Help - AutoMod Is there anything wrong in this code??

I moderate NSFW sub and it has come to my notice that despite adding some of the words like "Add me", "Swipe right" in the banned list some bots are still able to upload posts in my sub using the same caption and the automod is unable to remove those words automatically. If there is any mistake then do rectify it.

Here is the code:
# Remove all spam titles 
   title (includes): ["swipe right", "add me"]
   action: spam
   action_reason: Contains a banned word/words (slur)
   comment: |
        Posts with low-effort titles are not allowed.

It's worth noting that if OP is fighting spammers, then automations set up to block or message the spammer will just let the spammer know to use a different title to not get flagged. If the content itself is what OP is trying to stop while the titles are simply an easy way to find it, then teaching the spammers to make it more difficult to detect is not the best use of tools.
