interesting, what community was it? 3 reports seems ridiculously low
It's a rule implemented because they were being overrun by bot spammers. However, as completely expected, it took exactly 1 day for bad actors to spin up alt accounts and begin abusing bot removal to take down stuff they don't like.
At least don't cite the specific number like that, it just gives trolls a fixed measure of how many accounts they need to screw with people. Just say 'multiple' and leave it.
