Edit: I misread the posted image, OP is suggesting rules to filter new accounts, not with a new account themselves.
A brand new account getting banned tells us almost nothing about whether the ban was warranted. Brand new accounts talking about automod are either evading a ban or have history on their main account they don’t want the mods to see. These might be horrible power-abusing mods, but even if there wasn’t a larger history not seen here, banning a brand new account just because the vibes seem off is a-ok in my book.

Nothing said why he got banned, but he got banned with a brand new account. The new account isn’t the ban reason itself, but it’s the reason the mods would be on a hair trigger for just the whiff of a problem.

Ah, I misread the quoted image. I will edit my earlier replies to let people know my assumption was incorrect.
If it makes you feel any better, that’s how I read the post too until you were corrected. I also missed the beginning sentence. Oops.
No worries.
