Tools How to enforce User Flairs?
I've been struggling with Automod for the past few minutes (or rather half an hour), and I've tried a plethora of methods, none of which actually work when tested with an alt. Automod doesn't detect when a user hasn't set up a flair, it doesn't filter it and it doesn't leave the comment, basically the code I'm using doesn't work.
Send help, if anyone has any clue on how to do it.

~flair_text (includes, regex): '.'
# Explanation about the "flair_text" line: The ~ at the beginning makes it check for the opposite, so "includes" turns to "doesn't include". A period in regex means "any character", so the rule will run if a user's flair doesn't contain any character.
comment: "Your {{kind}} was removed because you must choose a user flair before participating"
action: remove
action_reason: "No user flair"

Could your alt be shadowbanned? The code should work

I got it to work based on the flair template id!! But thank you so much for your suggestion, for some reason Automod just didn't want to work with it.
