The communities I run aren't REQUIRED to ask questions in their posts, but when they do- it's required that they state the question in the TITLE. Yet we still get a lot of "I have a question to ask." titles still.

Is there a way to have the automoderator check to see if the same photo is submitted twice by a Redditor?

If so can it then be flagged and alert the moderators to take some action?

Hey, myself & the team over on the subreddit we moderate are trying to figure out how to make the title formatted in a certain way and prevent incorretly formated posts from posting.

I made this using ChatGPT but it doesnt work:

---
title: "Enforce specific title format"
type: submission
action: remove
title: "^(\\d{1,3})\\s*\\[(F4(?:MF|FF|MM|MF)|FM4(?:F|M)|MF4(?:F|M))\\]\\s*#\\w+(?:\\s+.+)?$"
comment: |
    Your post title does not follow the required format. Please use the correct format:
    
    `<Age> [<Gender and Target>] #<Location>, <Title>`
    
    Allowed formats include:
    - `F4MF`, `F4FF`, `F4MM`, `FM4F`, `FM4M`, `MF4F`, `MF4M`, `FF4M`, `FF4F`
    
    Example: `25 [F4MF] #California, Looking for a new friends!`
---

What I am after:
Correct format of a posts title: Age [Gender and Target] #Location, Title

Example title:
25 [F4MF] #California, Looking for a new friends!

Hey, myself & the team over on the subreddit we moderate are trying to figure out how to make it so that if a post is out under 1 of our flairs, the title must be formatted in a certain way.

Script:

type: submission
~body+title (includes): ['word1', 'word2']
action: remove
message: |
    Words to the person. There must be
    four spaces at the beginning of each line in this message
---
type: submission
body+title (includes): ['[ISO]', '[TR]'] 
action: approve

What we're after:

Example title: [ISO] Example text here, anything to be approved [TR] Example text here, anything to be approved

ISO & TR are abbreviations for In Search Of & Trading if it's relevant.

We've thought about taking this line from other scripts of ours (although we're unsure if it'd work/where to place it):

flair_text (includes-word): ["Our Selected Flair Name Here"]

Any advice is greatly appreciated! The script is the closest we can find to what we're after, although we're not sure if it'd work (the part about removing certain words isn't what we're after & we're unsure what to do with that part of the script)

Thank you!

Hola, quiero publicar en mi perfil, pero sin tener que darle a aprobar aposta a cada publicación mía, sino que quiero que se publiquen automáticamente. ¿Cómo puedo hacerlo? Es decir, ¿cómo puedo publicar en mi perfil sin pasar por el filtro de moderación? Gracias.

I can no longer access Automod, wiki pages in the redesign on Brave mobile. It seems to be accessable in old.reddit.com and it is insane that it's no longer possible now.

Running into a weird situation with automod and I'm hoping maybe somebody can figure out what's happening.

A sub I help mod is trying to set up a new word filter in automod. It's just a copy and paste of other automod filtering we already use, with the actual terms being filtered changed. When we implemented it though, it's not actually filtering posts.

I took the code to a private sub I mod and did some testing, using the same code as well as verified code from other subs I mod, and nothing is working. With it happening across multiple subs the same way, it makes me thing Reddit issue.

Any audomod code that tries to filter/action is not working. Code that doesn't filter works perfect fine. For example, I have some code to comment a sticky with info but not filter the submission, and that works fine. As soon as I change it to filter the submission, it all stops working.

Here's a link to an image of the automod code we're using, which has been successfully used for years - https://imgur.com/a/0dPUXFL

Any ideas?

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for assistance with setting up a system for r/PrejacLevelTraining that can analyze the content of images in submissions and automatically assign the correct flair based on what’s in the picture.

Here’s the specific scenario:

• The subreddit has flairs labeled "Level 1" to "Level 9".
• These flairs correspond to what the person in the image is wearing (Level 1 - lightly censored images; Level 2 - heavily censored images; Level 3 - bikini, underwear, lingerie; Level 4 - women in dresses or skirts, etc.)
• The goal is to create a bot or Automoderator configuration that can:
  1. Recognize the content of the image.
  2. Assign the appropriate flair automatically or fix the flair if incorrect one was assigned.

My Questions:

1. Is it possible to achieve this with Reddit’s native tools, such as Automoderator, Automations or Comunity Apps?
2. Are there any free, open-source image recognition libraries or APIs that can be integrated into a bot for this purpose? For example:
   • OpenCV (Computer Vision library)
   • TensorFlow or PyTorch models trained for clothing detection
3. If not, how can I set up a bot that uses image recognition (e.g., through Google Vision, AWS Rekognition, or another AI tool) to analyze images and set the correct flair?
4. Has anyone here implemented something similar using only free resources?
5. Are there any ready-made tools, scripts, or frameworks that can help with this?

Requirements:

• Free to Use: The entire solution should rely on free tools, libraries, or services. No paid APIs.
• Image Recognition: The system should be able to detect clothing styles or attributes in the image.
• Flair Automation: Once the image is analyzed, the system should automatically assign the corresponding flair.
• Reddit Integration: Ideally, this solution would work seamlessly with Reddit’s API and require minimal manual intervention.

Additional Considerations:

• If it’s not possible to automate the flairing process fully, I’d be open to suggestions for tools that can assist moderators in reviewing posts and assigning flairs manually.
• I’m comfortable with setting up a bot or script if someone can point me in the right direction or share an example.

Any help, advice, or examples of similar projects would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We are having a lot of spam from multiple accounts posting a similar phrase banned by our community rules.

Can someone help with an automod rule to ban comments that would match all of these samples. Wording is changed slightly due to the community I mod.

Phrase: red sky

1. Look at the red sky.

2. The Red Sky is beautiful.

3. The RED SKY is uncommon.

4. The Red .. Sky is my favorite. (any number of number letter/numbers between words.

So match the characters in any combination of upper and lower case letters with any combination of non-letters and non-numbers between.

As a bonus if you can provide a variant that matches any combination of characters between the two words. Yes I know it is dangerous but we might need to hit that extreme.

When people write a new post on my subreddit, there's an auto-moderator comment that comes right after their post. I'd like to be able to not have this show up in my mod queue when this is removed automatically, along with the post the person made because they had low karma, because it's clogging up 50% of my mod queue with things that are not really relevant.

How do I still filter the person's post without filtering the comment made by auto-moderator?

Hey, sorry to post this again but I keep trying to make an automod that removes comments and posts from users that don't have enough karma on our subreddit. For some reason it just isn't working. I'm still able to comment on an alt account with 1 karma and nothing gets removed. What is going on?

is there anyway to set it so that OP doesn't get locked out of their own post after doing !lock command? so they can run !unlock if desired.

Is this possible? I would like some code to be automatically removed without having it appear in the queue.

For example, if I wanted to remove any post that has the word "image" but ignore the titles with "image unrelated" as long as the image is only used in the phrase.

I have posted something and AutoMod has commented in it that the “thread or comment has been removed due to the submitter having lower than 10 karma to post on the subreddit” or smth like that.

Does that mean that the post was deleted?

I want a reply for automatically for certain questions.

Hi,

I need a script to prevent users with a specific flair "Layperson" from submitting top level comments on posts flaired "Flaired users only".

Can someone please help with this ? Thank you so much !

a subreddit that I moderate has a problem talking about prices which is strictly forbidden. of course I know there's gonna be ways users will work around automod... but I want it to work the best of it's ability for this!

https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoModerator/s/tP7CYJaM2r this is the closest post I was able to find for what I'm looking for I think? Except I believe that this is only for prices $30 or less per post context.

this is also what I have right now, but I don't believe it would work nearly as well as one similar to this link.

title+body: ["price", "prices", "cost", "money", "dollars", "euros", "dollar", "euro", "pricing", "$", "€", "£"] comment: "Your {{kind}} was removed because the discussion of prices is strictly forbidden on this subreddit. If you believe this was done in error, please contact us in ModMail & make sure to provide the link to this post so we can manually review it. Thank you!" action: remove

(PS I know that's not formatted correctly. I am just don't feel like going in adding the indents for an example)

I've searched all the wikis and stuff, and I can't find anything on it. Grrrr!

I run a super small (Like 10 member) subreddit called r/ProjectHotel Most of the time i forget to check my approval and find two are three posts that are 14 days old i havent approved. I dont have a lot of friends or mutals to help mod this place. So im wondering if there is a way to automod this?

Take your basic Automod that triggers when you say that word in a post/comment

body+title: “test” comment: “test”

And now have that automod only work if a certain flair is being used

I have a subreddit that needs archiving before I purge the old posts.

My current script.

type: submission
body#length (regex, full-text): '.{,10}'
moderators_exempt: false
action_reason: |
Your body is too shorter than 10 characters. Please also describe what you're post is about, or it will be removed by the mod team, at a later date!
action: remove
comment: "Your body is too short"

However, I seen posts in my community that have a great long title, and I'm fine if they leave their body blank.

So, is it possible to add the length of the title & body together, and if the total combo is below 10 characters, then remove it.

Incase if I add a bunch of different scripts, and I don't want a really long page.

# Removes rom posts
title: ["download a rom", "rom website", "find a rom", "download rom", "get a rom", "get rom"]
moderators_exempt: false
action: remove
comment: Do not ask how to get roms, rom hacks, or any illegal file!

^ what do I add to remove this stuff for posts (I mean the body area), and not just the title.

Hey! I'm 1 of the moderators over at r/ACForAdults & the team's encountered an issue with a script for the automod. We unfortunately don't know where we've went wrong & would love to know how we can fix the problem, so we can get our subreddit running as good as we can.

The automod script:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoModerator/comments/qu66u8/comment/hkox1f8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

We've indented areas of the script previously & unfortunately, it's still not fixed the issue. We'd love to know if there's any way to fix this, based on the automod script linked above & really appreciate any feedback/suggestions!

Thank you!
