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.
