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

Hello. My community !tails@lemmon.website is getting caught by this. It posts stuff from Mastodon users, so they won't have any karma. I've been trying to figure out why posts to programming.dev have been hit or miss, and the answer of course is that the missing posts are sat in modlog!

If poss, can tails be added as an exception? It's me that's deciding whether a post is made or not, so no spam or weird stuff will ever get sent.

Thanks.

Just posting to nag you about this: can !tails@lemmon.website be added as an exception to the automod?
