It is my pleasure to announce the new and improved AutoModerator wiki!

I’ve seen him post on other subreddits how do I script him to post because there is not trigger for posting in documentation

If only approved users can participate on a subreddit, can the automod set that approved status for users?

I'm looking for a way to move a post into the manual approval queue (and off the sub main page) once it reaches a threshold of total number of reports (summed across any rule) or a lower threshold of reports flagged against a specific rule. Can someone help me out with the syntax?

I have rules/flairs set up so far as I'm aware, but i'd be lying if i said I wasn't intimidated by the AutoModerator documentation. I asked ChatGPT for help, but the block that ChatGPT gave me gets flagged as 'Unsupported Media Type'. Apparently I'm not meant to post the entire thing, but instead discuss one 'rule' at a time, but fair warning this is my first time doing this so I don't necessarily myself understand what a 'rule' is in this context

Anyway, the first 'rule' as given to me by ChatGPT:
"# Automod configuration for r/hellhoundlovers

### 1. Prevent Spam ###

filters:

- type: comment

regex: "(buy|cheap|discount|promo)"

action: remove

report_reason: "Potential spam detected."

"

I am on Desktop.

Hi everyone,

I am a fairly new moderator for a relatively big subreddit using my other account.

I added an automod rule to filter all reported posts and send the OP a message explaining for the temporary removal using this:

# Send a message to OP
type: submission
reports: 1
action: filter
message: Your submission has been temporarily removed because someone reported your post. 

I also want to leave a trace of messages sent in the automod log but I cannot find which setting to change.

Any mods out there who were able to implement this?

I'm asking these because I have a subreddit which I requested ownership as it was unmoderated, but the problem is that automod instantly removes every post I dont know why. Any way to fix this?

The intent is to filter any post with that flair ID that does not begin with [Books], and also send a message to the user explaining the removal.

Thanks

type: submission

filter:

title:

does_not_match: '^[Books]'

flair_id: 4d26c3f2-bae5-11ed-8709-0a8a057f2961

action:

reason: |

No "[Books]" on Book Spoilers post title.

message: |

Hi there! Your post was removed because it didn't comply with our title rule for the "Book Spoilers & Show Spoilers" flair. Please ensure your post title begins with "[Books]" and resubmit.

How do I stop our AutoMod comment that is automatically made on every post from applying to mod posts?

I want to know the code so that I can also put automatic comments on every post. Can you please tell me the code? Please suggest the code for this.

like this comment on the comment automoderate- "Welcome to r/ ! Dont forget to "Join" this subreddit to stay updated.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns."

This is the one thing I'm not clear on. Say I set an automod rule to remove anything from users with less than -50 combined subreddit karma, not site-wide karma. That prevents the user from posting, which it seems would effectively permaban them. If they can't post content to be interacted with, they can't receive upvotes on the sub. If they can't receive upvotes, their karma can never improve. Or does subreddit karma slowly trend towards zero over a certain amount of time?

I just want to understand before I go making any changes that might permanently affect people without me realizing.

As it’s a built in feature, is automod able to detect if a post/comment is marked as brand affiliated and then report that submission?

What should I type in my automoderator to add an image in the stickied automoderator comment on every post submission?

The example can be seen on this link on anime sub, the picture can only be seen on oldreddit it seems.

I was under the impression that the auto-moderator would remove matching submissions instantly (if the right actions are chosen). Recently, I am seeing delays of removals on matching content. So content matches, it notices, it removes it but at least an hour delayed.

I don't see anything in the "Full" documentation regarding exactly how it works.

My config is small (650 words), and should be efficient. Is there anything I can do to help it take action faster?

Edit: The submissions that are matching are not showing up in the "edited" mod view.

0 script writing experience, have tried to teach myself and then resorted to ChatGPT who managed to give me a script that reddit actually accepted but it wont work. One of my subs that I mod has grown exponentially and I need to restrict posts that contain certain post flairs as there are risks associated with the trade (electrician). If you can help me write a script that will work for both the rules then I will love you forever and will buy you a pizza or a few coffee's.

>Rule 1: auto-remove posts from users if they are trying to use the 'Verified Sparky and Apprentices' post >flair but do not have either a Verified Sparky or Verified Apprentice user flair on their profile.

>Rule 2: auto-remove comments from users on posts that have the 'Verified Sparky and Apprentices' post >flair but do not have either a 'Verified Sparky' or 'Verified Apprentice' user flair on their profile.

ChatGPT spat out the below script to manage Rule 1 which reddit actually accepted but I've tried and tried and it doesn't actually work.

- name: Remove posts with specific post flair if user lacks required user flair

condition:

post_flair_text: "Verified Sparky and Apprentices" # Match the exact post flair text

user_flair_text:

- "Verified Sparky"

- "Verified Apprentice"

user_flair_text_exclusion: true # Exclude users who don't match the above user flairs

action:

type: remove

Your post was removed because you used the "Verified Sparky and Apprentices" flair but do not have either the "Verified Sparky" or "Verified Apprentice" flair on your profile. Please contact the mods for help.

type: submission #Define the type for posts

    Thank you, u/{{author}}, for sharing your post in **r/**! 

I see this question was asked a few years back and didn't have a straightforward answer. Any way the automod can be triggered to post comments within a specific time range without having to use flairs? Specifically, I want the automod to be on posts on Mondays 12:01 AM - 11:59 PM EST.

I’ve used this for my other subs now I add it to my new one but keeps saying unsupported media type. Whys it not working anymore

type: submission

action: remove

action_reason: "No posting rule"

moderators_exempt: true

Hello people, ok so i saw someone's comment in this sub saying automod works from top to bottom. this made me wonder if this affects how my codes work or if i need to have them in a certain order? also im working on a code for my sub to give user flairs based on sub karma do i need to have this code as one entire section? (i'm pretty sure this is the case) i hope this makes sense lol.

I am trying to find the correct format for coding the automod to leave a comment on every new post and sticky the post to the top of the comments. Does anyone have any experience with this? Does a bot need to be created?

I also want to include links on some of the verbiage. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to send a post to mod review instead of removing the post?

I tried setting up a couple of new accounts, tried it on Old Reddit and New Reddit, and it works fine for me. It's not working for some other people though. Their posts are getting filtered and not unfiltered after they comment. They are using New Reddit. What could be causing this?

For some reasons, I need to automatically approve many shadowbanned users in my subreddit, However, this is causing an issue where newly created troll accounts, which are often shadowbanned, are also getting their posts approved. I tried using a higher-priority automoderator rule based on account_age to remove these new accounts' submissions, but it's not triggering for shadowbanned accounts, even though it works correctly for regular accounts.

In r/plantclinic, we have text posts disabled. All posts are meant to be photo uploads. We also require supporting information to be supplied by OP. We use automations to require minimum word count on posts, as well as certain keywords.

This all works great on mobile, but doesn't appear to work on shreddit on desktop. On desktop, it appears image posts cannot be submitted with a body.

Is there a way to have automoderator report only image posts without a body? This would ideally flag all posts submitted via desktop shreddit for review to ensure OP has added information in a comment.

I've tried this code, but it doesn't appear to work.

 # Filter Posts without a body     
 type: submission     
 body (full-exact, regex): '(w+W*){0,9}'
 action: report     
 action_reason: "Empty post"     

In a sub I'm a mod on, we have been banning users with a lot of rule breaks, which has increased our alt accounts. Some trigger the ban evasion filter, some don't. But anytime i find a new or suspected alt account, I add a mod note and add the "abuse warning" label so I can recognize their account later should any of the mods come across it again at a later date.

Is there a way to have their content filtered by automod to the queue based on the having a mod note with the abuse warning label added?

I am happy to provide additional information if needed.
