    Well it’s not that bad, tho why? why would this be restricted?

    Is it to reduce spam with “low” quality content which doesn’t make people stay longer?

      Whenever a spammer or spam bot is identified through reporting and gets banned, the spammer just makes a new account and continues. As a result spam accounts tend to be “young” accounts with low karma.

      But limiting the posting and commenting powers of all young accounts and accounts with low karma, they limit how quickly someone can spam Reddit. There’s also less obvious limits to like limiting activities from the same ip addresses. (To prevent working around the limits by simply creating 100s of accounts at a time)
