I'm on desktop and would like to require the use of 1 of 3 specific keywords before allowing to submit a post when selecting a specific flair. Basically the same as this sub requiring the platform stated.

So when users in my sub choose the issues/bugs flair, they can only submit the post if they either have pc, Xbox or Playstation in body or title.

Checked the search, couldn't find an answer to my question (I'm probably blind). I'm sorry if this has been answered before, only found posts about asking how to make flairs a requirement (which we already have).

Tldr: Check even legit t-shirt posts for scam links!

I know this kind of spam is ancient and basically everyone has seen it in one way or another all over the internet.

But on my sub there has been a new variant of it, at least new to me.

It seems that bots (or people behaving like bots) scan Reddit for pics of T-shirt and then create the shirt on their internet store. I've had it happen twice now that the T-shirt design was unique and created by op themselves, ops with active accounts (long history of current activity that looks very human).

Then another legit user (I checked them, they had old and recent, human activity on our sub) commented something like "cool shirt" or something similar.

Then a bit later a hacked account dropped in with the typical "Here you go, I have the same one."

The hacked account is the only thing not legit in both scenarios.

The first time it happened the account got banned by Reddit before I could really check it. The second time I could check their history. For around the last 2 weeks they have been posting these comments on random subs on t-shirt-posts that they just take and add the design to their shop-site. The links consist of different link shorteners not caught by Reddit filters.

Maybe this has already been talked about, maybe everyone knows this already. I thought I knew it and could recognize spam posts. But I got fooled both times as the posts were actually legit. Both ops contacted me via modmail after not understanding why their posts were removed.
