Haven’t (yet) looked at the code repo to see if it already takes into account my suggestion:
Would be nice to also utilize account age, ghosting (liked posts, followed communities etc) and instance reputation (fediseer) so dormant accounts and troll/farming/repost bots a la Reddit are recognized and handled as appropriate
The ideal solution would probably be data driven, thanks to the existing Lemmy database it should be possible… would be an absolutely massive undertaking I think though.

Currently only uses the score of the last 50 posts and comments the person made since thats public in the API and would still catch the current trolls for now even though its very basic catching

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.

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?
