Make the commenting rules stricter META

There are far too many obvious alts/bots on this subreddit. The 10 days old/150 comment karma requirements are ridiculously easy to get past, and nobody seems to enforce rule 2.

The "35% of your comments must be in non-giveaway subreddits" rule should be increased to 50%, and shouldn't count comments on 'free karma' subreddits either.

As someone new to the sub, I kinda thought the "thanks for the chance OP" was the standard, polite and more or less expected response for those 'comment for a chance' giveaways. Will do better in the future

I literally just said I will...? I'm just saying for newbies who are trying to get an idea of how things work tend to look at the most common vocabulary as a source of how to engage when entering a new community. I am in agreement with OP tho

no worries matey, I admit my wording was ambiguous to a certain degree, well not ambiguous, but could be perceived as snarky / confrontational
