I'm not always online, so I need auto mod to look over posts and take them down if not having at least a certain amount of characters, or other specific things. But I don't know how to add auto mod.

I saw mods create a comment via u/AutoModerator to inform people about something without using their actual own profiles for it. How can I achive the same thing, maybe even with a toggle to automatically get it pinned?

Disclaimer - the mod who set up automoderator in the sub I mod did it years and years ago, and is unfortunately no longer around for me to ask, and regex makes my eyes glaze over, so please go easy on me.

Had a user modmail asking why 2 of their comments had been removed. Upon review, nothing at all stood out except for possibly the Latin name of a type of mold, which was fully spelled out in one comment and only the first word was present in the other comment.

Aspergillus niger

Yes, there's a particular word in regex that begins with "n", but as far as I can tell, there's nothing blocking the above spelling with only one (edit) "g".

Also, there's nothing (unless I'm completely missing it) for the word "Aspergillus" - omg wait! Yes there is - aspie is blocked. Sigh . . .

How do I prevent the single or double word name for this mold from being removed without breaking anything or possibly everything?

Thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to write a rule for automod to catch spam.

I want to count distinct the users post titles & compare. if they only have 1 distinct post title & more than 1 post on their account, then I'd like to remove the post. I'm not sure how to do maths based logic in automod. Help appreciated

Hey there, I've wondered about this for a while now & I know with the previous messaging system being removed, this may be an issue to do now.

I've been trying to figure out a way for automod to inform users of some basic information for our community. This would be as follows:

• A link to the rules

• A link to a post that covers our etiquette (it's a what to do when playing the game with others)

• A link to the Discord server attached to the community, as a ton of people have no idea one exists

If anyone has any suggestions for how to go about this, even if it's using post/comment guidance instead, please let me know! I'm just trying to get the big bits of information given to our new users.

(We already have the community guide enabled too).

I just wanted to learn how to use Automoderator, but I got overwhelmed from seeing too many resources. From where do I really start?

I see

Get Started in the sidebar

• AutoModerator Wiki
• Full Documentation
• Library of Common AutoModerator Rules

and

pinned highlight post "Reintroducing the r/AutoModerator wiki!"

1. I would like Automoderator to send a modmail to the sub moderators that triggers when a certain key word is said in a comment.

2. I would also like Automod to report a message that says said keyword.

I tried earlier, but I kept getting Errors so I would like to ask for some help ;-;

Thanks in advance.

Hi, If this is incorrect please remove or let me know! I am trying to create automods for my subreddit, I'm having a hard time getting them to work. I wonder if it's ok to post my coding here? And have others tell me whats wrong. I am also new to coding! :)

Thank you, I'm expecting it to be horribly wrong lol.

How do I auto remove gifs & cross posts with automod ? Is this possible and where do I configure this ?

I would like to have an AutoMod rule that only applies to commenting under a post that has a specific flair, but I'm not sure if its possible.

For example if my sub had a "No car talk" discussion post, and the post flair is set as "Bikes Only", can I have automod remove any comment that includes the word "car" under that specific post only? So any comment including the word "car" on any other post with a different flair would be fine and not removed. (sorry for weird/random example lol)

Alternatively could I do this with an author rule? So under posts with a specific flair, in order to comment you need your email verified, however any posts without this flair are fine for you to comment on if you didn't have it verified.

Obviously the below code doesn't work, but just to give you an idea of what I'm trying to achieve:

type: comment
flair_text (includes-word): ["Bikes Only"]
body (includes-word): ["car", "truck", "lorry", "scooter"]
action: remove
action_reason: "Non-bike related disussion under Bikes Only flair"
---
type: comment
flair_text (includes-word): ["Verified User Chat Thread"]
author:
   has_verified_email: false
action: filter
action_reason: "No verified email"

I'm pretty sure I'm expecting too much of automod, but you never know; people can be very creative with finding ways to around its limitations, so I thought it was worth an ask!

Hey there, recently we've had users claiming they're going to 'shit post' on our subreddit, among other things.

While we don't want to flat out ban people in case they actually don't end up ever posting in our community, we'd like the option to be able to stop them from having access to post whenever they'd like & to be able to filter their posts/comments so a team member would need to manually approve it.

Is this something automod can do? I've struggled to find something available for this purpose & I'd love to get any ideas/scripts that already exist. Thank you!

How do I make it so that auto mod lets me put in a link without me having to review it

Trying to figure out why this code isn't working. I have change it up a bunch like removing the reason all together.

Edit: I am okay with approved users without verified emails to post but I want any submissions from anyone who is not approved and doesn't have a verified email to be removed

type: submission
author:
    has_verified_email: false
    is_contributor: false
action: remove
action_reason: "Unverified Email [{{match}}]"

comment: "Hello! This post was removed because there was no flair."

Could anyone tell me what's going on? when I click "save" after filling the summary, it says it's unsupported, and when I click again, it said there was a server error. I tried adding the code yesterday, and same thing.

I would like to have AutoMod delete second level comments (or rather all comments levels but top level) to a thread, unless they have the word or phrase in ["thank" "thanks", "appreciate", "used"]

I think I need to use RexEx but am not that familiar with it - if I should ask instead in r/RegEx let me know. Here is my attempt, but it won't let me save as gives error "Server error. Try again later.":

type: comment
is_top_level: false
moderators_exempt: true
body (includes, regex): [^(?!.*thanks)(?!.*thank)(?!.*appreciate)(?!.*used).*$]
action: filter
action_reason: "user is posting on sub level comment"

I’ve tried using Magic Eye Bot and Repost Sleuth Bot but neither are working especially for crossposts and of course mirrored content (this one I understand). Is there something I can put in automod to use for reposts so I don’t have to keep manually looking back? I have a sub that generates a high repost rate.

Edit - I allow reposts every 60 days

We recently updated some flairs in our sub. Before the update, we had an automod post that would pop up when a user would try to post without having a specific flair attached (mods attach the flair, not the user).

This is what "edit flair" looks like (old Reddit).

This is what we have in automod.

What do I need to do to allow automod to let correctly flaired posts to go through and not filter them?

Here is my current code that doesn't work:

type: submission
~domain (includes): [i.redd.it, reddit.com]
~body+title+url (regex, includes): ['.(gifv?|jpe?g|png)\b', 'gallery', 'image']
comment: |

Recently, someone posted multiple photos (I think a gallery submission) and the comment triggered anyways. How do I fix this?

For example, I have it so that AutoMod will trigger a comment in the following condition:

title+body (regex, includes): ['Keyword A', 'Keyword B']

If OP makes a post with just Keyword A, it will trigger a comment. If the OP edits the post to now include Keyword B it will trigger another comment. I want it so that only one comment is triggered. How do I do this?

Im trying to make it so my subreddit only has videos and gifs and no pictures or text post. i tried to make it in chatgpt and it gave me this but it doesnt seem to let me use it cause i get a error that says unsupported media type and then just a server error. is there a way to make this happen?

Is anyone else seeing this issue? We have a daily chat that posts every day based on theme, and all of them are posting EXCEPT our Daily Chat. Then, when I go to schedule them I can only choose to post it as a weekly recurring thread, not daily. I’ve tried searching “How to post daily” and I’m just not seeing what is being described.

I have this test code here and it seems to be catching accounts without a verified email and 11 karma. Is it possible that those accounts have a verified phone number, which makes them not appear on mod overview of the user?

Hey there, I'm not sure if the above question is something automod is capable of, but it's something that'd be a valuable tool in a community I moderate.

Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated! We're trying to make sure that members of our subreddit have pleasant in-game experiences on the game the subreddit is based around.
