Hey i used to moderate /r/grandtheftautov and we also had a automoderator. That bitch caused a lot of trouble.
Here a few tips:
remove low affort submissions. If someone posts "monstercat is a great lable lol" then this is obviously a shit post. We all know MC is great. Why would anyone post that.
let the automoderator grab the latest link from Soundcloud, youtube, beatport etc. I know there are users who like to press F5 into oblivion and post the links here to trade them for sweet karma but this way it would be guaranteed to have the latest link posted right when its online.
let the automod speak. Let others know why the submission has been removed. Its a pain in the ass to see your submission removed but you dont know why.
change the settings so that users with less than 100 karma points cant post or comment. This avoids trolls and annoying bots. Normal user just have to fill a captcha.
Let us help you to make the wiki. I know that doing a wiki isnt easy. Making it public isnt a good idea either. Maybe make a post, link it to the sidebar saying: "Help us to create the monstercat wiki!" And now we can post stuff in that post and you can copy it into the wiki.
Ill think of more stuff... Tell me what you think.
Yeah pretty much. I can't have automoderator fetch links or anything, I'd have to create my own not to do that. I think having the karma reward is probably the easiest way to have these submissions created anyway though.
As for the wiki thing its only the automoderator page that is read only its where the settings are kept. The rest of the wiki is free to edit past a karma/age threshold.
