New Users

Often, the filter is used to remove content from newer users.

We recommend avoiding filtering content from new users where possible, in order to ensure their experience is not negative.

This is an example which filters posts or comments which come from a user whose account is less than 7 days old and their score is less than 50.

# Account Age
priority: -100
type: any
action: filter
action_reason: "Account is new (age)"
account_age: < 7 days


---

# Account Score (comments only)
priority: -100
type: comment
action: filter
action_reason: "Account is new (score)"
account_score: < 50

Note that you could also use minutes or hours, instead of days.

Content Filtering

In order to filter content where a user with less than 500 score is talking about lemons, you can do the following.

# NEW USERS: talking about lemons
priority: -100
type: any
domain+content+title (regex, includes): ['lemon']
action: filter
action_reason: "Potential lemon talk"
account_score: < 500
