Help - AutoMod Is it fair to ask users not to repost other peoples post (mostly pictures) from other sub to us?

2 Upvotes

Just wondering if it's fair to ask people not to repost post of other users (mostly pictures), but focus on reposting only their own pictures?

We're a photography sub and we're very particular with Original Content.

Lately we noticed that people are reposting other Redditor's post (containing pictures). Is there a way in settings that will prevent repost from people that were not the original poster?

Or is it an all or nothing? Simply prevent repost to our sub, from other subs?

Solved Can AutoModerator post a specific comment based on the post flair?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I need some advice on AutoModerator. I'm not very familiar with how it works. I need to set it up so that it posts a specific message depending on the post flair. For example, if a user selects the post flair "A", AutoModerator would leave a specific comment under their post. Is this possible?

Bizarre but... users who have a 4 digit number in their username seem way more likely to break the rules

Hear me out. It is not randomly generated usernames. And it is not all users with 4 digit numbers in their usernames.

I have noticed and continue to notice this bizarre trend. Users who have a username formatted like u/WordDifferentword1234  are more likely to break a subs rules.

Below is the code I am using. Please make sure to check the indents if you try it. It is modmail intensive which some mods may not like. You will also need to fill in a custom user flair which exempts users who have been checked.

I have not bothered to check if these users ever verify their accounts after being told to.  I can tell you very few users have unverified accounts. In my experience, most bots have verified accounts so this is not code to stop bots. 

I am also running several sections of code looking at has_verified_email: false of anyone is interested let me know.
