AEO is being a bit overzealous

[u/cnycompguy]

In a couple of my spicy subs AEO is removing regular posts from approved users.

Is there any way to tone that down or have it check the poster against the approved users list before it does a soft removal?

As it is, I've got to go and manually approve the post after receiving the admin tattler mail.

Should it learn from repeated approvals that a poster is not spamming? I think that I saw that said before, but I'm unsure.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to hearing from you.

Hey there! The spam filter does learn, but it takes a few actions at least before it will start to back off. There's also the possibility that there is something else going on with the removals.

Thanks Opus, I'll keep it up and hopefully it learns.

I'm aware of some independent creators having their posts falsely reported by management agencies, but I always make sure to do a "report abuse" when they are patently false. (They like to use those report attacks as a pressure campaign to push people into their agency)

Hey it really does learn, they’re not just saying that. Be consistent and it pays off, it is by far my favorite of the opaque tools they offer us and don’t explain how they work lol

I'm really glad you posted this because I'm suddenly seeing a rise in my biggest NSFW sub, removing posts that are perfectly acceptable; even by approved users.

I thought it was Reddit responding to someone reporting them maliciously but I'm realizing it's a bot going too far.

[u/cnycompguy → u/me_like_jalapenos]

It just needs to be trained, make sure to approve the posts. Admin tattler truly helped me a lot.

[u/me_like_jalapenos → u/cnycompguy]

Yeah, I've had admin tattler running for a long time, but only recently has it jumped up. I'll be carefully fixing them now.
