+The **Repost** rule is used to find reposts for both **Submissions** and **Comments**, depending on what type of **Check** it is used on.
+
+Note: This rule is for searching **all of Reddit** for reposts, as opposed to just the Author of the Activity being checked. If you only want to check for reposts by the Author of the Activity being checked you should use the [Repeat Activity](/docs/examples/repeatActivity) rule.
+
+# TLDR
+
+Out of the box CM generates a repost rule with sensible default behavior without any configuration. You do not need to configure any of below options (facets, modifiers, criteria) yourself in order to have a working repost rule. Default behavior is as follows...
+
+* When looking for Submission reposts CM will find any Submissions with 
+  * a very similar title 
+  * or independent of title...
+     * any crossposts/duplicates
+     * any submissions with the exact URL
+* When looking for Comment reposts CM will do the above AND THEN 
+  * compare the top 50 most-upvoted comments from the top 10 most-upvoted Submissions against the comment being checked
+  * compare any items found from external source (Youtube comments, etc...) against the comment being checked
+
+# Configuration
+
+## Search Facets
+
+ContextMod has several ways to search for reposts -- all of which look at different elements of a Submission in order to find repost candidates. You can define any/all of these **Search Facets** you want to use to search Reddit inside the configuration for the Repost Rule in the `searchOn` property.
+
+### Usage
+
+Facets are specified in the `searchOn` array property within the rule's configuration.
+
+**String**
+
+Specify one or more types of facets as a string to use their default configurations
+
+<details>
+
+YAML
+```yaml
+kind: repost
+criteria:
+  - searchOn:
+      - title
+      - url
+      - crossposts
+```
+
+JSON
+```json5
+{
+  "kind": "repost",
+  "criteria": [
+    {
+      // ...
+      "searchOn": ["title", "url", "crossposts"],
+      // ....
+    }
+  ]
+}

+```
+

+**Object**
+
+**string** and object configurations can be mixed

+kind: repost
+criteria:
+  - searchOn:
+      - title
+      - kind: url
+        matchScore: 90

+```
+
+```json5
+{
+  "kind": "repost",
+  "criteria": [
+    {
+      // ...
+      "searchOn": [
+        "title",
+        {
+          "kind": "url",
+          // could also specify multiple types to use the same config for all
+          //"kind": ["url", "duplicates"]
+          "matchScore": 90,
+          //...
+        },
+        "external"
+      ],
+      // ....
+    }
+  ]
+}
+
+```
+
+</details>
+
+### Facet Types
+
+* **title** -- search reddit for Submissions with a similar title
+* **url** -- search reddit for Submissions with the same URL
+* **duplicates** -- get all Submissions **reddit has identified** as duplicates that are **NOT** crossposts
+  * these are found under *View discussions in other communities* (new reddit) or *other discussions* (old reddit) on the Submission
+* **crossposts** -- get all Submissions where the current Submission is the source of an **official** crosspost
+  * this differs from duplicates in that crossposts use reddit's built-in crosspost functionality, respect subreddit crosspost rules, and link back to the original Submission
+* **external** -- get items from the Submission's link source that may be reposted (currently implemented for **Comment Checks** only)
+  * When the Submission link is for...
+    * **Youtube** -- get top comments on video by replies/like count
+      * **NOTE:** An **API Key** for the [Youtube Data API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3) must be provided for this facet to work. This can be provided by the operator alongside [bot credentials](/docs/operatorConfiguration.md) or in the top-level `credentials` property for a [subreddit configuration.](https://json-schema.app/view/%23?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FFoxxMD%2Freddit-context-bot%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSchema%2FApp.json)
+
+### Facet Modifiers
+
+For all **Facets**, except for **external**, there are options that be configured to determine if the found Submissions is a "valid" repost IE filtering. These options can be configured **per facet**.
+
+* **matchScore** -- The percentage, as a whole number, of a repost title that must match the title being checked in order to consider both a match
+* **minWordCount** -- The minimum number of words a title must have
+* **caseSensitive** -- If the match comparison should be case-sensitive (defaults to `false`)
+
+Additionally, the current Activity's title and/or each repost's title can be transformed before matching:
+
+* **transformations** -- An array of SearchAndReplace objects used to transform the repost's title
+* **transformationsActivity** -- An array of SearchAndReplace objects used to transform the current Activity's title
+
+#### Modifier Defaults
+
+To make facets easier to use without configuration sensible defaults are applied to each when no other configuration is defined...
+
+* **title**
+  * `matchScore: 85` -- The candidate repost's title must be at least 85% similar to the current Activity's title
+  * `minWordCount: 2` --  The candidate repost's title must have at least 2 words
+
+For `url`,`duplicates`, and `crossposts` the only default is `matchScore: 0` because the assumption is you want to treat any actual dups/x-posts or exact URLs as reposts, regardless of their title.
+
+## Additional Criteria Properties
+
+A **criteria** object may also specify some additional tests to run against the reposts found from searching.
+
+### For Submissions and Comments
+
+#### Occurrences
+
+Define a set of criteria to test against the **number of reposts**, **time reposts were created**, or both.
+
+##### Count

+
+
+### For Comments
+
+When the rule is run in a **Comment Check** you may specify text comparisons (like those found in Search Facets) to run on the contents of the repost comments *against* the contents of the comment being checked.
+
+* **matchScore** -- The percentage, as a whole number, of a repost comment that must match the comment being checked in order to consider both a match (defaults to 85% IE `85`)
+* **minWordCount** -- The minimum number of words a comment must have
+* **caseSensitive** -- If the match comparison should be case-sensitive (defaults to `false`)
+
+# Examples
+
+Examples of a *full* CM configuration, including the Repost Rule, in various scenarios. In each scenario the parts of the configuration that affect the rule are indicated.
+
+## Submissions
+
+When the Repost Rule is run on a **Submission Check** IE the activity being checked is a Submission.
+
+### Default Behavior (No configuration)
+
+This is the same behavior described in the [TLDR](#TLDR) section above -- find any submissions with:
+
+* a very similar title (85% or more the same)
+* or ignoring title...
+  * any crossposts/duplicates
+  * any submissions with the exact URL

+
+This is the same behavior described in the [TLDR](#TLDR) section above -- find any submissions with:
+
+* a very similar title (85% or more the same)
+* or ignoring title...
+  * any crossposts/duplicates
+  * any submissions with the exact URL
+* If comment being checked is on a Submission for Youtube then get top 50 comments on youtube video as well...
+
+AND THEN
+
+* sort submissions by votes
+* take top 20 (upvoted) comments from top 10 (upvoted) submissions
+* sort comments by votes, take top 50 + top 50 external items
+
+FINALLY
+
+* filter all gathered comments by default `matchScore: 85` to find very similar matches
+* rules is triggered if any are found

+This rule goes a step further than automod can by being more discretionary about how it handles this type of spam. 
+
+* Remove the comment and **ban a user** if:
+  * Comment being checked contains **only** a discord link (no other text) AND
+  * Discord links appear **anywhere** in three or more of the last 10 comments the Author has made
+
+otherwise...

+
+Using these checks ContextMod can more easily distinguish between these use cases for a user commenting with a discord link:
+
+* actual spammers who only spam a discord link
+* users who may comment with a link but have context for it either in the current comment or in their history
+* users who many comment with a link but it's a one-off event (no other links historically)
+
+Additionally, you could modify both/either of these checks to not remove one-off discord link comments but still remove if the user has a historical trend for spamming links

 # Configuring the Bot
 
+The bot's behavior is defined using a configuration, like automoderator, that is stored in the **wiki** of each subreddit it moderates.
+
+The default location for this page is at `https://old.reddit.com/r/YOURSUBERDDIT/wiki/botconfig/contextbot`
+
 ## Setup wiki page
 
+The bot automatically tries to create its configuration wiki page. You can find the result of this in the log for your subreddit in the web interface.
+
+If this fails for some reason you can create the wiki page through the web interface by navigating to your subreddit's tab, opening the [built-in editor (click **View**)](/docs/screenshots/configBox.png), and following the directions in **Create configuration for...** link found there.
+
+If neither of the above approaches work, or you do not wish to use the web interface, expand the section below for directions on how to manually setup the wiki page:
+
+<details>
+
 * 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

 ### [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.

+# 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:
+
+JSON
+```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 ^^^
+  //...
+}
+```
+YAML
+```yaml
+name: ruleWithImageDetection
+kind: recentActivity
+  enable: true
+  threshold: 5
+  fetchBehavior: extension
+
+```
+
+**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": {...}
+  }
+  //...
+}
+```
+YAML
+```yaml
+name: ruleWithImageDetectionAndConfiguredHashing
+kind: recentActivity
+imageDetection:
+  enable: true
+  hash:
+    enable: true
+    bits: 32
+    ttl: 60
+    hardThreshold: 5
+    softThreshold: 0
+```
+
+## 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
+    }
+  },
+  //...
+}
+```
+YAML
+```yaml
+name: ruleWithImageDetectionAndPixelEnabled
+kind: recentActivity
+imageDetection:
+  pixel:
+    enable: true
+    threshold: 5
+```
