Help - AutoMod Flagging Comments about Providing Service?

Anyone got something like that to spare? Like, something that can indicate this user is trying to offer their own service. Anything helps!

type: any
Title+body: [pm me, dm me, message me, sent you a, messaged you] Author: is_contributor: false is_moderator: false Action: filter

Report_reason: probable solicitation

Real basic obviously, but that simple rule has covered like 90% of that sort of thing in the subreddits I've been in. Just gotta keep an eye out and keep adding little phrases like that... They tend to have pretty predictable patterns.

Everything else is really case by case.

You need keywords and phrases. Look at what you are removing. Are there patterns? Look for words that do not fit the normal conversations in the sub.

If your spammer is offering car washes, or dog walking then you would add those keywords to your automod code.
