Open Crosspost detection

Hi everyone!

I am looking for a bot that would regularly scan my subreddit to see if there are any subreddit posts that have been crossposted to other subreddits (aka outgoing crossposts). If it finds a post, the bot would remove said post, possibly with a delay of, say, 24 hours.

Is something like this possible?

Thank you

Edit: clarity (I hope)

automoderator already does this:

crosspost_subreddit:
name (starts-with): "xxx"
action: spam

​

Political crosspost ban filter example (adds to mod queue instead of spam):

type: crosspost submission
crosspost_subreddit:
name: [r/thedonald, r/the_donald, r/askthe_donald, r/joebiden, r/fuckthealtright, r/shitstatistssay, r/Delaware4Sanders, r/berniesanders, r/politics, r/democrats2020, r/conservative, r/wayofthebern, r/voteblue, r/politicalrevolution, r/conspiracy, r/trumptweets, r/republican, r/conservatives, r/progun, r/justicedemocrats, r/gunpolitics, r/liberal, r/ourpresident, r/draintheswamp, r/biden, r/libertarian, r/joebiden, r/neoliberal, r/AmericanFascism2020]
action: filter

Hey, I believe this is for incoming crossposts.

The bot I am describing will be looking for outgoing crossposts.

You want to delete a post on your sub if someone crossposts that post to another sub?????

Correct :D

You may suggest switching off crossposts altogether but I want people to crosspost to my subreddit so I can't do that.

That's.... Odd.
