New Users

The filter is commonly used to remove content from new users.

Avoid filtering new user content when possible to prevent negative experiences.

This example filters posts or comments from users whose accounts are less than 7 days old and have less than 50 score:

# 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

minutes or hours can be used instead of days.

Content Filtering

Filter content where a user with less than 500 score mentions lemons:

# 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
