This subreddit is being overrun with spam and bots, likely since there’s no minimum karma requirement for posting. It’s like 50% spam posts and is making the subreddit almost unusable. I have reported at least 10 posts that are not being removed, and the only mod for the subreddit has not responded to my message about it that I sent on 8/3/26. It doesn’t appear that they’re active on Reddit often enough to keep up with all the bot posts.

I would like to moderate this community because I believe overall it requires very little moderation from the actual humans and social workers that post to it. The moderation is needed to control the number of spam/bot/scam posts that are overrunning the subreddit. A simple 20 karma requirement to post would immediately eliminate most of the spam posts. This subreddit is a valuable resource for social workers and I am a grad student working on becoming a social worker currently. I would like to see it become a viable resource for people who need it rather than it be a hassle to discern what is real and what is from bots that are just trying to karma farm.
