Having a minimum account age requirement during a political season seems like a common and effective way to combat a lot of the trolling.

I agree it won't mitigate it completely, but it'll take care of the low effort ones. Dismissing the idea completely is naive.

Even if this mass conspiracy to buy reddit accounts to comment on a fairly inactive sub is true, the "account age" solution would AT LEAST make it more expensive.

Banning political posts would be a serious mistake

It can't hurt to filter out the accounts that are only a few months old. Or have suspiciously low comment counts.

Edit: pretty much exactly like yours.
