Post Body

We've seen a lot of moderators ask how to ban users using Automod based on certain words---and you can't, so we built a dead-simple bot to do so.

Pop the words you don't want in words.txt, configure the account credentials in config.json, and let it run forever. When a user is banned, a configurable message can be sent to them, and a note is added on the moderator side with the word they were flagged for and the link to the comment.

Built using just PRAW->commentstreams regex expressions.
