[Feature Request] - Exclude {{match}} keywords from removal reasons. #20

Open xCapRx opened 5 years ago

xCapRx commented 5 years ago

Hello. At my sub, we've found out that some of our users are scraping the mod logs for what keywords are triggering post removals. They might be planning to use this information to circumvent our AutoMod config. If we could exclude out of the public logs the trigger keywords which are identified by the {{match}} placeholder, this would solve this issue. Yes we can simply remove the {{match}} placeholders in the AutoMod rules themselves, but then we wouldn't have access to that information which can be useful for us. Thanks.

Hi, this sounds like a cool feature. I don't think I'll have the time to implement it any time soon, but I would accept a PR if you want to implement it yourself.

You can also set the show_comment_contents config option to false to hide the entire comment. It's a bit more heavy-handed than excluding just those keywords but may work in a pinch.

How did you discover that users are scraping the mod logs?

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't know anything about coding, so I can't do a PR.

One of our users stated he noticed certain patterns in our mod log, which were true. We figured he was scraping data from the log and doing some sort of meta analysis.
