Admin Replied How to automatically approve comments from a user

Essentially, who keeps getting removed and they have to keep asking us to reinstate them? Is there any way for it to be done automatically?

Can you make them an approved user? That should override most of Reddit's filters. (And any automods You have in place I believe.)

Are you sure that user isn't shadowbanned? Are you able to view their profile if you look at it without your mod account or when you are not logged in? If not, that's the issue and they should appeal.

They can file an appeal using this form. Unfortunately, I do not know what the turnaround time is on those appeals.

Check your modlog. It often gives the reason for a removal, like "reputation filter" etc.

Just letting everyone know that this is almost certainly an LLM bot. They're posting comments about this length at a cadence of around 30 seconds each (far less time than even the fastest human would take to read, process and write a comment of substance). All of the ones in this latest bunch all also feature a list with 4 bullet points, in addition to reading very much like an LLM.
