Description

We've got a situation where active user got banned for bitly link. @IRus proposed to change the rule to ban only newcomers.
https://t.me/kotlin_meta/2754
The idea sounds reasonable. Of course this would be possible to implement only after getting persistent storage going on.
TODO:

  • Decide on algorithm
  • Decide on default thresholds
  • Implement

Research direction

Start by locating the current rule that bans users for posting links and review the persistent-storage work referenced in the issue. Before implementation, define the algorithm and default thresholds for distinguishing newcomers from members. Done means those decisions are recorded and the link-ban behavior uses the resulting persisted message thresholds.
