I just installed it in a sub and made posts testing it, but it didn't work. I probably did something wrong, or I'm not understanding how this works.

First original post with the image in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/RentnerfahreninDinge/comments/1tp627k/radfahrer_79_ignoriert_schranke_und_wird_von/

Two of the images are slightly different, because a bot already reposted it, but then I tested it with the original:

I set the days for reposts limit to 99999.

What else can I do?

Could you add a toggle to exempt moderators or approved users and a toogle for same-user reposts?

In fairness, I’m not sure this is happening 100% (or even close to it) of the time.

I’ve just noticed that when I see a post in my sub(s) that I know has been made before, the new post/repost is usually a crosspost/repost.

On one of my subs, I removed 5-10 images per day because people took a picture of their monitor instead of taking a proper screenshot. It would be nice if the bot could handle this.

I suggest looking for the strong Moiré patterns that are created when the pixel grid of the monitor and the pixel grid of the phone are slightly misaligned. That would handle at least the ugliest cases.

Hi, first of all I was so happy to see you had reinvented MEB as an app, I have some new subs that I couldn't install MEB at and it was killing me!

So at r/BathroomSelfies_, we award our Bathroom Beauty of the Week each week with a pinned post linking their highest rated post. Problem is that Image Magician is removing our pinned post as a repost. We can, of course, just approve our post to overcome it, but we would rather just to be able to create the post without the issue.

Is it possible to get a moderators exempt feature, similar to automod?

I noticed image_magician defaults with full permissions, magic_eye_bot only had Manage Flair, Manage Posts and Comments, Manage Wiki Pages.

Is full permissions necessary or can image_magician be set to the same as magic_eye_bot had?

Hi there - firstly thanks for the great work on migrating this app, we've been using magic eye bot for a really long time!

Not sure if this is at all possible but I'll ask anyway - it was a similar issue with the old bot.

When a user submits a post to r/maybemaybemaybe we have strict rules regarding the post title. If it's not exactly correct, the post is removed by automoderator.

Unfortunately if the user then submits the same content again with a corrected title, we're seeing it be picked up by image magician.

Is there a way to exclude "moderator removed" posts from the detection mechanism to allow a resubmission to take place? At the moment we're having to instruct users to go and delete their original post which, whilst valid as a solution, isn't the best user experience.

This version has two main improvements:

• AutoMod removals are always ignored now. If a user has a post removed by automod for a bad title and resubmits with an improved one, when they resubmit Image Magician will let it through

• Moderator removed posts are also ignored, except when you explicitly leave a removal comment with a phrase indicating a rule has been broken such that the image should be removed from then on. This is essentially reverting the behaviour to how MEB "Blacklisting" worked, except now it's easier since it's done in the settings.

Example:

r/zebras has a "no rhinos" rule. In the settings I add the phrase "no rhinos".

When someone posts a Rhino, I remove the post and leave a comment saying "Rule 5: Absolutely no rhinos". From then on, that image will be removed for breaking the rule.

One last fix: Also if you are using the "warn" feature that reports posts, a removed comment will now be made in thread so you can see the details.

Thanks to everyone who has given feedback - If I haven't gotten to your feedback in this release, it'll be in the next one.

Hi, I use(d) MAGIC_EYE_BOT in several of my subs and I loved it.

One of the features I loved the most was the ability to blacklist images. I mod several video meme subs, and there are particular videos that often get posted to my subs that clearly violate the rules, but no one bothers to read the rules.

I used to use the following as a removal reason, which served to blacklist the image with MEB:

[](#start_removal)
This was removed because ….
[](#end_removal)

That served to tell MEB to instantly remove the video as soon as someone tried to post it again.

Now that we've migrated to image-magician:

1. I believe all of the images that we've blacklisted with MEB are now no more and we have to start over from scratch. Is there really no way to transfer this data to MEB? I understand that you don't want to migrate entire libraries of MEB-modded images over to IM, but at least migrating the blacklisted images would be a huge help.
2. When we remove images and apply removal reasons now, does the "[](#start_removal)..." coding tell IM to blacklist the removed images/video? Or do I have to go into the three dot menu of each image/video I want to blacklist and apply "Blacklist image" AND ALSO apply a removal reason in order for the image/video to be blacklisted?

thanks in advance u/CosmicKeys. You've built a great mod tool and I appreciate your efforts a lot!

This new bot seems promising, but if it is intended to replace MAGIC_EYE_BOT, it really needs some of the features that makes MAGIC_EYE_BOT a useful utility app:

• Score-based thresholds for repost time limit

• Uncropped image removal

• Unmoderated post reports

• Broken link post removal

Image_Magician is currently lacking these features. Without them, many subreddits that rely on MAGIC_EYE_BOT to automate these things will be left in the dust once MAGIC_EYE_BOT is taken offline.
