The Touhou Subreddit has special rules regarding image posts made to the subreddit. This bot was created to make it easier for the moderators to keep track of users and their posts made to the subreddit. This reddit bot does the following
- Keep track of posts made to the subreddit on a daily and weekly basis.
- Enforce daily limits on art posts on a per user basis.
- Enforce weekly limits on art posts on a per user basis.
- Ensure art posts are directly linking to the source instead of using rehosting services.
The bot operates based on the following data:
- The individual user creating posts.
- The time posts are created.
- The URL of the link posts.
- The applied flair on each individual post.
The end goal is to allow either users or mods to mark the flair on posts, and let the bot handle the rest of the moderation with respect to these rules.
The bot has a blacklist and whitelist for both domains and flairs, applied in the following priorities (lower priority precedes all following decisions):
- Posts that meet the whitelist criteria on either whitelists are ignored and are automatically exempt from moderation.
- Posts that meet the flair blacklist are always subject to moderation.
- Posts that meet the domain blacklist are only subject to moderation if not in the flair whitelist.
