Proposal:

- Min. 90 days account existence in order to submit

- Cap on plain/Show/Ask HN posts per week

Most of the spam I see in /new or /ask is from fresh accounts. This approach is simple and awards long-term engagement/users while discouraging fly-by-night spammers.

Yep, hide new accounts except to higher karma users is an easy win.

But very gatekeepy. New accounts are already highlighted and get mercilessly reported and downvoted if they post spam.
