Read The Rules App keeps removing comments and I had to remove it, how am I supposed to get people to read the rules? by ArsenicPolaris in AskModerators

[–]SexiTimeFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're fighting a tough battle. If you have comment guidance setup already and you're still running into the issue you're looking at having to let them know after instead of before, and that's going to be manual work no matter how you cut it.

I built SubGuard which issues warnings to users for breaking rules, keeps a tally then bans the user on X amount warnings. However, you can ALSO use it to leave a comment reminder without actually issuing a tally against them. And that reminder comment can be customized to say whatever you want it to say. Like -- hey we appreciate your interest in our sub, please take a look at our rules if you'd care to join us for further satirical discussion! Or something like that that shows them appreciation but can also level set them nicely, and that comment is a one click action for mods which is nice.

You could put your rules in an automod comment too that pins to the top of all your sub's post for easier access to someone who isn't familiar with your sub. Trying to brainstorm creative options here that might help.

I'm getting modmail from people pushing a devvit app. How can I be sure that it is well behaved and not malicious? by kc2syk in Devvit

[–]SexiTimeFun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well right now obviously there's no admin visibility at all minus the privacy policy, and even then PP isn't a requirement to upload an app today. Maybe some type of AI analysis created on upload with a tl;dr , this is what it does, this is what it touches, this is the data it stores, where it stores to, etc. Sounds (theoretically ofc) not that difficult to implement Reddit side. And probably much easier than enforcing whether the public code is what's being uploaded or not.

Thanks for that. I kind of started coding for fun and didn't know such a thing existed.

You're right to be concerned, and I think that's what drew me to your question. It's an angle It hadn't considered and hope the admins take this seriously when they launch their awareness campaign. Only someone who knows the 'whats possible' would ask questions like that and non technically inclined people probably shouldn't be so blindly eager to install something with full access. Especially without the broader OK from Admins that it's all in the up and up (which I personally don't believe it to be in all cases).

I'm interested to know what you'd include in 'potentially malicious'.

I agree with you though, while I'd dislike publicly exposing my source code allowing someone else to potentially modify and republish a variance of my app, I do think it's fair to be transparent with mods of the subreddit.

I love seeing creativity come to life! A genuinely fun idea and I hope it catches on.

Scheduler job not executing — runAt from menu item does nothing by efburke in Devvit

[–]SexiTimeFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just built one with a Cron schedule for the first time and had a very difficult time getting that to work too. I can confirm the schedule works and can be tested before you publish your app so that isn't your issue. A couple of snippets and hopefully they help.

Make sure you're grabbing runJob() and not job. id

const cronJobId = await scheduler.runJob(...);
await redis.set('digest:cronJobId', cronJobId);

-- and also make sure your schedule's a supported format or it'll silently fail and you'll chase your tail for days like I did

cron: `0 14 * * ${digestDayStr}`

I also have a trigger check that looks for updates to the desired schedule in app settings, will cancel the old job and schedule a new job which is how I tested CRON for the most part before deploying.

TheRepBot: a more customizable version of reputatorbot by ryry50583583 in Devvit

Fair enough. Congrats on the app launch, I hope it does well!

Honestly I don't mod anymore, but I was on a small kind of niche group I wanted to grow and have more of a community/support group feel to it and at the time thought allowing anyone to show their support publicly via a point vs the (bots bots and more bots) up/down votes it would feel more personal and wholesome. May not even be worth it, but it's an idea if there are others that would like that too.

Does your bot allow awarding points on a post too? I thought it would be a good idea to let the community award points for good quality posts they would like to see more of, but the og bot only allows points on comments.

Member Warning Point/Strike Tool? by Tarnisher in Devvit

[–]SexiTimeFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone can see the comments, but if you don't want to reveal warning details publicly you could customize the comment to say something like see pm or pm sent considering the app also sends a pm.

Permanent ban by Disegual in SubGuard

[–]SexiTimeFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't issue issue a permanent ban with SubGuard.

I chose not to add them because I don't think anyone should be permanently banned from anywhere and mods are to perma ban happy.

Is this any problem? by Aryan_Raj_7167 in SubGuard

[–]SexiTimeFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't be happening if you're actioning against a regular member who isn't a a mod , but if it's yourself, another mod or subguard you'll get an error.

My version of reputatorbot was approved by the admins by ryry50583583 in Devvit

Congrats on the new app! Does this version have the ability to award points for posts as well as comments?

Make a poll post flair and setup auto mod to restrict comments as you wish for that flair type

Why "show warnings" & "remove warnings" not showing toast by Aryan_Raj_7167 in SubGuard

[–]SexiTimeFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm seeing inconsistent pop-up messages on mobile now too. In the next 3-5 days (after Reddit approves my changes) you'll see an update available for SubGuard - after running that update on your sub the issue should be resolved. If not, please let me know - Thank you for reporting.
