Major New Feature😤: Duplicate & Similar Comment Detection

• Detect spammers who leave duplicate comments even if they slightly modify every single one of them

• Uses Levenshtein Distance algorithm for similarity analysis
• Three New Config Settings:
  • duplicate_check_modes : Enable/Disable duplicate detection on any filter modes
  • levenshtein_distance : Set the similarity threshold for duplicate comment detection
  • minimum_duplicates : Set the how many duplicate/similar comments someone has to leave before they are flagged

Other Big New Features 👏:

• Now when removing comments using a list/log file, you can choose to only delete some of them, and the program will save your progress, so you can continue where you left off later
  • Ideal for deleting huge lists of comments
  • Automatically saves progress files and allows you to choose them later
• Now if an error occurs during scanning, such as hitting the quota limit, the program will skip the rest of the scan and create a log file based on the partial scan (no longer forcing you to exit)

Other Improvements:

• Now when excluding commenters, you can enter ranges of numbers too (such as 'exclude 1, 3-6, 5, 9-10')
• Whitelist is now re-loaded immediately after excluding authors, so it applies to other scans in same session

Other Changes:

• Detection of "link spam" (comments where it is nothing but a youtube link) is now disabled by default but can be enabled in the config via new detect_link_spam option

2.12.0 → 2.12.1:

• Fixed bug where comments from the channel owner, current user, and whitelist users were not being ignored during duplicate scanning

🟢 2.12.1 → 2.12.2:

• Fixed UnicodeEncodingError that could occur when creating deletion error log file
