Bot detecting accounts that promote the same thing.

Open CuriousLyz opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Nsfw subreddits struggle with OnlyFans management agencies that spam using multiple accounts to promote the same Onlyfans links. Another approach is, if the main spam account was banned they come with a purchased account and start promoting the same OF links. We ban an account but they can come with 5 others in the same day and it's difficult to manage or to spot as they post those links on their profiles.

I'm interested to know if it's possible that:

  • CM to have a database of blacklisted OF links saved in a wiki or somewhere?
  • CM can check the history of the authors of new posts, and to see if they mention one of the Black Listed OF links in posts or comments? The bot is needed as they post those links on their profile or comments - it's not like you can make an Automoderator rule: remove thise OF links

Or

  • CM can detect if among authors of the posts in an subreddit, are users who mention the same OF links in their profile comments. This would be helpful to spot people who use multiple accounts at once.

I'm mentioning the OF links as those are the issues Nsfw subreddits are facing.

But there can be other mods who might use this against - sellers who try to sell particular things, or they try to promote particular websites / stores.

This a complicated scenario! Having a database of banned links (strings) might be feasible. It would definitely solve this problem and would be applicable to normal CM rules, depending on how I structure it...Let me think on this.

#49 is relevant to this as well -- being able to detect "zombie" accounts who have not posted in a long time and suddenly start posting a lot or to very specific subs would be a good sign of a bought/hacked account.
