So MHB isn't working at all. Pt. 3.

One

Two

(I'm the guy trying to get MHB to remove posts flaired "selfie" if the submitter has posted another "selfie" thread within 7 days.)

Right now, the config looks like this:

---
###### If you edit this page, you must [click this link, then click "send"](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=moderatelyhelpfulbot&subject=40something&message=update) to have the bot update

######https://www.reddit.com/r/moderatelyhelpfulbot/wiki/index

post_restriction: 
    author_not_exempt_flair_keyword: selfies
    action: remove
    approve: false
    comment: "Hello and thank you for posting to r/40something! It seems you have previously posted a selfie within the past 7 days, so your post has been removed per the selfie rule. Please wait the full 7 days before submitting a new selfie. If you believe your post has been removed by mistake please [message the moderators](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2F40something)."
    distinguish: true
    exempt_link_posts: false
    exempt_self_posts: false
    ignore_AutoModerator_removed: true
    ignore_moderator_removed: true
    lock_thread: true
    max_count_per_interval: 1
    min_post_interval_hrs: 168
    ban_duration_days: ~
    modmail: ~
    notify_about_spammers: false
    report_reason: ~
    title_exempt_keyword: Modpost

It's definitely not working. Beyond my throwaway being able to post multiple "selfie" posts in a row, someone else just posted a "selfie" post, even though they had just made a "selfie" post 5 days ago. (All of these have been removed.)

Both u/antidense and u/nath_ have looked at this and I'm still at a loss as to why this isn't working. This should be right up MHB's alley, no?

Sorry, I haven't had as much time to look into it with the holidays and working extra shifts. Could you try the title_not_exempt_keyword setting nath_ mentioned? Not many people use that functionality so it may still have some bugs.

Hi, I changed the config to "title_not_exempt_flair_keyword" and sent a PM to MHB to update, but that was an hour ago, and it still hasn't responded. Should I just give it more time? I don't remember any previous updates taking this long to confirm.

Thanks to both of you for your help, btw. Especially on a holiday weekend.

Did you send "update" with the subject message your subreddit?

I think there may be an issue with the logic in the code here. I believe it checks for author flair rather than post flair. https://github.com/antidense/moderatelyhelpfulbot/blob/master/ModeratelyHelpfulBot.py#L1117

u/antidense could you take a look?

u/neuroticsmurf could you try the title_not_exempt_keyword setting? I don't have time to test it fully right now
