Downvote Delete

Downvote Delete watches newly submitted posts and takes action when a post is downvoted too much.

Community members downvote instead of reporting, so use that signal!

What It Does

Downvote Delete can:

  • Watch new posts for 2, 4, or 6 hours.
  • Detect when a post reaches configured negative scores (-1 through -5).
  • Stops watching posts that grow positively (+3, +5 or +10).
  • Ignore manually approved posts.
  • Stop tracking posts that are already removed, filtered, spammed, deleted, or unavailable.

Downvote Delete watches posts only. It does not track comments or scan older posts. Use Crowd Control to automatically filter downvoted comments.

What the app does NOT do:

Downvote Delete will not:

  • Track comments - use crowd control for this.
  • Scan old posts from before installation.
  • Action manually approved posts.
  • Action the same tracked post more than once.
  • Continue watching posts that were already moderated or deleted.
