Hi, thanks for the message. The bot uses two Python scripts to 1) log in through the API and 2) scan posts for terms defined in a blacklist, some of which may use regular expressions, as well as 3) a recurring task on the operating system to run the file in intervals of one minute. I have some documentation via a "how-to" guide on setting it up yourself here if you're interested. The code files linked there could use some touch-ups, but they definitely work fine and I've tried to include as many resources as I could so that anyone with a rudimentary understanding of programming techniques can understand and extend the functionality as needed. The blacklist is user-defined, it's just a matter of implementation.

Running the bot yourself requires that a PC be on 24/7, or else the scripts will obviously not be called upon. It also can't run at full speed unless the bot account you're using has the  flag enabled in a group it is a member of. My bot has global rights and is not bound by server rate limits, and I'm actually quite partial to the Bloons series (I've played it on/off since the very first game), so if you would like me to handle the day-to-day operation of the filter, I would be happy to accommodate.
