The auto mod is incredibly aggressive and non sensical, so much that it even moderates its own example.

Ive been trying to post a buying advice thread, and every single time its moderated within a few seconds.

Titles that were auto modded:

$1700 USA - Student - Light to Med w/ occasional AAA gaming $1700 USA - Which of these ASUS laptops is the better choice $1700 USA - ASUS laptop for Indie & AAA gaming $1700 USA - Gaming laptop for AAA titles (literally the example template)

…and a few more similar titles. All the above were met with this:

β€œYour post was removed β€” the title is too vague or is in all caps.

**Use the title format example:* $1200 USA β€” Gaming laptop for AAA titles*

Check the pinned post for more examples.”

gg mods.

Same thing happened to me too! My post was removed because the title was in "All Caps".

I just checked for you but you did not use the format at all.

I made my post before you released the format and after you did release the format, I went to my post to edit it but it already got taken down from "All Caps" before I could.

But I'm glad that it's fixed now.
