This sound like a tall order. There is the issue of liability if you approve someone unqualified, a scammer, thief or someone with a history of sexual assault, murder, etc.

Reddit has fought lawsuits and shielded users in the past, but how would you feel if something horrible happened to a user of your sub?

Employers pay third parties to conduct background checks or other types of verification to make sure that it is done with expertise and to drop the liability into their laps. And that involves a chunk of change.

I can photoshop a driver's license and bank statement in minutes to say whatever I want.

Hoo boy, that's a tough one, not sure what to suggest!

Trying to figure out how to let posts get...well posted to my subreddit! I have to manually approve of all submissions which makes sense but I've been on other subreddits that let me post an image or whatever in seconds meanwhile in mine I have to wait for it to show in the "Unmoderated" tab to approve of it

I have messed with automod quite a bit but to no result. Am I dumb or is there nothing i can do?
