Mod Mail Ban Evasion Filter

Can you clarify if these mod mails are funnelled to the "filtered" folder in modmail or do they end up in a black hole?

I have some bots running specifically to deal with ban evaders, I'd like to know if this would break my work flow

How does this handle opposite subs on the same topic?

Is this based on automod rules and if yes, does this only look at spam/remove automod rules or also automod rules that filter?

This is a really great app, might I suggest comment cap[1] for when your sub isn't likely to hit r/ all or r/ popular but you do know that if a post hits a certain number of comments it's a potential fire hazard

Correct, if enabled, the Mod Mail Ban Evasion Filter will send messages authored by suspected ban evaders to the “Filtered” folder. Without knowing the specifics of the bots, it's unclear if this would break their workflow. More info on this can be found here[1]. Please let us know if this negatively impacts anything on your end.

What do you mean by opposite subs? r/NYYankees vs r/redsox? If so, this feature should be smart enough to deduce that your post for one sub might not be the best fit for another on the same topic.

Is this based on automod rules and if yes, does this only look at spam/remove automod rules or also automod rules that filter?

Yes—this is based on AutoMod configurations, and it looks for `rule_action IN ('remove', 'spam', 'mark_spam', 'filter').`It highlights to the user general settings like karma and account age requirements, and whether the user has a verified email, without diving into specific details. It then suggest steps a redditor could take in order to meet the criteria to successfully post in a community.

might I suggest comment cap

By all means, suggest away!
