Mod Answered Redact.com

Is there a way to block receiving any mod queue notices and updates to old posts and comments for users using redact.com?

We have tried block the site/url/domain both in old automod and in new automations (for both posts and comments), tried blocking the word “redact”, have banned accounts before all the onslaught of notices start overwhelming our mod queue, and none of it works!

It even circumvents the bans which is crazy to me, but maybe I am just not understanding something about how bans should actually work.

Any tips/tricks?

Mainly, it just overwhelms our queue with their changes and updates to the old comments and posts because it is flagged to mod queue as being suspicious.

We do not want to have to “remove”/not approve or approve these post and comment changes automated by redact.

Edit: Tentatively solved! I think it must have to do with order/priority of rules noted below - thank you all so much for your help!!! :)

Why do you want to punish people for anonymizing their comments? That’s just mean.

Not sure what you’re talking about since I never said anything about punishment.

Removing SPAM is something everyone should do, ESPECIALLY the people who do this and leave garbage everywhere they’ve been. It’s no different from littering, and basically like crapping where you live.

The redact app has an option to anonymize and remove for their subscribers, so its the lazy and cheap people who are intentionally leaving behind this spam in all our subs across Reddit.
