What happened: User ravoniokea posted a self-moderated announcement in which he is trying to advertise a bot which is actually malware
Thank you, Jerome, for making the community safe,
If the OP of these Self-Moderated topics did not explain his purpose in creating them in this way, then this is sufficient evidence of his malicious intent.
Although this scammer has been banned and his topic was deleted, which he published as a self-moderated ANN topic in order to prevent members from writing replies that expose his malicious bot that contains malwares, he can publish more topics using more stolen accounts such as those that wrote him positive feedbacks and posts positive replies in his topics, So each member must not download anything on his primary device to try it through self-moderated topics that are created by new members whose accounts have been newly created.
In most sections, you now have the option of marking topics self-moderated when creating them. In self-moderated topics, the OP can delete replies. The option for enabling this is under "additional options". Topics cannot be converted to self-moderated topics after creation.
There are no rules to self-moderation. In self-moderated threads, replies belong to the OP.
