Why does this update from my mod keep getting rejected

[xblazegmd]

Asking for help here cuz I don't have Discord or any way to contact Index Mods to ask for feedback

The mod I made is called CommentMentions (link to the repo here). It's a mod who's intention is to notify you every time someone mentions your name in a comment section (like the daily level). As you can imagine the daily chat loved it lol

There was an issue tho. There were lots of ppl spamming "@everyone" every 10 seconds or so causing you to get a ton of notifications. I tried fixing it in beta 4 with filtering for inappropriate words and a blacklist for users so if someone spams "@everyone" you can add them to the blacklist and no notifications appear from that user

Then a while later I tried uploading the beta 5 update. This update added an easy toggle for "@everyone", added this "compression" thing where if you get more than x mentions you get a single "X new mentions!" notification instead of multiple (to try and control spamming), and stuff like that. It got rejected

I assumed it was cuz I hardcoded blocking notifications from 2 specific users (for like no reason at all I have the mind of an 8 year old ;-;), so I removed that and did some code cleanup cuz my code was becoming a mess, uploaded beta 6, rejected as well.

Now idk what is causing it to be rejected. I'm too tired to check rn so this is why I'm asking for help here. It doesn't seem to break anything that I know of, but I could maybe be missing smth very bad. So yeah

(also if anyone could help me clean up my messy code I would highly appreciate it I suck at coding 😭)

hi, you should be able to view the reasons for a mod rejection through the cli/on the index website.

anyways, just to repost the last reason:

you are still namedropping people in both changelogs and main.cpp. please omit their names from changelog.md and your FLAlertLayer popups.

this does not apply to your changelists on github releases; the index does not care about the contents in those areas.

you were correct in that the user blacklist was causing you to be rejected (due to index rules on harassment), but didn't fully clean it up 🫠

Never even knew I could look up mod rejection reasons lol (the more you know)

It should probably be a bit more clear that you can view mod rejection reasons
