Getting started with Layer 7
At the core of all our services is TheSentinelBot, which makes all the magic happen. Rather than have multiple bots, we have all our services under one bot. And these services can all be turned off or on through our website.
Step 1: Add The Sentinel to your team
Due to Reddit's API rate limits, we have multiple instances (bot accounts) of TheSentinelBot. Follow these instructions to figure out which bot to add:
- Check the number of subscribers your subreddit has
- If the sum of a bot's Current Subscribers and your subscribers is less than Max Subscribers, then you can add that bot
- At a minimum the bot needs the
postspermission.

Step 2: Login!
Once you've logged in, you can go to https://layer7.solutions/prefs/r/YOUR_SUBREDDIT
to enable or disable features of TheSentinelBot.
Media Blacklisting
One of the most powerful capabilities we have is media blacklisting. This allows a subreddit to blacklist an entire media channel (Youtube channels, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc.), and know that regardless of which users make a link post, self post, or comment including a link to that media channel, it will be removed. In addition to a local subreddit blacklist that you manage, we also have a global blacklist controlled by the moderators of /r/Layer7 and /r/TheSentinelBot to ensure that global spam is met with swift action.
Advanced Mod logs
Overcome the limitations of the modlog and search in any way imaginable: such as inputting a thing id and seeing all actions related to that post or comment, searching by author, mod, title, etc. If you set an action_reason in AutoModerator, you can even filter by that enabling you to see how useful your AutoMod rules are. You can even build a mod matrix in less than a second allowing you to know who's the powermod in your group, or what the most common actions are.
