Happy New Year, everyone!

As we step into 2026, we have a massive reason to celebrate. Thanks to your incredible engagement and shared appreciation for timeless elegance, r/PrettyOlderWomen has officially surpassed 200,000 weekly visitors! 🥂 This growth is a testament to the community we’ve built together.

Elevating Our Collection

With such a large audience, we want to ensure that our community remains a premier destination for high-quality content. To honor the remarkable women we feature, we are introducing a New Submission Quality Standard, effective immediately. 💎

From today forward, we will be prioritizing high-resolution, clear, and high-quality image posts. ✨

Why the Change?

This isn't about being restrictive; it’s about protection. We want our feed to be a curated gallery that truly does justice to the subjects we admire. 🖼️ To maintain this "gold standard," low-resolution, blurry, or heavily compressed images will be removed.

By holding our submissions to a higher standard, we ensure that every post on r/PrettyOlderWomen is a fitting tribute to the elegance we all come here to celebrate. 🌟

Happy posting, and let's make 2026 look incredible!
- The POW Mod Team

We're introducing two new automated moderation policies to cut down on spam, trolls, and bot activity. Please read carefully—these rules affect everyone.

1️⃣ Reputation Filter

To participate in r/PrettyOlderWomen, your account must meet both of these minimums:

• Account age: at least 7 days
• Combined karma: at least 50 (post + comment karma)

If your account doesn't meet the thresholds, your posts and comments will be held for moderator review (and may be removed if they break other rules). This is a one-time hurdle—once your account is old enough and has enough karma, you're free to participate.

2️⃣ Rate Limiting

To prevent flooding and give everyone a fair voice, we now enforce posting limits:

• Posts: a maximum of 4 per day

These limits are enforced by an automated bot. If you exceed the limit, your extra posts/comments will be automatically removed, and you'll receive a short notice. This is not a ban—you're welcome to post again once the window resets.

🛠 How it works behind the scenes

The reputation filter runs on AutoModerator. The rate limiting is handled by a separate bot (see setup instructions below). Both systems are transparent and apply equally to all users.

Why this matters:

• Stops fresh throwaway accounts from spamming or trolling
• Prevents one person dominating the conversation
• Keeps the community healthy without heavy-handed manual moderation

If you believe your content was caught incorrectly, please message the moderators.
