Have mods finally started caring about CE people coming here?

People probably started marking them.

In the old days, any topic with "Hi, I'm from [insert other board here]" as a title or in the initial post generally got modded pretty quickly for "board invasion" (even if it really wasn't much of an "invasion", per se), mainly because that shit could get ugly really quick, and it was always in everyone's best interests to clamp down on it ASAP.

I think enforcement of that grew more and more lax over the last few years mainly because board invasions sort of died out as a thing as most users just sort of stopped caring, but it never really stopped being a thing in the ToS.

If a spate of those sorts of topics started riling up PotDers, it wouldn't take much effort for even just a few people to start marking them all, pushing them right up the queue to the top, where they'd get (rightly) modded in a "fair, next" sort of scenario. You don't really need an active mod deliberately patrolling the board for that - we've sort of demonstrated in the past that we're very, very good at getting topics deleted when they sort of annoy us on a PotD group identity sort of level (or when the user in question is just hated by like 80% of the board and everyone is actively looking to torpedo them).
