Removing images from new users (self.meta)

So recently theres been a bunch of trolls posting csam over in some other communities in the All feed. So handling this can be automated instead of a bunch of people needing to report it every time ive made it so users that have barely any activity in their account will no be able to make image posts

Let me know if theres any issues with the bot. Its also open source here https://github.com/programming-dot-dev/karma-bot (theres prebuilt docker images but theyre a bit bugged currently so if you want to use docker build it yourself)

this is the account that will be removing posts / showing up in the modlog - Ategon speaking here

Thanks. I can see that a new post from 'nixCraft' has made it, when the previous one got removed. I know it's not important, but pls can the removed posts be restored?

[–] Ategon 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Thats due to it seeing the account has activity now (votes still federate over even when the post is removed, just people cant see it). Update to the bot would be coming maybe tomorrow or sometime this week. Yeah sure ill restore the ones currently removed

Oh right. I didn't realise that removed posts still got votes (and comments too, by the looks of it). No rush for the update, obvs (I thinks there's only one actual subscriber from programming.dev)

Just posting to nag you about this: can [email protected] be added as an exception to the automod?
