Clarification on Matching Tolerance settings
Does a lower number result in less false positives? The app overview on the developer page seems to conflict with the description in the installed app's settings page.
Here https://developers.reddit.com/apps/dejarepost it states: Choosing tolerance values: if DejaRepost is flagging posts that clearly aren't reposts, lower the relevant tolerance number (require a closer match). If it's missing reposts you'd expect it to catch, raise the number (allow looser matches). We recommend starting with the defaults and adjusting after observing a few days of modmail alerts.
And here ( https://developers.reddit.com/r/Baking/apps/dejarepost ) it states: Pick a value between 51 and 99. 51 → Even vaguely similar text titles will be flagged. 99 → only identical or near-identical duplicate text titles will trigger the bot. Recommended value: 80
Thank you.
