Other Notes
- Going straight from 2.0.0-Beta3 to 2.1.0, because so many new features have been added
2.0.0-Beta3
🟢 Beta Update: Beta2 → Beta3
- New "Sensitive Smart" Mode: Runs mostly the same tests as Auto Smart Mode, but with a much lower threshold to identify a spam comment. Catches more spammers at the cost of more false positives.
- Improvements to Auto Smart mode, now catches additional types of spammers
🔵 Beta Update: Beta1 → Beta2
- MASSIVE Upgrades to Auto-Smart Mode: Now also detects sex spam bots with very high accuracy
- Huge amount of filtering logic added to find the large variety of these types of bots
- Auto-Smart mode can now detect bots with look-alike usernames
- Sample list now shows number of comments by each author
- Better detection of potential false positives from replies
- Filter now ignores uploader's comments regardless of who is scanning
- Bug Fix: Fixed program not closing when it's supposed to after checking for updates
- Bug Fix: Fixed incorrect removal of certain characters from scanning strings
Major New Features:
- Ability to create config file and run program completely autonomously, including deletion of comments for certain modes
- Program gives option to create default config file automatically, user can change as many or few settings as they wish
- Now able to scan both comment text and usernames simultaneously using any of the filtering sub-modes
- New 'Recovery Mode' option to re-instate previously deleted comments. Requires the log file from when they were deleted, or at least the list of comment IDs.
- Now able to choose removal type, either 'Hold For Review', 'Delete', or even just report comments for spam. Anyone can now report spam comments on other peoples' channels (using auto smart mode only)
- Added "match samples" at end of printing comments list to easily spot false positives. Sample prints only 1 comment per author found, each in one line. In log file, also prints each author's channel ID
- Ability to exclude selected users before deletion or reporting
Other New Features
- Program now auto checks for updates (can be disabled in config), and also has manual update checking
Other Improvements
- Auto Smart Mode Improvements:
- Now searches both comment text and author usernames
- Adds logic to avoid false-positives from users mentioning spammers when replying to them
- Now even smarter with additional detection methods
- Program now completely ignores the current user's own comments
- MUCH faster displaying results and writing them to log file (bottleneck is now mostly the YouTube API)
- Program will automatically create an error log file if a deletion fails
Bug Fixes:
- MacOS Only: The GUI component (searching individual special characters) should work now, but requires manually installing the latest python version.
- Should now exit properly when closing, instead of showing a bunch of exception text
