-## Installation
+___
 
+[Learn more about the RCB lifecycle and core concepts in the docs.](/docs#how-it-works)
 
-### Locally
+## Getting Started
 
-Clone this repository somewhere and then install from the working directory
+#### Operators
 
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/FoxxMD/reddit-context-bot.git .
-cd reddit-context-bot
-npm install
-```
+This guide is for users who want to **run their own bot on a ContextMod instance.**
 
-### [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/foxxmd/reddit-context-bot)
+See the [Operator's Getting Started Guide](/docs/gettingStartedOperator.md)
 
-```
-foxxmd/reddit-context-bot:latest
-```
+#### Moderators
 
-Adding [**environmental variables**](#usage) to your `docker run` command will pass them through to the app EX:
-```
-docker run -e "CLIENT_ID=myId" ... foxxmd/reddit-context-bot
-```
+This guide is for **reddit moderators** who want to configure an existing CM bot to run on their subreddit.
 
-## Configuration
+See the [Moderator's Getting Started Guide](/docs/gettingStartedMod.md)
 
-Context Bot's [configuration schema](/src/Schema/App.json) conforms to [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) Draft 7.
+## Configuration and Documentation
 
-I suggest using [Atlassian JSON Schema Viewer](https://json-schema.app/start) ([direct link](https://json-schema.app/view/%23?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Freddit-context-bot%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json)) so you can view all documentation while also interactively writing and validating your config! From there you can drill down into any object, see its requirements, view an example JSON document, and live-edit your configuration on the right-hand side.
+Context Bot's configuration can be written in JSON, [JSON5](https://json5.org/) or YAML. Its schema conforms to [JSON Schema Draft 7](https://json-schema.org/). Additionally, many **operator** settings can be passed via command line or environmental variables.
 
-### Action Templating
+* For **operators** (running the bot instance) see the [Operator Configuration](/docs/operatorConfiguration.md) guide
+* For **moderators** consult the [app schema and examples folder](/docs/#configuration-and-usage)
 
-Actions that can submit text (Report, Comment) will have their `content` values run through a [Mustache Template](https://mustache.github.io/). This means you can insert data generated by Rules into your text before the Action is performed.
+[**Check the full docs for in-depth explanations of all concepts and examples**](/docs)
 
-See here for a [cheatsheet](https://gist.github.com/FoxxMD/d365707cf99fdb526a504b8b833a5b78) and [here](https://www.tsmean.com/articles/mustache/the-ultimate-mustache-tutorial/) for a more thorough tutorial.
+## Web UI and Screenshots
 
-All Actions with `content` have access to this data:
+### Dashboard
 
-```json5
-{
-    item: {
-        kind: 'string', // the type of item (comment/submission)
-        author: 'string', // name of the item author (reddit user)
-        permalink: 'string', // a url to the item
-        url: 'string', // if the item is a Submission then its URL (external for link type submission, reddit link for self-posts)
-        title: 'string', // if the item is a Submission, then the title of the Submission
-    },
-    rules: {
-        // contains all rules that were run and are accessible using the name, lowercased, with all spaces/dashes/underscores removed
-    }
-}
+CM comes equipped with a dashboard designed for use by both moderators and bot operators.
 
-```
+* Authentication via Reddit OAuth -- only accessible if you are the bot operator or a moderator of a subreddit the bot moderates
+* Connect to multiple ContextMod instances (specified in configuration)
+* Monitor API usage/rates
+* Monitoring and administration **per subreddit:**
+  * Start/stop/pause various bot components
+  * View statistics on bot usage (# of events, checks run, actions performed) and cache usage
+  * View various parts of your subreddit's configuration and manually update configuration
+  * View **real-time logs** of what the bot is doing on your subreddit
+  * **Run bot on any permalink**
 
-The properties of `rules` are accessible using the name, lower-cased, with all spaces/dashes/underscores. If no name is given `kind` is used as `name` Example:
+![Subreddit View](docs/screenshots/subredditStatus.jpg)
 
-```
-"rules": [
-  {
-    "name": "My Custom-Recent Activity Rule", // mycustomrecentactivityrule
-    "kind": "recentActivity"
-  },
-  {
-    // name = repeatsubmission
-    "kind": "repeatSubmission",
-  }
-]
-```
+### Bot Setup/Authentication
 
-**To see what data is available for individual Rules [consult the schema](#configuration) for each Rule.**
+A bot oauth helper allows operators to define oauth credentials/permissions and then generate unique, one-time invite links that allow moderators to authenticate their own bots without operator assistance. [Learn more about using the oauth helper.](docs/botAuthentication.md#cm-oauth-helper-recommended)
 
-#### Quick Templating Tutorial
+Operator view/invite link generation:
 
-<details>
+![Oauth View](docs/screenshots/oauth.jpg)
 
-As a quick example for how you will most likely be using templating -- wrapping a variable in curly brackets, `{{variable}}`, will cause the variable value to be rendered instead of the brackets:
-```
-myVariable = 50;
-myOtherVariable = "a text fragment"
-template = "This is my template, the variable is {{myVariable}}, my other variable is {{myOtherVariable}}, and that's it!";
+Moderator view/invite and authorization:
 
-console.log(Mustache.render(template, {myVariable});
-// will render...
-"This is my template, the variable is 50, my other variable is a text fragment, and that's it!";
-```
+![Invite View](docs/screenshots/oauth-invite.jpg)
 
-**Note: When accessing an object or its properties you must use dot notation**
-```
-const item = {
-aProperty: 'something',
-anotherObject: {
-bProperty: 'something else'
-}
-}
-const content = "My content will render the property {{item.aProperty}} like this, and another nested property {{item.anotherObject.bProperty}} like this."
-```
-</details>
+### Configuration Editor
 
-### Example Config
+A built-in editor using [monaco-editor](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/) makes editing configurations easy:
 
-Below is a configuration fulfilling the example given at the start of this readme:
+* Automatic JSON syntax validation and formatting
+* Automatic Schema (subreddit or operator) validation
+* All properties are annotated via hover popups
+* Unauthenticated view via `yourdomain.com/config`
+* Authenticated view loads subreddit configurations by simple link found on the subreddit dashboard
+* Switch schemas to edit either subreddit or operator configurations

-### Reddit App??
-
-To use this bot you must do two things:
-* Create a reddit application
-* Authenticate that application to act as a user (login to the application with an account)
-
-#### Create Application
-
-Visit [your reddit preferences](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps) and at the bottom of the page go through the **create an(other) app** process.
-* Choose **script**
-* For redirect uri use https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/reddit-oauth-helper/
-* Write down your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** somewhere
-
-#### Authenticate an Account
-
-Visit https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/reddit-oauth-helper/
-* Input your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** in the text boxes with those names.
-* Choose scopes. **It is very important you check everything on this list or Context Bot will not work correctly**
-    * edit
-    * flair
-    * history
-    * identity
-    * modcontributors
-    * modflair
-    * modposts
-    * modself
-    * mysubreddits
-    * read
-    * report
-    * submit
-    * wikiread
-* Click **Generate tokens*, you will get a popup asking you to approve access (or login) -- **the account you approve access with is the account that Bot will control.**
-* After approving an **Access Token** and **Refresh Token** will be shown at the bottom of the page. Write these down. 
-  
-You should now have all the information you need to start the bot.

+
+## Getting Started
+
+Review **at least** the **How It Works** and **Concepts** below, then:
+
+* For **Operators** (running a bot instance) refer to [**Operator Getting Started**](/docs/gettingStartedOperator.md)  guide
+* For **Moderators** (configuring an existing bot for your subreddit) refer to the [**Moderator Getting Started**](/docs/gettingStartedMod.md) guide
+
+## How It Works
+
+Where possible Context Mod (CM) uses the same terminology as, and emulates the behavior, of **automoderator** so if you are familiar with that much of this may seem familiar to you.
+
+CM's lifecycle looks like this:
+
+#### 1) A new event in your subreddit is received by CM
+
+The events CM watches for are configured by you. These can be new modqueue/unmoderated items, submissions, or comments.
+
+#### 2) CM sequentially processes each Check in your configuration
+
+A **Check** is a set of:
+
+* One or more **Rules** that define what conditions should **trigger** this Check
+* One or more **Actions** that define what the bot should do once the Check is **triggered**
+
+#### 3) Each Check is processed, *in order*, until a Check is triggered
+
+Once a Check is **triggered** no more Checks will be processed. This means all subsequent Checks in your configuration (in the order you listed them) are basically skipped.
+
+#### 4) All Actions from that Check are executed
+
+After all Actions are executed CM returns to waiting for the next Event.
+
+## Concepts
+
+Core, high-level concepts regarding how CM works.
+
+### Checks
+
+A **Check** is the main logical unit of behavior for the bot. It is equivalent to "if X then Y". A Check is comprised of:
+
+* One or more **Rules** that are tested against an **Activity**
+* One of more **Actions** that are performed when the **Rules** are satisfied
+
+The bot's configuration can be made up of one or more **Checks** that are processed **in the order they are listed in the configuration.**
+
+Once a Check is **triggered** (its Rules are satisfied and Actions performed) all subsequent Checks are skipped.
+
+Some other important concepts regarding Checks:
+
+* All Checks have a **kind** (defined in the configuration) that determine if they should run on **Submissions** or **Comments**
+* Checks have a **condition** property that determines when they are considered **triggered**
+  * If the **condition** is `AND` then ALL of their **Rules** must be **triggered** for the Check to be **triggered**
+  * If the **condition** is `OR` then if ANY **Rules** is triggered **triggered** then the Check is **triggered**
+
+Examples of different types of Checks can be found in the [subreddit-ready examples.](/docs/examples/subredditReady)
+  
+### Rule
+
+A **Rule** is some set of **criteria** (conditions) that are tested against an Activity (comment/submission), a User, or a User's history. A Rule is considered **triggered** when the **criteria** for that rule are found to be **true** for whatever is being tested against.
+
+There are generally three main properties for a Rule:
+
+* **Critiera** -- The conditions/values you want to test for.
+* **Activities Window** -- If applicable, the range of activities that the **criteria** will be tested against.
+* **Rule-specific options** -- Any number of options that modify how the **criteria** are tested.
+
+CM has different **Rules** that can test against different types of behavior and aspects of a User, their history, and the Activity (submission/common) being checked.
+
+#### Available Rules
+Find detailed descriptions of all the Rules, with examples, below:
+
+* [Attribution](/docs/examples/attribution)
+* [Recent Activity](/docs/examples/recentActivity)
+* [Repeat Activity](/docs/examples/repeatActivity)
+* [History](/docs/examples/history)
+* [Author](/docs/examples/author)
+* [Regex](/docs/examples/regex)
+
+### Rule Set
+
+A **Rule Set** is a "grouped" set of `Rules` with a **trigger condition** specified. 
+
+Rule Sets can be used interchangeably with other **Rules** and **Rule Sets** in the `rules` list of a **Check**. 
+
+They allow you to create more complex trigger behavior by combining multiple rules into one "parent rule".
+
+It consists of:
+
+* **condition** -- Under what condition should the Rule Set be considered triggered?
+  * `AND` -- ALL Rules in the Rule Set must **trigger** in order for the Rule Set to **trigger.**
+  * `OR` -- ANY Rule in the Rule Set that is **triggered** will trigger the whole Rule Set.
+* **rules** -- The **Rules** for the Rule Set.
+
+Example
+```json5
+{
+  "condition": "AND",
+  "rules": [
+    // all the rules go here
+  ]
+}
+```
+#### Rule Set Examples
+
+* [**Detailed Example**](/docs/examples/advancedConcepts/ruleSets.json5)
+
+### Action
+
+An **Action** is some action the bot can take against the checked Activity (comment/submission) or Author of the Activity. CM has Actions for most things a normal reddit user or moderator can do.
+
+#### Available Actions
+
+* Remove (Comment/Submission)
+* Flair (Submission)
+* Ban (User)
+* Approve (Comment/Submission)
+* Comment (Reply to Comment/Submission)
+* Lock (Comment/Submission)
+* Report (Comment/Submission)
+* [UserNote](/docs/examples/userNotes) (User, when /r/Toolbox is used)
+
+For detailed explanation and options of what individual Actions can do [see the links in the `actions` property in the schema.](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionCheckJson?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json)
+
+### Filters
+
+**Checks, Rules, and Actions** all have two additional (optional) criteria "tests". These tests behave differently than rule/check triggers in that:
+
+* When they **pass** the thing being tested continues to process as usual
+* When they **fail** the thing being tested **is skipped, not failed.**
+
+For **Checks** and **Actions** skipping means that the thing is not processed. The Action is not run, the Check is not triggered.
+
+In the context of **Rules** (in a Check) skipping means the Rule does not get run BUT it does not fail. The Check will continue processing as if the Rule did not exist. However, if ALL Rules in a Check are skipped then the Check does "fail" (is not triggered).
+
+#### Available Filters
+
+##### Item Filter (`itemIs`)
+
+This filter will test against the **state of the Activity currently being run.** Some criteria available to test against IE "Is the activity...":
+
+* removed
+* nsfw
+* locked
+* stickied
+* deleted
+* etc...
+
+The `itemIs` filter is made up of an array (list) of `State` criteria objects. **All** criteria in the array must pass for this filter to pass.
+
+There are two different State criteria depending on what type of Activity is being tested:
+
+* Submission -- [SubmissionState](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionState?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json)
+* Comment -- [CommentState](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FCommentCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FCommentState?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json)
+
+##### Author Filter (`authorIs`)
+
+This filter will test against the **Author of the Activity currently being run.** Some criteria available to test against:
+
+* account age
+* comment, link, and total karma
+* subreddit flair text/css
+* name
+* User Notes
+* verified
+* etc...
+
+The `authorIs` filter is made up two (optional) lists of [`AuthorCriteria`](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorOptions/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorCriteria?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) criteria objects that define how the test behaves:
+
+* `include` list -- If **any** `AuthorCriteria` from this list passes then the `authorIs` test passes
+* `exclude` list -- If **any** `AuthorCriteria` from this list **does not pass** then the `authorIs` test passes. **Note:** This property is ignored if `include` is also present IE you cannot use both properties at the same time.
+
+Refer to the [app schema for `AuthorCriteria`](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FSubmissionCheckJson/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorOptions/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorCriteria?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) for all available properties to test against.
+
+Some examples of using `authorIs` can be found in the [Author examples.](/docs/examples/author)
+

+    * built-in editor that automatically validates your config
+
+## Common Resources
+
+Technical information on recurring, common data/patterns used in CM.
+
+### Activities `window`
+
+Most **Rules** must define the **range of Activities (submissions and/or comments)** that will be used to check the criteria of the Rule. This range is defined wherever you see a `window` property in configuration.
+
+Refer to the [Activities Window](/docs/activitiesWindow.md) documentation for a technical explanation with examples.
+
+### Thresholds and Comparisons
+
+Most rules/filters have criteria that require you to define a specific condition to test against. This can be anything from repeats of activities to account age.
+
+In all of these scenarios the condition is defined using a subset of [comparison operators](https://www.codecademy.com/articles/fwd-js-comparison-logical) (very similar to how automoderator does things).
+
+Available operators:
+
+* `<` -- **less than** => `5 < 6` => 5 is less than 6
+* `>` -- **greater than** => `6 > 5` => 6 is greater than 5
+* `<=` -- **less than or equal to** => `5 <= 5` => 5 is less than **or equal to** 5
+* `>=` -- **greater than or equal to** => `5 >= 5` => 5 is greater than **or equal to** 5
+
+In the context of a rule/filter comparison you provide the comparison **omitting** the value that is being tested. An example...
+
+The RepeatActivity rule has a `threshold` comparison to test against the number of repeat activities it finds
+
+* You want the rule to trigger if it finds **4 or more repeat activities**
+* The rule would be configured like this `"threshold": ">= 4"`
+
+Essentially what this is telling the rule is `threshold: "x >= 4"` where `x` is the largest repeat of activities it finds.
+
+#### Other Comparison Types
+
+Other than comparison numeric values there are two other values that can be compared (depending on the criteria)
+
+##### Percentages
+
+Some criteria accept an optional **percentage** to compare against:
+
+```
+"threshold": "> 20%"
+```
+
+Refer to the individual rule/criteria schema to see what this percentage is comparing against.
+
+##### Durations
+
+Some criteria accept an optional **duration** to compare against:
+
+```
+"threshold": "< 1 month"
+```
+
+The duration value compares a time range from **now** to `duration value` time in the past.
+
+Refer to [duration values in activity window documentation](/docs/activitiesWindow.md#duration-values) as well as the individual rule/criteria schema to see what this duration is comparing against.
+
+### Image Comparisons
+
+ContextMod implements two methods for comparing **image content**, perceptual hashing and pixel-to-pixel comparisons. Comparisons can be used to filter activities in some activities.
+
+See [image comparison documentation](/docs/imageComparison.md) for a full reference. 
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Named Rules
+
+All **Rules** in a subreddit's configuration can be assigned a **name** that can then be referenced from any other Check. 
+
+Create general-use rules so they can be reused and de-clutter your configuration. Additionally, CM will automatically cache the result of a rule so there is a performance and api usage benefit to re-using Rules.
+
+See [ruleNameReuse.json5](/docs/examples/advancedConcepts/ruleNameReuse.json5) for a detailed configuration with annotations.
+
+### Check Order
+
+Checks are run in the order they appear in your configuration, therefore you should place your highest requirement/severe action checks at the top and lowest requirement/moderate actions at the bottom.
+
+This is so that if an Activity warrants a more serious reaction that Check is triggered first rather than having a lower requirement check with less severe actions triggered and causing all subsequent Checks to be skipped.
+
+* Attribution >50% AND Repeat Activity 8x AND Recent Activity in 2 subs => remove submission + ban
+* Attribution >20% AND Repeat Activity 4x AND Recent Activity in 5 subs => remove submission + flair user restricted
+* Attribution >20% AND Repeat Activity 2x => remove submission
+* Attribution >20% AND History comments <30% => remove submission
+* Attribution >15% => report
+* Repeat Activity 2x => report
+* Recent Activity in 3 subs => report
+* Author not vetted => flair new user submission
+
+### Rule Order
+
+The ordering of your Rules within a Check/RuleSet can have an impact on Check performance (speed) as well as API usage.
+
+Consider these three rules:
+
+* Rule A -- Recent Activity => 3 subreddits => last 15 submissions
+* Rule B -- Repeat Activity => last 3 days
+* Rule C -- Attribution => >10% => last 90 days or 300 submissions
+
+The first two rules are lightweight in their requirements -- Rule A can be completed in 1 API call, Rule B potentially completed in 1 Api call.
+
+However, depending on how active the Author is, Rule C will take *at least* 3 API calls just to get all activities (Reddit limit 100 items per call).
+
+If the Check is using `AND` condition for its rules (default) then if either Rule A or Rule B fail then Rule C will never run. This means 3 API calls never made plus the time waiting for each to return.
+
+**It is therefore advantageous to list your lightweight Rules first in each Check.**
+
+### Caching
+
+ContextMod implements caching functionality for:
+
+* author history (`window` criteria in rules)
+* `authorIs` results
+* `content` that uses wiki pages (on Comment/Report/Ban Actions)
+* and User Notes
+
+All of these use api requests so caching them reduces api usage.
+
+Cached results can be re-used if the criteria in configuration is identical to a previously cached result. So...
+
+* author history cache results are re-used if **`window` criteria on a Rule is identical to the `window` on another Rule** IE always use **7 Days** or always use **50 Items** for absolute counts.
+* `authorIs` criteria is identical to another `authorIs` elsewhere in configuration..
+* etc...
+
+Re-use will result in less API calls and faster Check times.
+
+PROTIP: You can monitor the re-use of cache in the `Cache` section of your subreddit on the web interface. See the tooltips in that section for a better breakdown of cache statistics.

+Actions that can submit text (Report, Comment) will have their `content` values run through a [Mustache Template](https://mustache.github.io/). This means you can insert data generated by Rules into your text before the Action is performed.
+
+See here for a [cheatsheet](https://gist.github.com/FoxxMD/d365707cf99fdb526a504b8b833a5b78) and [here](https://www.tsmean.com/articles/mustache/the-ultimate-mustache-tutorial/) for a more thorough tutorial.
+
+All Actions with `content` have access to this data:
+
+```json5
+
+{
+    item: {
+        kind: 'string', // the type of item (comment/submission)
+        author: 'string', // name of the item author (reddit user)
+        permalink: 'string', // a url to the item
+        url: 'string', // if the item is a Submission then its URL (external for link type submission, reddit link for self-posts)
+        title: 'string', // if the item is a Submission, then the title of the Submission,

+
+The properties of `rules` are accessible using the name, lower-cased, with all spaces/dashes/underscores. If no name is given `kind` is used as `name` Example:

+
+#### Quick Templating Tutorial
+
+As a quick example for how you will most likely be using templating -- wrapping a variable in curly brackets, `{{variable}}`, will cause the variable value to be rendered instead of the brackets:
+
+```
+
+myVariable = 50;
+myOtherVariable = "a text fragment"
+template = "This is my template, the variable is {{myVariable}}, my other variable is {{myOtherVariable}}, and that's it!";
+
+console.log(Mustache.render(template, {myVariable});
+// will render...
+"This is my template, the variable is 50, my other variable is a text fragment, and that's it!";
+
+```
+
+**Note: When accessing an object or its properties you must use dot notation**
+
+```
+
+const item = {
+    aProperty: 'something',
+    anotherObject: {

+# Activity Window
+
+Most **Rules** have a `window` property somewhere within their configuration. This property defines the range of **Activities** (submission and/or comments) that should be retrieved for checking the criteria of the Rule.
+
+As an example if you want to run an **Recent Activity Rule** to check if a user has had activity in /r/mealtimevideos you also need to define what range of activities you want to look at from that user's history.
+
+## `window` property overview (tldr)
+
+The value of `window` can be any of these types:
+
+* `number` count of activities
+* `string` [duration](#duration-string-recommended) or [iso 8601](#an-iso-8601-duration-string)
+* [duration `object`](#duration-object)
+* [ActivityWindowCriteria `object`](#activitywindowcriteria)
+
+Examples of all of the above
+
+<details>
+
+```
+// count, last 100 activities
+{
+  "window": 100
+}
+
+// duration string, last 10 days
+{
+  "window": "10 days"
+}
+
+// duration object, last 2 months and 5 days
+{
+  "window": {
+    "months": 2,
+    "days": 5,
+  }
+}
+
+// iso 8601 string, last 15 minutes
+{
+  "window": "PT15M"
+}
+
+// ActivityWindowCriteria, last 100 activities or 6 weeks of activities (whichever is found first)
+{
+  "window": {
+    "count": 100,
+    "duration": "6 weeks"
+  }
+}
+```
+</details>
+
+## Types of Ranges
+
+There are two types of values that can be used when defining a range:
+
+### Count
+
+This is the **number** of activities you want to retrieve. It's straightforward -- if you want to look at the last 100 activities for a user you can use `100` as the value.
+
+### Duration
+
+A **duration of time** between which all activities will be retrieved. This is a **relative value** that calculates the actual range based on **the duration of time subtracted from when the rule is run.**
+
+For example:
+
+* Today is **July 15th**
+* You define a duration of **10 days**
+
+Then the range of activities to be retrieved will be between **July 5th and July 15th** (10 days).
+
+#### Duration Values
+
+The value used to define the duration can be **any of these three types**:
+
+##### Duration String (recommended)
+
+A string consisting of
+
+* A [Dayjs unit of time](https://day.js.org/docs/en/durations/creating#list-of-all-available-units)
+* The value of that unit of time
+
+Examples:
+
+* `9 days`
+* `14 hours`
+* `80 seconds`
+
+You can ensure your string is valid by testing it [here.](https://regexr.com/61em3)
+
+##### Duration Object
+
+If you need to specify multiple units of time for your duration you can instead provide a [Dayjs duration **object**](https://day.js.org/docs/en/durations/creating#list-of-all-available-units) consisting of Dayjs unit-values.
+
+Example
+
+```json
+{
+  "days": 4,
+  "hours": 6,
+  "minutes": 20
+}
+```
+
+##### An ISO 8601 duration string
+
+If you're a real nerd you can also use a [standard duration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations)) string.
+
+Examples
+
+* `PT15M` (15 minutes)
+
+Ensure your string is valid by testing it [here.](https://regexr.com/61em9)
+
+## ActivityWindowCriteria
+
+This is an object that lets you specify more granular conditions for your range.
+
+The full object looks like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "count": 100,
+  "duration": "10 days",
+  "satisfyOn": "any",
+  "subreddits": {
+    "include": ["mealtimevideos","pooptimevideos"],
+    "exclude": ["videos"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Specifying Range
+
+You may use **one or both range properties.**
+
+If both range properties are specified then the value `satisfyOn` determines how the final range is determined
+
+
+#### Using `"satisfyOn": "any"` (default)
+
+If **any** then Activities will be retrieved until one of the range properties is met, **whichever occurs first.**
+
+Example 
+```json
+{
+  "count": 80,
+  "duration": "90 days",
+  "satisfyOn": "any"
+}
+```
+Activities are retrieved in chunks of 100 (or `count`, whichever is smaller)
+
+* If 90 days of activities returns only 40 activities => returns 40 activities
+* If 80 activities is only 20 days of range => 80 activities
+
+#### Using `"satisfyOn": "all"`
+
+If **all** then both ranges must be satisfied. Effectively, whichever range produces the most Activities will be the one that is used.
+
+Example
+```json
+{
+  "count": 100,
+  "duration": "90 days",
+  "satisfyOn": "all"
+}
+```
+Activities are retrieved in chunks of 100 (or `count`, whichever is smaller)
+
+* If at 90 days of activities => 40 activities retrieved
+  * continue retrieving results until 100 activities
+  * so range is >90 days of activities
+* If at 100 activities => 20 days of activities retrieved
+  * continue retrieving results until 90 days of range
+  * so results in >100 activities
+
+### Filtering Activities

+You may filter retrieved Activities using an array of subreddits.
+
+**Note:** Activities are filtered **before** range check is made so you will always end up with specified range (but may require more api calls if many activities are filtered out)
+
+#### Include
+
+Use **include** to specify which subreddits should be included from results
+
+Example where only activities from /r/mealtimevideos and /r/modsupport will be returned
+```json
+{
+  "count": 100,
+  "duration": "90 days",
+  "satisfyOn": "any",
+  "subreddits": {
+    "include": ["mealtimevideos","modsupport"]
+  }
+}
+
+```
+
+#### Exclude
+
+Use **exclude** to specify which subreddits should NOT be in the results
+
+Example where activities from /r/mealtimevideos and /r/modsupport will not be returned in results
+```json
+{
+  "count": 100,
+  "duration": "90 days",
+  "satisfyOn": "any",
+  "subreddits": {
+    "exclude": ["mealtimevideos","modsupport"]
+  }
+}
+```
+**Note:** `exclude` will be ignored if `include` is also present.

+**Note:** This is for **bot operators.** If you are a subreddit moderator check out the **[Getting Started Guide](/docs/gettingStartedMod.md)**
+
+Before you can start using your bot on reddit there are a few steps you must take:
+
+* Create your bot account IE the reddit account that will be the "bot"
+* Create a Reddit application
+* Authenticate your bot account with the application
+
+At the end of this process you will have this info:
+
+* clientId
+* clientSecret
+* refreshToken
+* accessToken
+* redirectUri
+
+**Note:** If you already have this information you can skip this guide **but make sure your redirect uri is correct if you plan on using the web interface.**

+  * [Using CM OAuth Helper](#cm-oauth-helper-recommended)
+  * [Using Aardvark OAuth Helper](#aardvark-oauth-helper)
+* [Provide Credentials to CM](#provide-credentials-to-cm)
+
+# Create Application
+
+Visit [your reddit preferences](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps) and at the bottom of the page go through the **create an(other) app** process.
+* Give it a **name**
+* Choose **web app**
+* If you know what you will use for **redirect uri** go ahead and use it, otherwise use **http://localhost:8085/callback**
+
+Click **create app**.
+
+Then write down your **Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect Uri** somewhere (or keep this webpage open)
+
+# Authenticate Your Bot Account
+
+There are **two ways** you can authenticate your bot account. It is recommended to use the CM oauth helper.
+
+## CM OAuth Helper (Recommended)
+
+This method will use CM's built in oauth flow. It is recommended because it will ensure your bot is authenticated with the correct oauth permissions.
+
+### Start CM with Client ID/Secret and Operator
+
+Start the application and provide these to your configuration:
+
+* **Client ID** 
+* **Client Secret** 
+* **Redirect URI**
+* **Operator** 
+
+It is important you define **Operator** because the auth route is **protected.** You must login to the application in order to access the route.
+
+Refer to the [operator config guide](/docs/operatorConfiguration.md) if you need help with this.
+
+Examples:
+
+* CLI - `node src/index.js --clientId=myId --clientSecret=mySecret --redirectUri="http://localhost:8085/callback" --operator=FoxxMD`
+* Docker - `docker run -e "CLIENT_ID=myId" -e "CLIENT_SECRET=mySecret" -e "OPERATOR=FoxxMD" -e "REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8085/callback" foxxmd/context-mod`
+
+### Create An Auth Invite
+
+Then open the CM web interface (default is [http://localhost:8085](http://localhost:8085)) and login.
+
+After logging in you should be automatically redirected the auth page. If you are not then visit [http://localhost:8085/auth/helper](http://localhost:8085/auth/helper))
+
+Follow the directions in the helper to create an **auth invite link.** Open this link and then follow the directions to authenticate your bot. At the end of the process you will receive an **Access Token** and **Refresh Token**
+
+## Aardvark OAuth Helper
+
+This method should only be used if you cannot use the [CM OAuth Helper method](#cm-oauth-helper-recommended) because you cannot access the CM web interface.
+
+* Visit [https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/reddit-oauth-helper/](https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/reddit-oauth-helper/) and follow the instructions given.  
+  * **Note:** You will need to update your **redirect uri.**
+* Input your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** in the text boxes with those names.
+* Choose scopes. **It is very important you check everything on this list or CM may not work correctly**
+    * edit
+    * flair
+    * history
+    * identity
+    * modcontributors
+    * modflair
+    * modposts
+    * modself
+    * mysubreddits
+    * read
+    * report
+    * submit
+    * wikiread
+    * wikiedit (if you are using Toolbox User Notes)
+* Click **Generate tokens**, you will get a popup asking you to approve access (or login) -- **the account you approve access with is the account that Bot will control.**
+* After approving an **Access Token** and **Refresh Token** will be shown at the bottom of the page. Save these to use with CM.
+
+# Provide Credentials to CM
+
+At the end of the last step you chose you should now have this information saved somewhere:
+
+* clientId
+* clientSecret
+* refreshToken
+* accessToken
+* redirectUri
+
+This is all the information you need to run your bot with CM.
+
+Using these credentials follow the [operator config guide](/docs/operatorConfiguration.md) to finish setting up your CM instance.

+### Named Rules
+
+See [ruleNameReuse.json5](/docs/examples/advancedConcepts/ruleNameReuse.json5)
+
+### Check Order
+
+Checks are run in the order they appear in your configuration, therefore you should place your highest requirement/severe action checks at the top and lowest requirement/moderate actions at the bottom.
+
+This is so that if an Activity warrants a more serious reaction that Check is triggered first rather than having a lower requirement check with less severe actions triggered and causing all subsequent Checks to be skipped.
+
+* Attribution >50% AND Repeat Activity 8x AND Recent Activity in 2 subs => remove submission + ban
+* Attribution >20% AND Repeat Activity 4x AND Recent Activity in 5 subs => remove submission + flair user restricted
+* Attribution >20% AND Repeat Activity 2x => remove submission
+* Attribution >20% AND History comments <30% => remove submission
+* Attribution >15% => report
+* Repeat Activity 2x => report
+* Recent Activity in 3 subs => report
+* Author not vetted => flair new user submission
+
+### Rule Sets
+
+The `rules` array on a `Checks` can contain both `Rule` objects and `RuleSet` objects.
+
+A **Rule Set** is a "nested" set of `Rule` objects with a passing condition specified. These allow you to create more complex trigger behavior by combining multiple rules. 
+
+See **[ruleSets.json5](/docs/examples/advancedConcepts/ruleSets.json5)** for a complete example as well as consulting the [schema](https://json-schema.app/view/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FRuleSetJson?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json).
+
+### Rule Order
+
+The ordering of your Rules within a Check/RuleSet can have an impact on Check performance (speed) as well as API usage.
+
+Consider these three rules:
+
+* Rule A -- Recent Activity => 3 subreddits => last 15 submissions
+* Rule B -- Repeat Activity => last 3 days
+* Rule C -- Attribution => >10% => last 90 days or 300 submissions
+
+The first two rules are lightweight in their requirements -- Rule A can be completed in 1 API call, Rule B potentially completed in 1 Api call. 
+
+However, depending on how active the Author is, Rule C will take *at least* 3 API calls just to get all activities (Reddit limit 100 items per call).
+
+If the Check is using `AND` condition for its rules (default) then if either Rule A or Rule B fail then Rule C will never run. This means 3 API calls never made plus the time waiting for each to return.
+
+**It is therefore advantageous to list your lightweight Rules first in each Check.**
+
+### API Caching
+
+Context Mod implements some basic caching functionality for **Author Activities** and wiki pages (on Comment/Report Actions).
+
+**Author Activities** are cached for a subreddit-configurable amount of time (10 seconds by default). A cached activities set can be re-used if the **window on a Rule is identical to the window on another Rule**.
+
+This means that when possible you should re-use window values. 
+
+IE If you want to check an Author's Activities for a time range try to always use **7 Days** or always use **50 Items** for absolute counts.
+
+Re-use will result in less API calls and faster Check times.

+
+## Rule
+
+The **Author** rule triggers if any [AuthorCriteria](https://json-schema.app/view/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorCriteria?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) from a list are either **included** or **excluded**, depending on which property you put them in.
+
+**AuthorCriteria** that can be checked:
+* name (u/userName)
+* author's subreddit flair text
+* author's subreddit flair css
+* author's subreddit mod status
+* [Toolbox User Notes](/docs/examples/userNotes)
+
+The Author **Rule** is best used in conjunction with other Rules to short-circuit a Check based on who the Author is. It is easier to use a Rule to do this then to write **author filters** for every Rule (and makes Rules more re-useable).
+
+Consult the [schema](https://json-schema.app/view/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorRuleJSONConfig?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) for a complete reference of the rule's properties.
+
+### Examples
+
+* Basic examples
+    * [Flair new user Submission](/docs/examples/author/flairNewUserSubmission.json5) - If the Author does not have the `vet` flair then flair the Submission with `New User`
+    * [Flair vetted user Submission](/docs/examples/author/flairNewUserSubmission.json5) - If the Author does have the `vet` flair then flair the Submission with `Vetted`
+* Used with other Rules
+    * [Ignore vetted user](/docs/examples/author/flairNewUserSubmission.json5) - Short-circuit the Check if the Author has the `vet` flair
+    
+## Filter
+
+All **Rules** and **Checks** have an optional `authorIs` property that takes an [AuthorOptions](https://json-schema.app/view/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorOptions?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) object. 
+
+**This property works the same as the Author Rule except that:**
+* On **Rules** if all criteria fail the Rule is **skipped.** 
+  * If a Rule is skipped **it does not fail or pass** and so does not affect the outcome of the Check.
+  * However, if all Rules on a Check are skipped the Check will fail.
+* On **Checks** if all criteria fail the Check **fails**.
+
+### Examples
+
+* [Skip recent activity check based on author](/docs/examples/author/authorFilter.json5) - Skip a Recent Activity check for a set of subreddits if the Author of the Submission has any set of flairs.

+The **Regex** rule matches on text content from a comment or submission in the same way automod uses regex. The rule, however, provides additional functionality automod does not:
+
+* Can set the **number** of matches that trigger the rule (`matchThreshold`)
+
+Which can then be used in conjunction with a [`window`](https://github.com/FoxxMD/context-mod/blob/master/docs/activitiesWindow.md) to match against activities from the history of the Author of the Activity being checked (including the Activity being checked):
+
+* Can set the **number of Activities** that meet the `matchThreshold` to trigger the rule (`activityMatchThreshold`)
+* Can set the **number of total matches** across all Activities to trigger the rule (`totalMatchThreshold`)
+* Can set the **type of Activities** to check (`lookAt`)
+* When an Activity is a Submission can **specify which parts of the Submission to match against** IE title, body, and/or url (`testOn`)

+# Repeat Activity
+
+The **Repeat Activity** rule will check for patterns of repetition in an Author's Submission/Comment history. Consult the [schema](https://json-schema.app/view/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FRepeatActivityJSONConfig?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) for a complete reference of the rule's properties.
+
+## Tuning
+
+The most critical properties for this Rule are **gapAllowance** and **lookAt**.
+
+### `lookAt`
+
+Determines which Activities from a User's history are checked when looking for repeats.
+
+Can be either:
+
+* `all` -- All of a user's submissions and comments are considered
+* `submissions` -- Only a user's submissions are considered
+
+Defaults to `all`
+
+### `gapAllowance`
+
+`gapAllowance` determines how many **non-repeat Activities** are "allowed" between "in a row" submissions. `N` number of non-repeat activities will be thrown away during the count which allows checking for patterns with a bit of "fuzziness".
+
+By default `gapAllowance: 0` so all repeats must be truly consecutive.
+___
+Consider the following example in a user's history:
+
+* crossposts 2 times
+* 1 comment
+* crossposts 2 times
+* 2 comments
+* crossposts 4 times
+
+Your goal is to remove a submission if it has been crossposted **5 times.**
+
+With defaults for lookAt and gapAllowance this rule **would not be triggered** because no set of consecutive submissions was repeated 5 times.
+
+With only `lookAt: "submissions"` this rule **would trigger** because all the comments would be ignored resulting in 8 repeats.
+
+With only `gapAllowance: 1` this rule **would not trigger** because the 2 comment non-repeat would break the "in a row" count.
+
+With only `gapAllowance: 2` this rule **would trigger** because the the 1 and 2 comment non-repeats would be thrown out resulting in 8 repeats.
+
+**Note:** `lookAt: "submissions"` should be used with caution because all comments are thrown away. This isn't indicative of real repeat behavior if the user is a heavy commenter. For this reason the default is `all`.
+
+## Examples

+* [Crosspost Spamming](/docs/examples/repeatActivity/crosspostSpamming.json5) - Check if an Author is spamming their Submissions across multiple subreddits
+* [Burst-posting](/docs/examples/repeatActivity/burstPosting.json5) - Check if Author is crossposting their Submissions in short bursts

+Provided here are **complete, ready-to-go configuration** that can copy-pasted straight into your configuration wiki page to get going with ContextMod immediately.
+
+These configurations attempt to provide sensible, non-destructive, default behavior for some common scenarios and subreddit types.
+
+In most cases these will perform decently out-of-the-box but they are not perfect. You should still monitor bot behavior to see how it performs and will most likely still need to tweak these configurations to get your desired behavior.
+
+All actions for these configurations are non-destructive in that:
+
+* All instances where an activity would be modified (remove/ban/approve) will have `dryRun: true` set to prevent the action from actually being performed
+* These instances will also have a `report` action detailing the action would have been performed
+
+**You will have to remove the `report` action and `dryRun` settings yourself.** This is to ensure that you understand the behavior the bot will be performing. If you are unsure of this you should leave them in place until you are certain the behavior the bot is performing is acceptable.
+
+## Submission-based Behavior
+
+### [Remove submissions from users who have used 'freekarma' subs to bypass karma checks](/docs/examples/subredditReady/freekarma.json5)
+
+If the user has any activity (comment/submission) in known freekarma subreddits in the past (50 activities or 6 months) then remove the submission.
+
+### [Remove submissions from users who have crossposted the same submission 4 or more times](/docs/examples/subredditReady/crosspostSpam.json5)
+
+If the user has crossposted the same submission in the past (50 activities or 6 months) 4 or more times in a row then remove the submission.
+
+### [Remove submissions from users who have crossposted or used 'freekarma' subs](/docs/examples/subredditReady/freeKarmaOrCrosspostSpam.json5)
+
+Will remove submission if either of the above two behaviors is detected
+
+### [Remove link submissions where the user's history is comprised of 10% or more of the same link](/docs/examples/subredditReady/selfPromo.json5)
+
+If the link origin (youtube author, twitter author, etc. or regular domain for non-media links)
+
+* comprises 10% or more of the users **entire** history in the past (100 activities or 6 months)
+* or comprises 10% or more of the users **submission** history in the past (100 activities or 6 months) and the user has low engagement (<50% of history is comments or 40%> of comment are as OP)
+
+then remove the submission
+
+## Comment-based behavior
+
+### [Remove comment if the user has posted the same comment 4 or more times in a row](/docs/examples/subredditReady/commentSpam.json5)
+
+If the user made the same comment (with some fuzzy matching) 4 or more times in a row in the past (50 activities or 6 months) then remove the comment.

+
+Context Mod supports reading and writing [User Notes](https://www.reddit.com/r/toolbox/wiki/docs/usernotes) for the [Toolbox](https://www.reddit.com/r/toolbox/wiki/docs) extension.
+
+**You must have Toolbox setup for your subreddit and at least one User Note created before you can use User Notes related features on Context Bot.** 
+
+[Click here for the Toolbox Quickstart Guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/toolbox/wiki/docs/quick_start)
+
+## Filter
+
+User Notes are an additional criteria on [AuthorCriteria](https://json-schema.app/view/%23%2Fdefinitions%2FAuthorCriteria?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) that can be used alongside other Author properties for both [filtering rules and in the AuthorRule.](/docs/examples/author/)

+This getting started guide is for **reddit moderators** -- that is, someone who wants **an existing ContextMod bot to run on their subreddit.** If you are trying to run a ContextMod
+ instance (software) please refer to the [operator getting started](/docs/gettingStartedOperator.md) guide.

+  * [Use The Operator's Bot](#use-the-operators-bot)
+  * [Bring Your Own Bot (BYOB)](#bring-your-own-bot-byob)
+* [Creating Configuration](#configuring-the-bot)
+* [Monitor the Bot](#monitor-the-bot)
+
+# Prior Knowledge
+
+Before continuing with this guide you should first make sure you understand how a ContextMod works. Please review this documentation:
+
+* [How It Works](/docs#how-it-works)
+* [Core Concepts](/docs#concepts)
+
+# Choose A Bot
+
+First determine what bot (reddit account) you want to run ContextMod with. (You may have already discussed this with your operator)
+
+## Use the Operator's Bot
+
+If the Operator has communicated that **you should add a bot they control as a moderator** to your subreddit this is the option you will use.
+
+**Pros:**
+
+* Do not have to create and keep track of another reddit account
+* Easiest option in terms of setup for both moderators and operator
+
+**Cons:**
+
+* Shared api quota among other moderated subreddits (not great for high-volume subreddits)
+
+___
+
+Ensure that you are in communication with the **operator** for this bot. The bot **will not automatically accept a moderator invitation,** it must be manually done by the bot operator. This is an intentional barrier to ensure moderators and the operator are familiar with their respective needs and have some form of trust.
+
+Now invite the bot to moderate your subreddit. The bot should have at least these permissions:
+
+* Manage Users
+* Manage Posts and Comments
+* Manage Flair
+
+Additionally, the bot must have the **Manage Wiki Pages** permission if you plan to use [Toolbox User Notes](https://www.reddit.com/r/toolbox/wiki/docs/usernotes). If you are not planning on using this feature and do not want the bot to have this permission then you **must** ensure the bot has visibility to the configuration wiki page (detailed below).
+
+## Bring Your Own Bot (BYOB)
+
+If the operator has communicated that **they want to use a bot you control** this is the option you will use.
+
+**Pros:**
+
+* **Dedicated API quota**
+  * This is basically a requirement if your subreddit has high-volume activity and you plan on running checks on comments
+* More security guarantees since you control the account 
+  * **Note:** authenticating an account does NOT give the operator access to view or change the email/password for the account
+* Established history in your subreddit
+
+**Cons:**
+
+* More setup required for both moderators and operators
+
+___
+
+The **operator** will send you an **invite link** that you will use to authenticate your bot with the operator's application. Example link: `https://operatorsUrl.com/auth/invite?invite=4kf9n3o03ncd4nd`
+
+Review the information shown on the invite link webpage and then follow the directions shown to authorize your bot for the operator.
+
+**Note:** There is information display **after** authentication that you will need to communicate to your operator -- **Refresh** and **Access** token values. Make sure you save these somewhere as the invite link is **one-use only.**
+
+# Configuring the Bot
+
+## Setup wiki page
+
+* Visit the wiki page of the subreddit you want the bot to moderate
+  * The default location the bot checks for a configuration is at `https://old.reddit.com/r/YOURSUBERDDIT/wiki/botconfig/contextbot`
+  * If the page does not exist create it
+* Ensure the wiki page visibility is restricted
+  * On the wiki page click **settings** (**Page settings** in new reddit)
+  * Check the box for **Only mods may edit and view** and then **save**
+    * Alternatively, if you did not give the bot the **Manage Wiki Pages** permission then add it to the **allow users to edit page** setting
+
+## Procure a configuration
+
+Now you need to make the actual configuration that will be used to configure the bot's behavior on your subreddit. This may have already been done for you by your operator or you may be copying a fellow moderator's configuration.
+
+If you already have a configuration you may skip the below step and go directly to [saving your configuration](#saving-your-configuration)
+
+### Using an Example Config
+
+Visit the [Examples](https://github.com/FoxxMD/context-mod/tree/master/docs/examples) folder to find various examples of individual rules or see the [subreddit-ready examples.](/docs/examples/subredditReady)
+
+After you have found a configuration to use as a starting point:
+
+* In a new tab open the github page for the configuration you want ([example](/docs/examples/repeatActivity/crosspostSpamming.json5))
+* Click the **Raw** button, then select all and copy all of the text to your clipboard.
+
+### Build Your Own Config
+
+Additionally, you can use [this schema editor](https://json-schema.app/view/%23?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json) to build your configuration. The editor features a ton of handy features:
+
+* fully annotated configuration data/structure
+* generated examples in json/yaml
+* built-in editor that automatically validates your config
+
+PROTIP: Find an example config to use as a starting point and then build on it using the editor.
+
+## Saving Your Configuration
+
+* Open the wiki page you created in the [previous step](#setup-wiki-page) and click **edit**
+  * Copy-paste your configuration into the wiki text box
+  * Save the edited wiki page
+
+___
+
+The bot automatically checks for new configurations on your wiki page every 5 minutes. If your operator has the web interface accessible you may login there and force the config to update on your subreddit.
+
+# Monitor the Bot
+
+Monitoring the behavior of the bot is dependent on how your operator setup their instance. ContextMod comes with a built-in web interface that is secure and accessible only to moderates of subreddits it is running on. However there is some additional setup for the operator to perform in order to make this interface accessible publicly. If you do not have access to this interface please communicate with your operator.
+
+After logging in to the interface you will find your subreddit in a tab at the top of the web page. Selecting your subreddit will give you access to:
+
+* Current status of the bot
+* Current status of your configuration
+* Statistics pertaining to the number of checks/rules/actions run and cache usage
+* **A real-time view for bot logs pertaining to your subreddit**
+
+The logs are the meat and potatoes of the bot and the main source of feedback you have for fine-tuning the bot's behavior. The **verbose** log level will show you:
+
+* The event being processed
+* The individual results of triggered rules, per check
+* The checks that were run and their rules
+* The actions performed, with markdown content preview, of triggered checks
+
+This information should enable you to tweak the criteria for your rules in order to get the required behavior from the bot.
+
+Additionally, you can test your bot on any comment/submission by entering its permalink in the text bot at the top of the logs and selecting **Dry Run** -- this will run the bot on an Activity without actually performing any actions allowing you to preview the results of a run.

+
+# Installation
+
+In order to run a ContextMod instance you must first you must install it somewhere.
+
+ContextMod can be run on almost any operating system but it is recommended to use Docker due to ease of deployment.
+
+## Docker (Recommended)
+
+PROTIP: Using a container management tool like [Portainer.io CE](https://www.portainer.io/products/community-edition) will help with setup/configuration tremendously.
+
+### [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/foxxmd/context-mod)
+
+```
+foxxmd/context-mod:latest
+```
+
+Adding **environmental variables** to your `docker run` command will pass them through to the app EX:
+```
+docker run -d -e "CLIENT_ID=myId" ... foxxmd/context-mod
+```
+
+### Locally
+
+Requirements:
+
+* Typescript >=4.3.5
+* Node >=15
+
+Clone this repository somewhere and then install from the working directory
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/FoxxMD/context-mod.git .
+cd context-mod
+npm install
+tsc -p .
+```
+
+### [Heroku Quick Deploy](https://heroku.com/about)
+[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://dashboard.heroku.com/new?template=https://github.com/FoxxMD/context-mod)
+
+This template provides a **web** and **worker** dyno for heroku.
+
+* **Web** -- Will run the bot **and** the web interface for ContextMod.
+* **Worker** -- Will run **just** the bot.
+
+Be aware that Heroku's [free dyno plan](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/free-dyno-hours#dyno-sleeping) enacts some limits:
+
+* A **Web** dyno will go to sleep (pause) after 30 minutes without web activity -- so your bot will ALSO go to sleep at this time
+* The **Worker** dyno **will not** go to sleep but you will NOT be able to access the web interface. You can, however, still see how Cm is running by reading the logs for the dyno.
+
+If you want to use a free dyno it is recommended you perform first-time setup (bot authentication and configuration, testing, etc...) with the **Web** dyno, then SWITCH to a **Worker** dyno so it can run 24/7.
+
+# Bot Authentication
+
+Next you need to create a bot and authenticate it with Reddit. Follow the [bot authentication guide](/docs/botAuthentication.md) to complete this step.
+
+# Instance Configuration
+
+Finally, you must provide the credentials you received from the **Bot Authentication** step to the ContextMod instance you installed earlier. Refer to the [Operator Configuration](/docs/operatorConfiguration.md) guide to learn how this can be done as there are multiple approaches depending on how you installed the software.

+Additionally, at this step you can also tweak many more settings and behavior concerning how your CM bot will operate.
+
+# Run Your Bot and Start Moderating
+
+Congratulations! You should now have a fully authenticated bot running on ContextMod software.
+
+In order for your Bot to operate on reddit though it **must be a moderator in the subreddit you want it to run in.** This may be your own subreddit or someone else's.
+
+**Note: ContextMod does not currently handle moderation invites automatically** and may never have this functionality. Due to the fact that many of its behaviors are api-heavy and that subreddits can control their own configuration the api and resource (cpu/memory) usage of a ContextMod instance can be highly variable. It therefore does not make sense to allow any/all subreddits to automatically have access to an instance through automatically accepting moderator invites. So...if you are planning to run a ContextMod instance for subreddits other than those you moderate you should establish solid trust with moderators of that subreddit as well as a solid line of communication in order to ensure their configurations can be tailored to best fit their needs and your resources.
+
+Once you have logged in as your bot and manually accepted the moderator invite you will need to restart your ContextMod instance in order for these changes to take effect.

+# Overview
+
+ContextMod supports comparing image content, for the purpose of detecting duplicates, with two different but complimentary systems. Image comparison behavior is available for the following rules:
+
+* [Recent Activity](/docs/examples/recentActivity)
+* Repeat Activity (In-progress)
+
+To enable comparisons reference the example below (at the top-level of your rule) and configure as needed:
+
+```json5
+{
+  "name": "ruleWithImageDetection",
+  "kind": "recentActivity",
+  // Add block below...
+  // 
+  "imageDetection": {
+    // enables image comparison
+    "enable": true,
+    // The difference, in percentage, between the reference submission and the submissions being checked
+    // must be less than this number to consider the images "the same"
+    "threshold": 5,
+    // optional
+    // set the behavior for determining if image comparison should occur on a URL:
+    //
+    // "extension" => try image detection if URL ends in a known image extension (jpeg, gif, png, bmp, etc.)
+    // "unknown"   => try image detection if URL ends in known image extension OR there is no extension OR the extension is unknown (not video, html, doc, etc...)
+    // "all"       => ALWAYS try image detection, regardless of URL extension
+    //
+    // if fetchBehavior is not defined then "extension" is the default
+    "fetchBehavior": "extension",
+  },
+  //
+  // And above ^^^
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+**Perceptual Hashing** (`hash`) and **Pixel Comparisons** (`pixel`) may be used at the same time. Refer to the documentation below to see how they interact.
+
+**Note:** Regardless of `fetchBehavior`, if the response from the URL does not indicate it is an image then image detection will not occur. IE Response `Content-Type` must contain `image`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Both image comparison systems require [Sharp](https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/) as a dependency. Most modern operating systems running Node.js >= 12.13.0 do not require installing additional dependencies in order to use Sharp. 
+
+If you are using the docker image for ContextMod (`foxxmd/context-mod`) Sharp is built-in.
+
+If you are installing ContextMod using npm then **Sharp should be installed automatically as an optional dependency.** 
+
+**If you do not want to install it automatically** install ContextMod with the following command:
+
+```
+npm install --no-optional
+```
+
+If you are using ContextMod as part of a larger project you may want to require Sharp in your own package:
+
+```
+npm install sharp@0.29.1 --save
+```
+
+# Comparison Systems
+
+## Perceptual Hashing
+
+[Perceptual Hashing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_hashing) creates a text fingerprint of an image by:
+
+* Dividing up the image into a grid
+* Using an algorithm to derive a value from the pixels in each grid
+* Adding up all the values to create a unique string (the "fingerprint")
+
+An example of how a perceptual hash can work [can be found here.](https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/?/archives/432-Looks-Like-It.html)
+
+ContextMod uses [blockhash-js](https://github.com/commonsmachinery/blockhash-js) which is a javascript implementation of the algorithm described in the paper [Block Mean Value Based Image Perceptual Hashing by Bian Yang, Fan Gu and Xiamu Niu.](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4041692)
+
+
+**Advantages**
+
+* Low memory requirements and not CPU intensive
+* Does not require any image transformations
+* Hash results can be stored to make future comparisons even faster and skip downloading images (cached by url)
+* Resolution-independent
+
+**Disadvantages**
+
+* Hash is weak when image differences are based only on color
+* Hash is weak when image contains lots of text
+* Higher accuracy requires larger calculation (more bits required)
+
+**When should I use it?**
+
+* General duplicate detection
+* Comparing many images
+* Comparing the same images often
+
+### How To Use
+
+If `imageDetection.enable` is `true` then hashing is enabled by default and no further configuration is required.
+
+To further configure hashing refer to this code block:
+
+```json5
+{
+  "name": "ruleWithImageDetectionAndConfiguredHashing",
+  "kind": "recentActivity",
+  "imageDetection": {
+    "enable": true,
+    // Add block below...
+    //
+    "hash": {
+      // enable or disable hash comparisons (enabled by default)
+      "enable": true,
+      // determines accuracy of hash and granularity of hash comparison (comparison to other hashes)
+      // the higher the bits the more accurate the comparison
+      //
+      // NOTE: Hashes of different sizes (bits) cannot be compared. If you are caching hashes make sure all rules where results may be shared use the same bit count to ensure hashes can be compared. Otherwise hashes will be recomputed.
+      "bits": 32, // default is 32 if not defined
+      //
+      // number of seconds to cache an image hash
+      "ttl": 60, // default is 60 if not defined
+      //
+      // "High Confidence" Threshold
+      // If the difference in comparison is equal to or less than this number the images are considered the same and pixel comparison WILL NOT occur
+      //
+      // Defaults to the parent-level `threshold` value if not present
+      //
+      // Use null if you want pixel comparison to ALWAYS occur (softThreshold must be present)
+      "hardThreshold": 5,
+      //
+      // "Low Confidence" Threshold -- only used if `pixel` is enabled
+      // If the difference in comparison is:
+      //
+      // 1) equal to or less than this value and
+      // 2) the value is greater than `hardThreshold`
+      //
+      // the images will be compared using the `pixel` method
+      "softThreshold": 0,
+    },
+    //
+    // And above ^^^
+    //"pixel": {...}
+  },
+  //...
+```
+
+## Pixel Comparison
+
+This approach is as straight forward as it sounds. Both images are compared, pixel by pixel, to determine the difference between the two. ContextMod uses [pixelmatch](https://github.com/mapbox/pixelmatch) to do the comparison.
+
+**Advantages**
+
+* Extremely accurate, high-confidence on difference percentage
+* Strong when comparing text-based images or color-only differences
+
+**Disadvantages**
+
+* High memory requirements (10-30MB per comparison) and CPU intensive
+* Weak against similar images with different aspect ratios
+* Requires image transformations (resize, crop) before comparison
+* Can only store image-to-image results (no single image fingerprints)
+
+**When should I use it?**
+
+* Require very high accuracy in comparison results
+* Comparing mostly text-based images or subtle color/detail differences
+* As a secondary, high-confidence confirmation of comparison result after hashing
+
+### How To Use
+
+By default pixel comparisons **are not enabled.** They must be explicitly enabled in configuration.
+
+Pixel comparisons will be performed in either of these scenarios:
+
+* pixel is enabled, hashing is enabled and `hash.softThreshold` is defined
+  * When a comparison occurs that is less different than `softThreshold` but more different then `hardThreshold` (or `"hardThreshold": null`), then pixel comparison will occur as a high-confidence check
+  * Example
+    * hash comparison => 7% difference
+    * `"softThreshold": 10`
+    * `"hardThreshold": 4`
+* `hash.enable` is `false` and `pixel.enable` is true
+  * hashing is skipped entirely and only pixel comparisons are performed 
+
+To configure pixel comparisons refer to this code block:
+
+```json5
+{
+    "name": "ruleWithImageDetectionAndPixelEnabled",
+    "kind": "recentActivity",
+    "imageDetection": {
+      //"hash": {...}
+      "pixel": {
+        // enable or disable pixel comparisons (disabled by default)
+        "enable": true,
+        // if the comparison difference percentage is equal to or less than this value the images are considered the same
+        //
+        // if not defined the value from imageDetection.threshold will be used
+        "threshold": 5
+      }
+    },
+    //...
+```

+
+# Defining Configuration
+
+CM can be configured using **any or all** of the approaches below. Note that **at each level ALL configuration values are
+optional** but the "required configuration" mentioned above must be available when all levels are combined.
+
+Any values defined at a **lower-listed** level of configuration will override any values from a higher-listed
+configuration.
+
+* **ENV** -- Environment variables loaded from an [`.env`](https://github.com/toddbluhm/env-cmd) file (path may be
+  specified with `--file` cli argument)
+* **ENV** -- Any already existing environment variables (exported on command line/terminal profile/etc.)
+* **FILE** -- Values specified in a JSON configuration file using the structure [in the schema](https://json-schema.app/view/%23?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FOperatorConfig.json)
+* **ARG** -- Values specified as CLI arguments to the program (see [ClI Usage](#cli-usage) below)
+
+**Note:** When reading the **schema** if the variable is available at a level of configuration other than **FILE** it will be
+noted with the same symbol as above. The value shown is the default.
+
+* To load a JSON configuration (for **FILE**) **from the command line** use the `-c` cli argument EX: `node src/index.js -c /path/to/JSON/config.json`
+* To load a JSON configuration (for **FILE**) **using an environmental variable** use `OPERATOR_CONFIG` EX: `OPERATOR_CONFIG=/path/to/JSON/config.json`
+
+[**See the Operator Config Schema here**](https://json-schema.app/view/%23?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FOperatorConfig.json)
+
+## Defining Multiple Bots or CM Instances
+
+One ContextMod instance can
+
+* Run multiple bots (multiple reddit accounts -- each as a bot)
+* Connect to many other, independent, ContextMod instances
+
+However, the default configuration (using **ENV/ARG**) assumes your intention is to run one bot (one reddit account) on one CM instance without these additional features. This is to make this mode of operation easier for users with this intention.
+
+To take advantage of this additional features you **must** use a **FILE** configuration. Learn about how this works and how to configure this scenario in the [Architecture Documentation.](/docs/serverClientArchitecture.md)
+
+## CLI Usage

+
+# Overview
+
+ContextMod's high-level functionality is separated into two **independently run** applications. 
+
+Each application consists of an [Express](https://expressjs.com/) web server that executes the core logic for that application and communicates via HTTP API calls:
+
+Applications:
+
+* **Server** -- Responsible for **running the bots** and providing an API to retrieve information on and interact with them EX start/stop bot, reload config, retrieve operational status, etc.
+* **Client** -- Responsible for serving the **web interface** and handling the bot oauth authentication flow between operators and moderators.
+
+Both applications operate independently and can be run individually. The determination for which is run is made by environmental variables, operator config, or cli arguments.
+
+# Authentication
+
+Communication between the applications is secured using [Json Web Tokens](https://github.com/mikenicholson/passport-jwt) signed/encoded by a **shared secret** (HMAC algorithm). The secret is defined in the operator configuration.
+
+# Configuration
+
+## Default Mode
+
+**ContextMod is designed to operate in a "monolith" mode by default.** 
+
+This is done by assuming that when configuration is provided by **environmental variables or CLI arguments** the user's intention is to run the client/server together with only one bot, as if ContextMod is a monolith application. When using these configuration types the same values are parsed to both the server/client to ensure interoperability/transparent usage for the operator. Some examples of this in the **operator configuration**:
+
+* The **shared secret** for both client/secret cannot be defined using env/cli -- at runtime a random string is generated that is set for the value `secret` on both the `api` and `web` properties.
+* The `bots` array cannot be defined using env/cli -- a single entry is generated by the configuration parser using the combined values provided from env/cli
+* The `PORT` env/cli argument only applies to the `client` wev server to guarantee the default port for the `server` web server is used (so the `client` can connect to `server`)
+
+**The end result of this default behavior is that an operator who does not care about running multiple CM instances does not need to know or understand anything about the client/server architecture.**
+
+## Server
+
+To run a ContextMod instance as **sever only (headless):**
+
+* Config file -- define top-level `"mode":"server"`
+* ENV -- `MODE=server`
+* CLI - `node src/index.js run server`
+
+The relevant sections of the **operator configuration** for the **Server** are:
+
+* [`operator.name`](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fproperties%2Foperator?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FOperatorConfig.json) -- Define the reddit users who will be able to have full access to this server regardless of moderator status
+* `api`
+
+### [`api`](https://json-schema.app/view/%23/%23%2Fproperties%2Fapi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Fcontext-mod%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FOperatorConfig.json)
+
+* `port` - The port the Server will listen on for incoming api requests. Cannot be the same as the Client (when running on the same host)
+* `secret` - The **shared secret** that will be used to verify incoming api requests coming from an authenticated Client.
+* `friendly` - An optional string to identify this **Server** on the client. It is recommended to provide this otherwise it will default to `host:port`
+
+## Client
+
+To run a ContextMod instance as **client only:**
+

+In the **operator configuration** the top-level `web` property defines the configuration for the **Client** application.
+
+* `web.credentials` -- Defines the reddit oauth credentials used to authenticate users for the web interface
+  * Must contain a `redirectUri` property to work
+  * Credentials are parsed from ENV/CLI credentials when not specified (IE will be same as default bot)
+* `web.operators` -- Parsed from `operator.name` if not specified IE will use same users as defined for the bot operators
+* `port` -- the port the web interface will be served from, defaults to `8085`
+* `clients` -- An array of `BotConnection` objects that specify what **Server** instances the web interface should connect to. Each object should have:
+  * `host` -- The URL specifying where the server api is listening ie `localhost:8085`
+  * `secret` -- The **shared secret** used to sign api calls. **This should be the same as `api.secret` on the server being connected to.**
