  • What exactly am I to do when mods use my bot maliciously? I just try to program features into the bot that might be used by the moderators. Everything is optional, if the features are used maliciously, it’s not my fault but the moderators’. What fault does the creator of knives have when they are being used to murder people instead of cutting vegetables?

    I do appreciate your comment though, some misc tasks don’t necessarily need to exist such as welcome messages and auto comments on posts. Actually I’ll remove welcome messages, they are a waste of API calls. Maybe auto comment on posts as well but scheduled posts are (most likely) staying. It is a moderation bot after all. I’ll consider your compliant. Thanks.







  • Banning members on their username.

    I am merely trying to give community mods options. This feature and the other features are optional. Direct your complaints to the community owners if they use some regex that matches usernames that you think shouldn’t be banned.

    Locking down an entire community because of a small group of people spamming.

    The bot just locks it down to stop the spam, otherwise everyone’s feed will just be filled with spam. I haven’t seen such a spam yet, but that does not mean there won’t be any in the future. Just trying to be prepared for it.

    Deleting posts because an account isn’t old enough?

    Again, I am just giving the mods options. If they enable the feature and use it, direct your complaints to them.

    Why not throw in the system to have to approve posts before they get published? Really make the community welcoming.

    That is possible with post locking and with a dashboard. I’ll look into it.

    It was said in another comment above that this tool is easily abused by “overzealous mods”, but I believe the real problem are overzealous programmers.

    Again, I’m only giving them options.

    Every tool can be used both in good and bad purposes. Why is it that it is the fault of the tool or its creator?
