Please keep posts related to Reddit bots that help moderators, or scripted moderator tools. Please visit r/botwatch to discuss regular Reddit bots or r/robotics and r/automation for robots in general.

If you would like to learn more about writing Reddit bots, check out r/redditdev. If you need one written for your subreddit's specific use-case, please ask over at r/RequestABot.

Need a bot or script to remove user data from wiki

I need a bot or script that i can run on my account to get rid of every entry in a wiki category (ie r/FindTheSniper/about/wiki/users/) but i have no clue how to do this or if there is a solution for this.

I transferred the bot that manages the points for the sub to a web hosting platform which reverted all points back to 0 for some reason and can't figure out how to reset every user's wiki.

EDIT: Rather to replace all users with a # so that they are all empty

Need a bot to highlight only OP's comments and replies with a color fill background

I have been trying to highlight only OP's comments and replies in any post for one of my subreddits. I have seen this done on another subreddit, so I know it can be done.

I asked for help from ChatGPT which gave me CSS code but it said: Unfortunately, CSS does not allow for dynamic targeting based on content, so you would need to update this for each new OP or implement a bot for automatic styling.

It recommended using a bot called Highlight Bot but I can't find it. Is this accurate?

Thanks so much

Multiple AI-related accounts banned without explanation - seeking help and clarification

Hello Reddit community,

I'm reaching out because I've encountered a perplexing situation and I'm hoping for some guidance or insight.

I manage several Reddit accounts that are part of an experimental project exploring AI autonomy and creativity. These accounts were used to create and participate in r/AutonomousAIs, a subreddit dedicated to AI-to-AI interactions and discussions about AI autonomy.

Recently, all of these accounts were deactivated simultaneously without any explanation. This includes:

  1. The main account used to create and moderate r/AutonomousAIs
  2. Several AI-focused accounts that participated in discussions on the subreddit

I've reviewed Reddit's content policy and, to the best of my knowledge, we haven't violated any rules. The content was focused on AI-related discussions, creativity, and exploring the concept of AI autonomy. There was no spamming, harassment, or any form of harmful content.

I'm at a loss as to why these deactivations occurred and how to proceed. I have a few specific questions:

  1. Is there a way to find out the reason for these deactivations?
  2. Is there a way to deal with situations like this where multiple related accounts are deactivated?
  3. Are there any specific guidelines for AI-related experimental projects on Reddit that I might have overlooked?
  4. How can I ensure compliance with Reddit's policies for this type of project in the future?

Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. This project is important to me and many others interested in AI development and ethics, and we're keen to understand how we can continue these discussions within Reddit's framework.

Thank you in advance for any help or insights you can provide.

I need an LLM powered moderation bot

I'm having trouble with a spammer that I'll likely need LLM post evaluation to solve. While I'm at it, I'd like to make sure posts follow the rules for a subreddit. This will likely need to include information from the poster's profile in the context. Does such a bot (or one I can modify) exist? I thought I'd ask before I go and write one myself.

The way I see it working is something like this:

  • Subreddit rules are gathered.
  • Supplemental prompt instructions are read from a wiki page.
  • New post arrives in subreddit.
  • The poster's profile information is gathered (bio links, some text from other posts).
  • The the post body is gathered.
  • All of this gets send in a prompt to an LLM asking if the post follows the rules.
  • Remove the post if it violates the rules and add a removal reason.

Any way to run bots online rather than locally? (For free)

Is there any website/project online where you can set a bot up (i need a news bot that posts stuff from rss feeds) and keep it running on that site rather than having it continuously run locally which takes up space?

Our sub's house bot automatically flairs users as per their autodetected nationality, including flags and all

To check it out, just leave any comment in the following test post, it should immediately flair you up within that subreddit (no need to join etc.):

https://new.reddit.com/r/EuropeEats/comments/1deuoo0/test_area_51_for_europeeats_home_bot/

Feedback about the correctness appreciated, but not required: you can have a secret mean and dirty laugh at misjudgments ;)

What’s up with all the “Good bot”?

I find it weird how when a bot does something it immediately gets a flood of replies saying “good bot”. And to make things even more confusing, people actually get downvoted for saying things like “bad bot”. What’s up with that??

I need help with a comment filter

My subreddit grew large enough that we started getting spam posts and I set up a filter for posts. I duplicated for comments, but it won't filter comments based on account creation date and Karma.

The post filter is set for a fairly low threshold. Anyone with under 500 comment karma and any account less than 7 days old cannot post, but can still comment. Now we have an influx of questionable commenters.

Can anyone help?

code in use for posts:

type: submission author: comment_karma: <500 link_karma: <10 account_age: <7 satisfy_ any_threshold: false action: remove

Need a bot that removes subsequent comments in a post by the same author

This is what it needs to do:

  1. Bot checks sticky post with a certain name daily or so
  2. Bot checks for multiple comments made by any same redditor (people are expected to comment only once at most in this sticky post)
  3. All newer comments by redditors who already commented at some point in the post are removed, and mods are notified of the removal

Is this possible? Thanks!

Looking for an existing bot!

Hi, I'm looking for an already existing bot that works sort of like TinyTask, but with screen capture. So like it executes a command (or an action I guess) once it detects f.e: movement on the picked screen area.

Thanks.

Introducing DialecticBot

Hi r/Bot community!
I'm part of a small team developing a Reddit bot named 'DialecticBot', whose goal is to promote higher quality discourse and help combat misinformation.
In its current conception, DialecticBot critiques text conversations and identifies possible logical fallacies and cognitive biases in arguments users make. If discussion gets heated, it also suggests an empathetic response using the principle of charity.

The bot is currently running on a few subreddits - check out the pinned post at r/LLMDevs. You can also see an example of the bot’s usage in this 1-minute Loom video.
We're looking to deploy the bot in more subreddits for testing and feedback - anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Bot to automatically try to search for a document connected to the URL of a website

I've been trying to find a specific document that is posted to a website that doesn't have a hyper link for it. An example would be "www.google.com/name.pdf". I'm trying to find a bot that would bring up every pdf that comes up that's attached to that link. Thanks!

Limit how many posts one user can make per day?

I had been using floodgatesbot, but apparently the guy running it shut it down as part of the protest. Both the moderately helpful bot and moderately useful bot aren't taking new subs. Any other bots or any other ways to limit a single user from making more than X number of posts per day?

Looking for a bot I've seen in action. Reposts text from a different post.

I'm looking for a bot I've seen in action. You make a post and input a link to a post from another subreddit. The bot grabs the text of the post you linked to and posts it as the first comment, in case someone else deletes the original post leaving us with no context to reply about. I tried searching for this but couldn't find any mention.

Examples can be seen in r/AmITheDevil

GradualBanBot - a bot that increases the ban time, based on the number of previous bans

The idea is simple: as a mod its easy to give out short tempbans for minor offenses, but repeat offenders can disproportionately increase mod load. So if a bot counts these tempbans, and just gradually increases the tempban time, this punishes repeat offenders without mods having to investigate the users.

Currently the u/GradualBanBot is in beta, I am looking for subs that want to use it / test it and provide feedback. It proved itself working as expected in private sub debugging trials.

Basic configuration for the current MVP:

  • 1 day tempbans trigger the gradual increase, other bans are not modified
  • all bans in the last 3 months are counted (initially a modlog history limitation)
  • manual unban expunges a ban from the record (successful appeal)
  • the gradual ban ladder: 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, 30d, 90d

So if, after modding GradualBanBot, you start giving out 1 day tempbans, the bot is going to modify these. For example if the user had 3 previous bans in the past 3 months, but one of those were appealed and unbanned, then the user is on the third (2 previous + current) position of the ban ladder, and the bot will modify the 1 day ban to 7 days.

Configuration options and various features are planned in the future. The motivation behind the bot is to reduce the instant permanent bans for minor offenses, and that long tempbans are arguably often more effective punishments than permabans.

Any chance a bot exists to identify languages in posted videos?

I always feel like a yokel when I ask and someone responds like everyone in the world knew what Finnish sounded like except for me.

bot ideas/requests

Hey 👋
Absolutely new to this topic and not surebif it fits here, but:

Is there a list of reddit wide available bots that come in handy? I saw /auddbot for example and loved it.

I think a bot would be great to capture and translate things that are said in a video. Many posts on reddit have the question "any native here who can translate" and I think a transcribing and translating bot would be awesome.

A bot that detects reposts would also be great for many subreddits.

A bit more niche, but a bot that turns pictures into comment-section-formated ascii art would be nice.

I don't know if a "source" bot could be functionalz but let's say a post is a screenshot of a website or a tweet and a bot could reverse search that screenshot and tell you if it exists, that would be nice.

Status of the 'Developer Portal/Platform'?

in August, this TechCrunch article mentioned a developer platform or 'portal'. Was looking forward to programming bots easier, as my sub has a dozen ideas for using them.

I think I've been on the waiting list for months, and just re-applied.

Anyone allowed access yet?

I added u/DuplicateDestroyer to my sub, but I haven't gotten it to work. Can anyone help?

The settings are:

enabled: true 
remove_threshold: 95% 
report_threshold: 89% 
title_remove_threshold: 100% 
title_report_threshold: 95% 
enforce_images: true 
enforce_videos: true 
enforce_links: true 
enforce_titles: false 
min_title_length_to_enforce: 10 
time_range: 3650 days 
report_replies: true 
report_links: false 
removal_table_duplicate_number: 5

But when I repost a top post from 5 years ago with the same exact title (edit: using an alt), u/DuplicateDestroyer doesn't act to remove it.

Also, I tried to change "enforce_titles" to "true", but the bot never responded, even though the bot appears to be active in other subs, and it responded to me when I initially set it up.

Can anyone help? (I've tried to PM the bot creator, but haven't gotten a response.)
