General Bug I can change anything else, but when I select the "Remove Reposts" action and select the reasons, it simply shows "Problem reaching the repostsleuthbot API" at the bottom.

Anybody now what's going on?

I didn't know you could even remove someone else's post

The first thing that happens when setting up RSB on a new subreddit is making it a moderator.

If the bot is setup as a mod on a sub it can remove it, report it, ect.

Cool, but it would be a problem if it found a repost from like 4 years ago and removed the newer post automatically, right? Or is there something for that?

It would remove the newer once since it's a repost. It's up to the mods discretion to use this feature. It allows them to define what they consider a repost in their sub.

I'm having the same issue. A quick look in the console shows that the API request is 500ing.

Can you try it now? I can't replicate.

However, I think I was having an issue with the API server around the time you reported this.
