoid auto deletion.
One of the drawbacks of this will be throwaway accounts.
I've looked into it and automod only acts once on a post so if you need to use a throwaway for whatever reason, pm the mod team and we can approve your post.
In the time it's taken me to type this it has already removed a post by /u/kincorabouncer

If this is in fact true, Id like to offer a few words of condolence. Spuds was not his real name. He was, however, a legitimate private detective. He partook in a sub on actual private detectives and always had words of encouragement. I neede to work in another state and it happened to be where Spuds has his agency. He let me use his license number while I was in Connecticut and couldn't have been more accommodating. He was like a cross between Pete Blaber and Waylon Jennings. He had a heart of gold but a temper like a drunken sailor on shore leave. When he said he was setting up shop in Ireland I thought he was a buffoon. I told him he may as well start growing watermelons on the north pole. Talk about throwing good money after bad. But once he made up his mind, it was impossible to change it. You're always welcome in the detective sub. And remember, I trust you with my life but not with my wife you dirty dog!
