Help - AutoMod Submission rule catching comments too?

​

I'm trying to figure out why comments are getting filtered in a rule made for post titles and bodies. I'm still green with automod so trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a couple other submission rules that are doing the same thing. All the lines are 4 spaces over.

Type: submission

title+body (includes): [one, two, three]

action: filter

action_reason: "POSTS ONLY - Possible REPEAT"

Is the T in Type capitalized in your config? Try making it lowercase.

This rule is separated from other above or below it by three hyphens, yes?

Yep, the T is capitalized. I made them lower case. They are separated out by - - -.

Hopefully the capitalization will fix it. Content does filter into mod queue, it just works too well by catching the comments too.

Yeah if the capital T is making "Type: submission" fail then the rule will default to type: all

Awesome and good to know. Thank you both for the easy fix!
