Lower the edit threshold for the Moderator Extension
Our recently passed RFC for the Moderation Extension has been very beneficial to the Wiki thus far and will hopefully continue to deter vandals and sockpuppets in the future, however I find that Users with less than 500 edits needing moderator approval for every edit they make to be a tad unfair. I will back this point up by saying you need less edits than that to apply as a moderator (250)!

I would like to propose that this threshold is lowered to 100 edits. I believe that 100 approved good faith edits are enough to prove a User's reliability, and any sockpuppets and vandals will have been weeded out long before they reach that 100 edit mark.

 * 1)  Sounds fair, especially when the minimum threshold for moderators is lower than that for automoderated users. Camenati (talk) 18:20, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 2)  this 100% Not only is this threshold too high but you can technically become moderator before you are able to bypass the Moderation extension Compooper (talk) 18:22, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 3)  I have over 500 edits so this isn't affecting me, but this sounds fair! Sickminecraft45 Signature Icon.jpg   (Talk to Me!) 18:24, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 4)  as 500 is thoroughly unfair and I'm surprised it was set that high. The fact I am a global operative is why I haven't realized it yet. It should be no more than 50 or it should be bound to autoconfirmed, where any credible sockpuppetry will have made itself evident I believe. --Raidarr (talk) 22:28, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I actually did bind it to autoconfirmed, which we’ve always had at 500 edits, but yeah, in light of the new mod requirements it should reallybe lowered: sig.png Talk ·&#32;Edits 01:18, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Then autoconfirmed itself should be far lower, yes. --Raidarr (talk) 09:50, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * , don't know why we decided that even autoconfirmed wouldn’t need changing once the mod role was introduced, let alone with the new moderation extension. Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (Lets chat!) 05:20, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

 * 3) . I always felt 500 was a bit high. Dominicmgm (talk) 14:29, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 4) I have hundred of edits and now i'm going to be very careful now. Ashley Taylor ft. Cure Finale (soulbond) and Raboot (pet) (talk) 07:32, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
