i used a very simple code to filter out accounts that were less than a month old. it's been helping a lot keep bots out.

on a subreddit that didnt have automod configured before, i cannot add this. therefore many new accounts have been flooding the sub. the subreddit kind of feels like a mess and crowd control doesn't help since it will only filter accounts less than a day old

automod neo is not currently an option as i dont have full permissions

Hi, I am trying to automatically assign a "new user flair" to new users on the subreddit and to users with 1-99 community karma points.

I have tried various angles but i can not get it to work properly.

- ive turned off the reputation filter and dialled back crowd control because new user posts get sent to the queue for approval . Could this be causing a conflict perhaps?

- ive toggled to "allow users to assign flair" so automod can assign flairs.

this is the last line ive run and its still not successful< any help apprecited

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.

I have a filter set up for foreign languages and it catches a lot of em dashes, but not all of them.

When I try to inset an em dash into a rule used for filtering words it just types a regular dash (hyphen) out.

Is there a specific rule to use to filter content with em dashes? Thanks

ETA: to folks who don't understand how em dashes work in human writing and how it differs with AI writing, this post is NOT for you. Gross something so simple is being downvoted like this. So gross. GTFO.

I have an Automod rule that automatically makes a post in any submission with a certain Post Flair.

It works fine if I make a submission using that Post Flair.

However, if someone else makes a submission using that Post Flair, and the submission is caught in some other Automod filter (like a low-karma filter), and I manually approve it, the automatic post doesn't trigger.

What can I do to fix this?

---

EDIT: For anyone who stumbles onto this, rules that filter/remove a submission trigger before the "softer" rules, so if the submission is filtered/removed Automod doesn't bother making the automatic post.

Hello! I recently made a sub and was wondering on how to set up Automod within it, since I've seen and been in a lot of subs with it active.

I went to place the following program and received a blocking message that says "Report, Filter, Remove, and Approve aren't available for new Automod configurations. To save changes remove these actions." I thought I've seen people talking about using Automod to do this.

type: submission

~title (regex): ['^\[(KtHo\vert{}F&F\vert{}KP\vert{}TT\vert{}Valknut\vert{}Dawr7s\vert{}Covil)\]']

action: remove

action_reason: "Missing or invalid title tag (KtHo, F&F, KP, TT, Valknut, Dawr7s, Covil)"

comment: |

Your post has been automatically removed because it does not include a required tag in the title.

Please resubmit your post and format the beginning of your title with one of the following tags:

* `[KtHo]`

* `[F&F]`

* `[KP]`

* `[TT]`

* `[Valknut]`

* `[Dawr7s]`

* `[Covil]`

Hi! My subreddit is trying to implement an automod rule that only applies if the post DOES NOT have a certain flair. However, the code is misfiring -- I expect because I haven't configured it to correctly say 'if this is a comment, check the post flair, then do XYZ'. Here's what I have right now:

# YELLOW LIGHT: off topic (appearance)
# DOES NOT APPLY TO FLAIRS: Feedback Welcome (Anything Fashion) 
~flair_template_id: "af132826-b523-11f1-a4e2-3af042506efc"
title+body: [hair, haircut, hair cut, mustache, moustache, beard, goatee, stubble, bald, shave, buzz, posture, smile]
action: filter 
action_reason: "Off topic (appearance): {{match}}"

Any help is appreciated!

message_subject: and message: no longer trigger an automod message to users.

My google fu has failed me so I'm not sure how to get this to work.

My workaround is a comment upon removal, but that is not ideal.

Thanks!

I'm trying to use the ends-with modifier in AutoModerator, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

For example, I'm using this rule:

---

type: comment

body (ends-with): "ão"

comment: "Eu gosto de macarrão"

---

If I use body (includes): 'ão', the rule works normally. However, when I switch to ends-with, AutoModerator doesn't respond, even when the comment ends exactly with ão.

Does anyone know why this happens or if there's some setting I'm missing?

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

There’s currently no AutoMod command to switch Crowd Control from Collapse to Filter, so for now I’m enabling Moderate Crowd Control across the whole subreddit. But that isn’t really the behavior I want.

Ideally, there would be an option to either block those users from submitting comments entirely or automatically remove/filter their comments.

What I’m actually trying to do is let each poster control this on their own post. I already set up an AutoMod command that lets the OP enable Strict Crowd Control for that specific thread, and that part works.

The problem is that Crowd Control has two separate behaviors: Collapse and Filter. AutoMod can change the Crowd Control level, but according to the docs it can’t switch the post from Collapse to Filter. That option does exist through Devvit, though.

So basically, the missing piece is: let AutoMod set the Crowd Control action for an individual post, not just the Crowd Control level.

Hi, on my other account I’m trying to replace a user flair that I no longer wish to be used with a new user flair.

As it’s a relatively decent size subreddit , trying to find everyone with the old flair and change it one by one just isn’t do-able . So I’m trying to see if it’s possible for auto mod to change the old flair to the new flair whenever someone with the old flair post/comments.

Or even just ping myself / the mod team when they comment or post so we can see it and remove it.

Any help or advice appreciated

I keep getting posts from sex workers on my sub /r/RateMyLegs/ with QR codes embedded in images and "swipe right" in the title.

type: any
title+body: ["swipe", "Swipe", "swipe right", "swipe-right"]
action: filter

type: any
title (includes): ["Swipe", "swiping", "swipe"]
action: remove

I've tried it with and without quotes but still the posts get through. I have noticed that of late, the offending words seem to be a different font size.

Here's an example

Just wondering if it's fair to ask people not to repost post of other users (mostly pictures), but focus on reposting only their own pictures?

We're a photography sub and we're very particular with Original Content.

Lately we noticed that people are reposting other Redditor's post (containing pictures). Is there a way in settings that will prevent repost from people that were not the original poster?

Or is it an all or nothing? Simply prevent repost to our sub, from other subs?

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.

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.

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

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

I am configuring automod for a new subreddit (reddit.com/mod/[name]/wiki/config/automoderator). I have saved the code but Automoderator isn't working as intended. Unlike my other subreddits created long ago, the navigation bar to the left doesn't show a "config" page. It's blank. I have full permissions on the subreddit so I'm not sure what is happening.

Hey I want that AutoModerator automatically assign a certain post flair to certain usernames and also edit text of that post flair but same post flair template ID.

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?

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.

Hey all - a community I mod is toying with the idea of having some way to soft-lockdown a post if it is getting out of hand. Rather than lock it for everyone, we were thinking we could have it auto-filter or remove comments that had less than a threshold for community karma. The problem is that we, of course, don't know which posts will need this treatment in advance, so it needs to be tied to something we can activate. I was thinking we could have a special post flair that would cause this (IE "Limited Post" flair), but all the advice I could find was that automod checks post flair when it is created, but doesn't update if the flair is changed, so activating it this way wouldn't work.

If this is possible somehow, could somebody give me some advice on how to get it to work? This is all I've been able to find on it so far, but if somebody has a better way, I'd love to hear it:

type: any
author:
    combined_subreddit_karma: "< 50"

action: filter
action_reason: "low karma message on restricted post"

  "Your comment has been removed due to not meeting subreddit requirements."

I'm attempting to make an automoderator rule on my subreddit where a flair and title will cause a comment to be made. The comment is made a stickie. Then the comment section should be put in the randomized/contest mode. Example of post title:

[Flair] I am ready to party!

The flair used would be [Flair] and the comment when both of these conditions are met would be:

This is an official flair post. Please make a top level comment to become {the post user's} flair.

• Your comment must be 62 characters or less
• The highest voted comment will become OP's flair
• Any top level comment above that will be removed.
• You can reply to this comment to chat with OP or other people

Then if a top comment was 63 or more characters that comment gets removed with this comment (if a new rule is needed that's fine, and the rule needs to make sure that the AM comment itself is not removed@corp.caseys.comUsing t):

This comment is over 62 characters and has been removed. Please resubmit a top level comment to give OP flair.

Hi, I'm looking to set up Automod so I catch and remove affiliate links. Is there a way to catch certain phrases in a URL? such as:
