Summary

Screenshots: http://roguedarkjedi.imgur.com/spam_notifier

This addon helps subreddit moderators by alerting them of new spam/reports in their subreddits. No longer will they have to check it periodically, this addon will alert them as soon as new entries appear in their modqueue.


Additional notes

  • The script will do NOTHING if you are not a moderator of any subreddit. Don't bother installing if you don't mod a sub.

  • When you first install this, do note that you'll probably be told that you have new items. This is just the script reacting to initial data. Once you check your queue, it will not light up until you get new items again.

  • Checking your queue is the way to make it understand you have read these items.

  • You can run into false positives, but it should be extremely rare with version 1.3, let me know if this isn't the case.

Gives me a ton of false positives.

This is a very handy little tool. I'd give it 5 stars with one modification: Make a different greyed-out symbol for when there is no spam. I'm color-blind, and the difference between spam and no-spam isn't readily apparent to me. (This is also true of the red envelope when I have mail... but that's a different group of folks, I'm sure.)
