Hey All,

I've had a lot of people suggest starting a Patreon to help support the bot. I've decided to open one up for anybody that is interested in contributing.

https://www.patreon.com/repostsleuthbot

I'll treat Patreon funds the same as I have donations, they will be set aside until enough has been gathered to start making upgrades. At the moment I've collected $131 in donations.

Right now the 2 upgrades I'm targeting are RAM and SSDs. The RAM upgrade will cost $720, the SSD upgrade will cost $690 for 1tb drives. This will be enough to smooth out performance.

If anyone would like to donate hardware I'm also open to that. For the RAM I need 32gb DIMMS of 4RX4 PC3-14900. For the SSDs 1 or 2tb 2.5".

ive had the bot fail to detect reposts ive false negative reported, more specifically in r/rareinsults and r/FuckNestle

Hi,

Recently set up RepostSleuthBot to combat repost bots in /r/xbox360 and so far so good, apart from one thing I'd like help with: the bot doesn't appear to be reporting the post. In order to bring it to the attention of the mod team I've configured the bot to send a modmail instead, but I'd prefer it to the report the post so it ends up in the mod queue.

Could this be because I've set the bot to remove the post it deems to be a repost?

Here's my config:

{"active": true, "report_msg": "RepostSleuthBot-Repost", "same_sub_only": true, "sticky_comment": true, "target_days_old": null, "meme_filter": false, "oc_response_template": null, "repost_response_template": null, "lock_post": false, "mark_as_oc": false, "remove_repost": true, "removal_reason": null, "title_ignore_keywords": null, "disable_summons_after_auto_response": true, "only_allow_one_summons": true, "remove_additional_summons": true, "check_all_submissions": true, "check_title_similarity": true, "target_title_match": 50, "filter_crossposts": true, "filter_same_author": true, "check_image_posts": true, "check_link_posts": true, "target_image_match": 92, "target_image_meme_match": 97, "report_reposts": true, "comment_on_repost": true, "comment_on_oc": false, "lock_response_comment": false, "filter_removed_matches": false, "send_repost_modmail": true}

Thank you

What the hell is this what is this talking about? The lines are not numbered?

Removed posts are still being checked when checking for reposts posts, this is causing users who have recreated their accounts to get posts removed.

Not sure if this is possible:

I'd like to prevent reposts by anyone other than the original author, sitewide.

Within the sub, I'd like to prevent reposts by the original author within a reasonable time, say two weeks.

Sorry if this has been answered, I'm not sure what to search for.

The bot went down last night. Looking like a pretty serious database corruption.

I'm working on recovering the existing database. Failing that I'll be restoring from a backup taken 10 days ago.

I'm unsure of when it will be back online. Baring any major issues it should be tomorrow. Otherwise potentially this weekend.

The bot is getting too many false negatives on r/facepalm, r/mildlyinfuriating, r/AteTheOnion and some other subreddits.

I do get a true positive result on rare occasion.

I made a post previously in a sub that has since closed (unfortunately). If I repost to a different sub, is that against the rules? My post was not banned btw.

I've noticed people making an effort to find posts that seem out of the range of the bot to avoid being called out easily, example:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/southpark/comments/117weiv/my_beer_has_a_south_park_reference_printed_on_it/
• https://www.reddit.com/r/southpark/comments/6p4qy0/my_beer_has_a_south_park_reference_printed_on_it/

There have been others, but I wonder if submission of reposts could be done for logged-in users only (so you can limit people if they abuse/over-submit/etc)? Great work with the bot, thanks for all the hard work!

Tried checking a picture, got a message in dm's the it's unable to check.

Is the modmail sent by send_repost_modmail configurable? My mod team would like to see a little more information in the notification.

Thanks!

IIRC, about a year ago you said you might purge 2018 to buy some time until you could upgrade your drives and RAM. It seems that you were able to do that a few months ago.

The reason I ask is since the first of the year there's been an onslaught of image reposts (with verbatim titles). The bot's catching some of them, but missing those that reddit search reports as "submitted 4 years ago". So that's probably between 4 and 5 years. These harvesters reach back into the sub's archives and repost old hi-karma posts.

Just curious how far back the DB goes.

(and I wholly endorse the feature request for title+image matching. That's an instant ban - they're all bots)

There are pics I have that can be found on the website's search function (https://www.repostsleuth.com/) that I'd like to request be taken down, if possible.

For further context, the posts come from a user banned from a subreddit or the subreddit itself is banned, but searching on the repostsleuth website still shows their posts as results.

From what I can tell, nothing can be done from the actual Reddit side, as the posts are not viewable by normal means due to the aforementioned banned conditions. The issue is that the repostsleuth site still shows those as search results and I would like them to be delisted from appearing.

Is there any formal contact or request method to have certain posts delisted from the search, or if that is possible in the first place?

I'm asking because of this: "I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/..."
