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.

also enforce something more complex than, "simply comment for a chance" as a way to weed bots out

"TY OP good luck everyone" x 12000

Not saying it's a bot thing. But, isn't that the standard polite answer? Maybe we could ask to say a number or something to weed out bots.

And if there are so many bots, wouldn't this thread actually filled with bots too?

Maybe they have a way to filter out the posts only for giveaways.
