anyone can share the solution for post/repost with gmt/jarvee/followliker, found it easily get ban with post/repost. share your idea :)
 
Just need to modify the image more.

I don't think a simple MD5 modification is enough anymore as image can look identical to the eye and still have a different checksum.

Try adding some more image manipulation into your flow when posting / reposting:
Modify:
* brightness
* saturation
* hue
* sharpness
* flip the image on the axid
* put it through a stylistic filter
* resize and crop

None of my test accounts were hit with what has been suggested as a duplicate / repost flagging (although all these accounts do is post from the same test folder of images I use, but I don't use them often). But I have been testing duplicate posting heavily this week, must have posted the same 3 images over 50 times each in the last 5 days with no problems whilst modifying the above

Adding to your post,

Image resize, crop, visible watermark or caption within image, changing md5 hash would also do the job well.

Thanks for your insight on the matter.
 
The main issue is not in the pictures, its in proxys and requests to api when posting, try posting a pic from your home ip or 4g. 0 problems doesnt matter what software is. Sure modyfing picture helps but isnt the main reason.
 
even uploading a picture taken from my camera got immediately removed.. so its not just the pics

its an overall value of your account and proxies

that mean need a residental proxy/mobile 4g proxy to work on? but some said fail to post/repost too with those proxy and get ban too

Then they should quit im and find a job
Remove acc from proxy and go post a pic, let me know the outcome.

tbh I don't think a MD5 is sufficient. Load an image in paint / gimp / photoshop and save as JPEG 90% quality / 95% quality / 99% quality and you get 3 new MD5 checksums yet the image looks identical to the eye. I would be surprised if the other bots were not doing this before by default before posting / reposting as well as doing a basic bit fiddle just to ensure the MD5 is unique as this is fairly basic knowledge when posting images in SEO / spam bots that any experienced dev should know who has worked in this domain for a while.

So I think ISG are doing something more complex / AI / machine learning / image detection based to detect duplicate images. Only speculation mind, but it would make sense, this is ISG / Facebook we are playng with here who have the resources / skills to do so.

Resize / crop.
I don't know enough about machine learning, but a stretched / compressed image is sort of the same image, not sure if that would be enough on it's own. A cropped image, I think would be better. Resize to 80% of original cropping the 20%, I think would be better. But I have nothing but my assumptions for this.

Watermark
I thiink this would do it, especially if is a big embossed over the top watermark, a little logo in bottom right? well the image is still pretty much the same, so although not a 100% duplicate, perhaps would register as 90%?

Caption within image (am assuming you mean add a bar at the bottom of the image and write text to the image.
Again as with a small corner logo, there will be a high % of a match.



But maybe am overthinking and just a small visual difference is enough, as I said above, been running lots of tests this week with the same base image, but with clear (to the eye) differences in the image, not a problem. So I think as long as the images a bit different to the eye for the time being, it is enough. But I imagine this is an area ISG are looking to improve their detections on and they will I am sure

Account / proxy is definitely playing a part, but that is not the whole picture. I know users with real accounts (were real accounts people used on their phone before botting with them) on their local IP had issues with reposts / duplicate posting (granted these were heavy duplicate posters, posting duplicates all day every day. So maybe ISG are dupe rating each image, this image gets a dupe score of 50%, this one 60% this one 90% this one %70... If you get an overrall score of 60%+ dupe, you get penalised.

I post from datacenter IPV4 and IPV6, no problems. I get PV 1 time and then i can post 1 image a day. How? Think smart when creating your accounts ;).

are you still use it? how about your regex replacement on repost module? does it work? thanks
