That's a fair point. Right now the logic assumes age equals trust, which is obviously a bit of a leap. It also has the side effect of flagging a real person who just created an account to make a legit contribution.

The goal here was just to catch the obvious burner accounts created yesterday. How would you handle this verification instead? Or would you just not use account age at all as an indicator? I'd love to make the logic more robust.
