🎉 [2.16] New Features:

  • ### Stolen Comment Detection
    - New ability to detect users who copied and reposted an existing comment
    - By default, is only enabled in Sensitive-Smart mode, but can be enabled in any mode through config option stolen_comments_check_modes
    - By default, it detects exact matches for speed. But with config setting fuzzy_stolen_comment_detection, you can check comments that are similar. Uses the same levenshtein_distance value as when detecting duplicates
    - Note: Fuzzy stolen comment detection is much slower, and required time is exponentially proportional to the number of comments
  • ### Ability to Set Custom Directory for Config Files
    • You can now use a new config setting called configs_path to choose where to put secondary config files
    • If you keep the new default location as 'configs', you can also put the main config file in there too
      • Otherwise, at least the main config file must be kept in the same place as the program, so it knows where to look

📈 [2.16] Other Improvements

  • #### Match sample lists are now sorted by number of comments per author (highest to lowest)
  • #### Match sample list now shows warning if some comments are possible false positives, and highlights them
  • #### Filter mode selection menu now better illustrates which modes can be used in "Not Your Channel Mode" and Moderator Mode
  • #### Log files will now include a list of the videos or community posts that were scanned
  • #### Log files now display timestamps of comments (except not community posts for now)
  • #### New colors_enabled config setting, which allows disabling colored text if necessary
  • #### Many filtering and detection improvements

[2.16] Other Changes & Fixes

  • Added a few additional startup messages to help narrow down slow startups for some people
  • When displaying spam threads sample list, if the video is title has investment related keywords, added notice to be extra vigilant in checking false positives of spam thread results
  • Completely re-worked filter variable intake. Variables no longer use encoded obfuscation, instead precompiled regex is directly loaded, improving loading speed. Filter variables now exist in filter_variables.py
  • Fixed a blocking prompt on chosenVideos mode even if skip_confirm_video is True
  • Fixed issue where excluding multiple times back to back would cause duplicate whitelist entries

Beta1 → Beta2:

  • New stolen comment detection feature
  • Reworked filter variable intake
  • Added colors_enabled config setting

🟢 Beta2 → Beta3:

  • Fixed Various Crashes including #653, #654
  • In match samples list, added warning if some comments are possible false positives, and highlights them
  • Log file now includes timestamp of each comment
  • Moved confusable modules to local, with slightly modified version. Added several custom confusable characters that weren't being detected. Should further improve spam detection in some cases.
  • Added some filters for comments targeted at specific large channels including Markiplier & Jacksepticeye, and that often overflow elsewhere
  • Improved / fixed behavior of certain regex filters. Converted remaining filter lists to regex. Should improve filtering ability
