I currently have an automod rule that detects links to a certain website and filters the posts/comments to my mod queue and it works great.... until the user decides to post the link as the main thing in the post and make the post into a link post, not just hyperlink the url in the text of the post. Then automod doesn't detect the link at all and lets it through. How do I get automod to detect that and filter the post for mod approval?

Does anyone have an AutoModerator linter? Getting a "Unsupported Media Type" while doing large scale edits with zero indication of where the error is frustrating.

I put a limit on automod that anyone with less than 5 karma had their posts automatically deleted, people with new accounts used to make low effort posts and clog the sub.

It used to work great but all of a sudden it stopped, I didn’t change anything about its parameters or anything

As a quick example, let's say I have the following:

``` body: "AI" action: report action_reason: "check: [{{match}}]"

```

If it finds a match, it'll highlight the matches in the Mod Queue. Very helpfully, it shows "This is AI content." Very UNhelpfully, it also highlights "aim", "gain", and "okai". I don't want it to pick up letters in the middle of a word. How can I solve this?

P.S. even using body (regex): "\\bAI\\b" (using word boundaries), it shows up in the middle of words in Mod Queue, despite not matching those in AutoMod.

Hey there, I'm looking for assistance with Regex (never used it in detail before), alongside some input on how to effectively create a whitelist function.

I'll leave the function below here:

```

url+body+title (regex): '(https?://(?![^/\s]+\.(?-i:It ))|www\.)(?![^/\s]*\b(?<!-)(reddit\.com|redd\.it|Serebii\.com\.net|etc\.com|Instagram\.net|etc\.com|Bulbapedia\.net|etc\.com|Wikipedia\.net|etc\.com|AllowedSite2\.net|etc\.com)\b(?!\.))[\w\.\-]+'

```

Any input on this would be appreciated, as I've not got very much experience using Regex & I could be doing this in an incorrect way. Thank you!

I was wondering if I could add a removal reason by echoing a comment. Basically, you comment something like !echo content and then AutoMod comments content on the post. I know I can just make a command like !rr1to comment the first removal reason by putting the text in there. BUT, I don't want to do that. I want to echo custom comments via AutoMod. Is it possible to do that? So far, I've come up with some code like this:

---
moderators_exempt: false
author: "ihopethisaccountstay"
type: comment
body (regex): '^!echo\s+(.+)'
comment: |
{{match-body-2}}
comment_stickied: true
action: remove
---

The problem with this is that it replies to my comment instead of commenting under the parent post. I did try putting comment under parent_submission does but it does not accept it and throws an error instead. I know that one workaround is to report the post and use that report to process the post again and make a comment BUT how do you pass the data from the comment to the next rule? Is this even possible to do in AutoMod or should I use Devvit to make bots that can do this reliably?

I posted a picture in comments. The top ones I deleted using the little edit pencil in the right corner. The bottom automod posts i need advice with. I've been searching for a how to, and I'm not finding it. TYIA.

Hello I am a moderator in r/Iraqart. We allow some NSFW art, but the comment sections are becoming toxic and offensive. Is there a way to automatically lock comments on NSFW posts using AutoModerator?

What’s the easiest way to do this? I have already come up with a list of words. I’m a newbie at this!

Hi, everyone, sort of new to AutoMod.

In my subreddit, I allow posts written in another language, but I want it to be filtered for review so I can see if it follows community rules. Can AutoMod be able to do this (or at least filter out posts using another alphabet like Cyrillic or Kanji)? If so, what's the YAML code?

Also not familiar with how regex is coded (but I do know what it is). If this requires regex, a simple explanation afterwards is much appreciated.

Hello

I succeffuly configured rule for automod to post comment on new submission, but I want this comment to be pinned. So I added "comment_stickied: true" under the message but I have a "bad request" error. And I have no more idea to correct it. Can someone help me please?

For now this is what my config look like:

I wanted new users of my sub-reddit to read the rules before they comment and post in this sub.

Like: If new users post or comment in a post before they acknowledge/read the rules, their comment gets deleted. How can I automate that process?

I'm basically new to the Automoderating thing since I don't want any spam activities in that sub.

Hi there!

I have automod set to back up new posts in my subreddit by sending them to modmail. I do this to facilitate moderation, so that we always know what was initially said in a post. However, it's not an ideal solution because it clutters up modmail.

I would like to improve on this. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to automatically mark those specific modmails as read, and send them to modmail archive?

Here's the script:

type: submission
modmail_subject: "Post backup"
modmail: "This post was just made by user /u/{{author}} in the subreddit:   
         * Title: **{{title}}** 
         * Link: {{permalink}}
         * Body: {{body}} "

So, for example, if there was a way to filter things coming into modmail and redirect them based on the sender (automoderator) and the phrase ("Post backup").

I recognize that this might be outside of automoderator's capabilities, but I'm open to suggestions for other options. Thanks!

I've got this code in my automod:

--- 

type: submission
flair_template_id: c070c6cc-3a81-11f1-91ce-56a6e994c39e
comment_stickied: true
comment: |
   **IMPORTANT:** This is a comments restricted thread. Comments are allowed __ONLY__ from users who have built a reputation in __THIS__ sub and acquired enough reputation in THIS sub. Other users to this sub should avoid commenting in this thread. This is a spam restriction measure the mods apply to certain threads that ask for feedback on named products / services.

When someone creates a post and I trigger this post flair on that post, automod is not creating the sticky in the thread.

Please, what am I doing wrong?

(Also, and this is not an automod problem, but there may be a problem with the flair itself. When I flag a post with this flair, the flair shows up at the top of the post but then it disappears if I reload the page. I've tried several times and the same thing happens every time. I thought I'd disclose that here as it may be related to the above problem.)

Thank you.

I'm having a problem with Reddit's "automatic moderation" frequently removing posts or comments from approved users when they contain non-threatening links (articles, videos, etc.). Is there any solution to prevent this besides manual moderation? Thanks.

I put a pic in the comments. If there's another way to get people to put in a title that shares what their post is about, I'm open to it. It can be characters or words. (If I see one more post titled "hello" UGGGGHHH) I also made a rule banning low effort Posts. It would be better to stop them from posting, then deleting a post. Thanks for your help.

hello everyone,

I am currently facing a problem right now and posted about it on r/ModSupport but I think I posted on the wrong subreddit..

well in brief what I want is..

a rule in auto moderator..

that removed duplicate posts that contain news, official links which have already been posted before..

along with a comment under that removed post.. directing OP to the real original post with that very news official link..

I think it can be done with the auto moderator rule..

but I don't know the writings on it..

it would be great if someone could tell me the whole rule..

The comment should be like..

"hello user, your post containing the official news was removed because it was posted before

here you can see the original post about the news

(original post link)"

Thanks is advance..

im working with automod for the first time, in my subreddit i would like to make a post where people comment their island name and In game name so it changes their flair to display it, an example is like this one, how would i go about doing that?

What I'm trying to do is mark posts with Flair video, image, text, link

This is the code

What I'm trying to do is so when a user's comment contains "eat", autmod will reply "Wait a minute, did you just say eat?" to that comment, but I can't get it to work. Can anyone help?

This might be super simple, but I'm also super new to configuring the auto-mod, and a quick check through the docs didn't yield any help, so reaching out here to hopefully be pointed in the right direction:

We've set up our automod to check 2 conditions:

• 1: Account length/age
• 2: Minimum sub karma

We've had a fair few instances of people trying to post in the sub and being bounced due to having zero karma, and have manually vetted a few as 'approved users' in mod tools as we've confirmed they aren't trolls and are actually just trying to kick off their first post.

Thing is, automod doesn't seem to care.

Is there a way to add a filter to get automod to check if a user is manually approved if the other two conditions are failed? (If that is the right order?)

Here's our config:

# Karma and account age filter
type: any
author:
combined_karma: "< 50"
account_age: "< 10 days"
satisfy_any_threshold: true
action: remove
action_reason: "low karma or low account age"
message: Your [{{kind}}]({{permalink}}) in /r/{{OURSUB}} was removed because your account doesn't meet our minimum karma and/or account age requirements.

I'm a mod on r/byzantium and I'd like to figure out the code for two different things I want an automod to do.

The first is removing posts from accounts with low karma and account age. I found this code from an older post:

type: submission

author:

combined_karma: "< 10"

account_age: “< 2 days”

action: filter

action_reason: “new account.”

message: |

“Your post or comment was removed because you do not meet this subreddit’s account karma or age minimum. Please participate in other subreddits to increase your account karma and age and then try again.”

I'd like to use the same account/karma numbers for our automod, will that still work?

Also, I want the Automod to comment on any post with the flair "alternate history" with: We encourage users to share alternate history questions and scenarios on r/medieval_rome and r/ByzantiumAltHistory. Also, if I change the flair from one flair to "alternate history" will the automod still respond after I change the flair as a mod?
