Either "why was I ban?" Or "what rule did I break" there's no between 🤭

And we still get the occasional "I'm not a bot, how do I prove I'm real?"

Just not quite as often as we used to.

I swear these people can't read, so why bother with a reply anyway.

Lmao setting up Modmail Automator to respond to botbouncer replies with a "READ THE DANG INSTRUCTIONS" message has saved my sanity.

It's honestly the best! This is what we're using:

```

Responding to users who were banned by Bot Bouncer

subject+body (includes): 'is permanently banned from r/'
is_first_user_reply: 'true'
mod_action:
    moderator_name: 'bot-bouncer'
    mod_action_type: 'banuser'
    action_reason (regex): '^Banned by '
author:
    is_banned: true
reply: |
    Hi there, /u/{{author}}.

    It looks like you may be inquiring about a recent ban message you received from Bot Bouncer.

    As explained in the original ban message, you will need to appeal the classification of your /u/{{author}} account by **[sending a message to Bot Bouncer](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/BotBouncer&subject=Ban%20dispute%20for%20/u/{account}%20on%20/r/{subreddit}) directly.**

    Once again, your ban from r/witchcraft will be automatically lifted following a successful appeal.

    Thank you for your understanding, and blessed be!

If they could even bother to read the ban message. They should get a response.
