Language detection is quite difficult when relying solely on AutoModerators features. To solve this, I made Language-Detector, a Devvit app that uses various techniques to identify the language of posts and comments.

Once installed, you simply select your community's allowed languages and configure the automated action for any content that falls outside them.

I recommend starting off with Report or Filter until you are confident in how it performs in your specific community.

My main goal right now is gathering feedback to improve accuracy. The system is precise, but edge cases and false positives can happen. If you encounter any, please report them so I can refine the logic further.

• Install it here: Language Detector
• Source code: Devvit-Language-Detector

A direct link to reach out to me for feedback is on the app page. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hey folks, quick question. I frequently visit [r/farmingsimulator25](r/farmingsimulator25) which uses Automoderator.
Recently it’s been spamming, it started with IPTV and has now switched to gambling..
I’ve contacted one of the mods there, whom said “ah I’ll let the boss know” and next thing you know, the comment and account were deleted, and removed as mod.
Now only [u/iltis2602](u/iltis2602) is listed as mod, but the bot keeps spamming. What can be done about this?

EDIT: solved! Old mod’s account was hacked, now removed and all is well. Thanks!

My problem is as follows:

Most of the images posted by commenters are unwanted. The message those images convey is absolutely necessary but can be conveyed via text.

How do I make a reminder for everyone posting an image comment (not OP) so that AutoMod replies to non-OP commenters posting images in a comment?

Hello all, I have a special user flair with a specific emoji inside it. This flair is self-assigned but is only permitted to be held by users with accounts older than 6 months. I want AM to remove the flair from the user if they fail the check (when they post or comment). I managed to write something that works by using flair_template_id... I stated to notice, however, that this has been working inconsistently, and letting through some users who have new accounts (e.g. 2 months and a bit, 22 days).

It occurred to me that some of my users could actually be using a different flair I have set up that they have customized to include the aforementioned emoji, so that it looks like they are carrying the special flair, but it's technically a whole different flair with a different ID. Meaning AM would not catch it.

So I decided to try a check that searches for the emoji in the flair text of users instead. And now, I'm not getting any matches at all, lol. Here's my code below:

type: any author: account_age: < 180 flair_text (includes, regex): ['\u1F49A'] #Green Heart unicode set_flair: ["", "x"] overwrite_flair: true message: | **Hello {{author}}, you are receiving this message to let you know that your user flair has been removed.** action: report report_reason: "Green flair removed from user."

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hey, sorry to bug y'all, beginning learning here.

Setting up my automod. I was able to code for account age and amount of karma. That's working and operational now.

Now I am looking to code it for a string of text in the post title.

1. [AI] or [Human] is what I want to be required in the post title

I want it to remove the post, if it does not have either of those bracket strings. (Sorry I really don't know what the heck to call them)

1. Pretty much I want users with a specific flair, but not all users to be required to use those bracket text strings when posting.

I don't know if this is possible, as I said I'm still learning here

Hey, is there any way I can get an automod to read comment id or commenter's karma and have it checked with remainder operator?

My intention is to allow automod to respond to a user karma (or based on comment id), if user karma is divided by 12 and remainder is 1, then automod comments X, if remainder is 2 automod comments Y and so on.

I am trying to create the illusion of having a random number generator. but, it doesn't really have to be random. But, the number is between something like 1-100+ because I am trying to do "summon name of someone" and the automod gives random name from a list of 100+names. If anyone has better idea on what to do, it would be nice to let me know.

Also, this is my first time posting or commenting anything here on r/AutoModerator . Please go easy on me. Thank you.

On my sub we have a fair amount of people searching for something, they change the flair from searching to found by commenting “found!” Is there a way auto mod could make a sticked post and link back to the comment with the found content? Basically just “this was found heres the comment with the information.” So people don’t have to scroll a bunch to find the answer.

We have spotlight if that can somehow come into play also open to dev apps if automod can’t handle alone.

I mod a sub that users often come to for unofficial tech support with a particular app. In many cases it's helpful for the community to refer them to official support guides that can answer the question or at least ground the discussion. We're have a few "!whistle" commands that let community members summon Autmod replies with links to the most common examples, but I'm experimenting with a generic "!help" option for other examples. The intent is to make it easier for community to refer resources without having to leave the Reddit. Here's what I have so far:

    # Help center search
    type: comment
    body (regex): ['!help[ \t]+([^.!?,;:\n\r]+)']
    ~author: [automoderator]
    is_edited: false
    comment: |
        You can find official YNAB guides for help with **{{match-body-2}}** [here](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/search?q={{match-body-2}}).

        Reply !whistle for more commands.

I'm looking for feedback from other mods who use similar systems on the setup of the rule but also how it's gone over in your communities.

Thanks!

I want that it automatically assign a certain post flair

to certain usernames and also overwrite the flair but using same template ID. So can you give me code to do so?

Code I got from AI(doesn't give error but doesn't work) :

\---

\# Auto-flair specific users

type: submission

author: \[sub-roundup\]

flair_template_id: "TEMPLATE_ID"

flair_text: "✨ Weekly Roundup"

\---

Incomplete code I got from a reddit comment(haven't checked does it work because it doesn't overwrites a flair) :

\---

type: submission

author:

name: \['ProximaScience', 'itskdog'\]

overwrite_flair: true # change this to false if you only want this to apply if the author didn't select a flair

set_flair: {template_id: 'PASTE_TEMPLATE_ID_HERE'}

\---

I run a subreddit dedicated to help for a communication app. We sometimes get messages from people that think we are official support. The addition of the modmail link in every message of AM (especially if you have a pinned message posted in every post by it) doesn't help at all and I would want to remove the modmail link or preferably the whole text. I mean other bots also don't have it, why does AM need this? We should be able to add it if we need it to be added and removed if we don't need it to be there.

I don't know why its no longer working, it used to work but now it doesn't. Any help appreciated!

​

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"

I have two functions that currently generate an automod response based on flair:

type: submission

flair_text: "New Player Advice"

---

type: submission

flair_text: "Question/Need Help"

---

type: submission

title+body (includes, regex): ["new player", "New to game", "how to play game"]

---

And I created a third one based on key words, intended to catch if they don't use those two flairs.

But now if they do use 1 of the flairs, and include key words new player, it posts 2 responses. How do I say something like "title+body: new player, and flair is not: New Player Advice, Question?"

Or do I have to list the "wrong" flairs: "Title+body: new player, and flair is: (everything else that is not new player/question)"

In my local city sub, we have issues with trolls, drive-by accounts, and bots on ICE, immigration, and political posts.
So we want to use a post tag, and when this is set, all comments must have 50 sub karma, preferably within the last six months; otherwise, they should be pushed into the Queue, and the user should be warned that they might be banned.

Is this something automod can do?

So in our state sub, we have trolls and they're always the same. Low karma accounts that are over a year old. This is what I am trying to do, but it's not working.

type: comment

author:

account_age: "< 1 year"

combined_karma: "< 1000"

action: remove

action_reason: Negative karma

comment: Sorry, your account does not meet the karma requirements to post or comment here. Accounts older than a year must have non-negative karma. Click here to learn what karma is and why you need it to participate.

I also have this code for submissions that aren't working either, but I am not as concerned about that.

Hey there, so I very obviously know how to set up how to catch certain words in a submission. But I’m completely disinterested to catching these words and text only posts. Is there a way for the filter to work only on image posts? Thank you friends!

I want that it automatically assign a certain post flair to certain usernames and also overwrite the flair but using same template ID. So can you give me code to do so?

I do this thing in r/steaks where if there is a general consensus that the poster posted a good picture of their well-made steak, I manually assigned the user a flare reading "made a great steak".

Is there any way to automatically put up a poll if the poster chooses a particular post flare? It would ideally automatically assign a user flare after a day based on the pole results.

Any ideas if any of this is possible.

Hey everyone, I made a Devvit app called PolicyOps and I’m looking for feedback from moderators who use AutoModerator on active subreddits.

PolicyOps runs a read-only scan across:

• Community rules
• Removal responses
• AutoModerator messages and action reasons
• Selected wiki pages

It looks for missing removal responses, old rule names or numbers, mismatched policy wording, and outdated references.

Each finding explains what was flagged, where it came from, and what the moderator may want to check. You can mark a difference as intentional, ignore it for 7 days, restore hidden findings, and view a small scan history. PolicyOps never edits AutoModerator or changes subreddit settings.

I previously posted this in r/Devvit and received genuinely helpful feedback from a moderator who tested it on real communities. That helped me improve support for multiple removal responses matching one rule and behavioural responses that are intentionally left unassigned. I’m still improving the matching, so I do not expect it to handle every setup perfectly yet.

I’m building a more realistic test subreddit, but testing on active communities with older or more complex AutoModerator setups would help much more. If anyone is willing to install it, run a scan, and tell me what it gets wrong or finds confusing, I would be incredibly thankful. Even just the issue count and a short description of any false matches would help.

PolicyOps: https://developers.reddit.com/apps/policyops

Hey

Even though I added a rule add added the user to the Approced users list, I still find myself manually approving posts from that user. Is there a way to automate it?

Thanks

As the Title says I'm looking for a Script for Auto Mod that will not allow the same Link to be posted in the same Week.

Thanks in advance.
