1. Enhanced Moderation Tools:
- Profanity Filter:
- Detects and flags posts containing explicit language using an extensive list of profane words.
- Sends a private message to the user notifying them of the inappropriate content and flags the post for moderators.
- Spam Detection:
- Flags posts containing more than five links as potential spam.
- Sends a private message to the user and flags the post for moderators.
2. User Engagement:
- Daily/Weekly Summary:
- Automatically generates and posts a summary of the top 5 most viewed discussions.
- Keeps the community informed and engaged with popular topics.
3. Custom Commands:
- Advanced Help Command:
- Adds a custom command `@system help advanced` to provide advanced resources and help links to users.
- Responds with a detailed list of useful forum resources when triggered.
Benefits:
- Improved Moderation: Helps maintain a respectful and spam-free community by automatically flagging inappropriate content.
- Increased Engagement: Keeps users informed about popular discussions and makes new users feel welcome, potentially increasing their participation.

- The daily/weekly summary feature was tested to ensure summaries are generated and posted correctly.
- The welcome message and custom commands were tested by creating new user accounts and posting commands.
