This seems quite similar in intent to the existing rule \"repeating words in {}\". Are there cases where that rule and this rule will both match the same text?
It looks like you found and fixed the first issue I had, which was the redundant detection name. And fixed the second issue (that post bodies start with an HTML tag). Just FYI: a `<p>` is not the only HTML tag which can start a post body, but it is, by far, the most common.
##### In the version as of the point you removed it from SD:
you use `(.+?)` in the second regex. That seems over-broad. I'd be much more comfortable if there was a relatively/moderately short limit to the number of characters there. Perhaps a couple/few hundred characters? However, that's probably not all that critical.
The code:
```
repeats = regex.match(r\"\\A(\\w+(?:\\W+\\w+){%i}\\W*){10,}\" % (len(period.groups(0)[0].split()) + 1), s)
```
doesn't appear to do what you're intending. It doesn't end up looking for a repeating pattern, it just looks for a bunch of words, which would match nearly anything and return the last portion of the text.
For example, on [this post](https://metasmoke.erwaysoftware.com/post/366947), the first regex does [this](https://regex101.com/r/tTnkxh/1), which then results in the second regex being `\\Awhat\\W+is\\W+your\\W+(.+?)what\\W+is\\W+your\\b` and is doing [this](https://regex101.com/r/0oVnFf/1). That makes the final regex be `\\A(\\w+(?:\\W+\\w+){2}\\W*){10,}`, which is doing [this on that text](https://regex101.com/r/RI5ePw/1). However, it's going to match anything. For example, using the text of this comment as the body text, it does [this]().";
// result will be a tuple containing the start and end indices for the first match in the string
let result = regex.captures(string);
let (start, end) = match result {
Some((s, e)) => (s, e),
None => {
// ...
}
};
println!("{}", &string[start, end]);
}
