In the subreddit I moderate, the following lines remove posts that do not satisfy the posting requirements, and hold them for manual approval:

author:
    account_age: < 90 days
    combined_karma: < 400
    satisfy_any_threshold: true
type: submission
action: remove 
action_reason: Potential Bot Activity
comment: [instructions on how to get post reapproved]

However, sometimes users with a new accounts post frequently, having to go through the reapproval process every single time. Thus, I would like to make it so that I can exempt a list of specific accounts from such autoremovals. Is this possible to implement?

I started my subreddit on r/CinnamorollClub almost three years ago and I gotten really good at so far. But I’m having a hard time figuring out how does it work. Also, to keep my subreddit friendly and clean without any violation. Plus, I do need a moderator for my subreddit if you are interested. Thank you

I was hoping If someone could help me, or if it was possible.

But, I'd like to remove comments with less than 300 karma, but allow low karma if they are the OP of the post.

Is this possible?

I am using the following below.

type: comment author: combined_karma: "< 300" message: "Your comment was removed due to low karma" action: remove action_reason: "Comment by a user with low karma"

I have an automod rule to make a comment on every new post with the title post and body, I also want to include the post flair

I've never used regex before and have been searching for a way to require the title be "title [sex] (artist).

This is what i tried using but i don't know if it works or not

--- # AutoMod Rule for Title Format Enforcement

moderators_exempt: false

type: submission title (regex, full-exact): '#\w+ \[#\w+]\ \(#\w+)\'

action: remove

action_reason: "Rule 4: Post does not comply with required title format." comment: | Your post has been removed because the title does not follow the required format. Please use the format Title [Sex] (Artist) for your title. If you believe this removal is a mistake, please contact the moderators.

Members of one subreddit have mistaken the purpose of my subreddit, and are cross-posting posts from their subreddit into my subreddit. I've now banned four users in the past month, but the cross-posts keep coming.

I've tried setting up an AutoMod condition to remove these cross-posts, but it's not matching them:

type: submission

domain+title+body: ["OtherSubreddit"]

action: remove

Can someone please help? What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this code to identify and remove cross-posts from this other subreddit?

Just cuz the visual comments from AutoMod clutter up threads so am just trying to fix that. Thanks.

We're a story-heavy gaming sub, and we'd like to remove a comment if it isn't spoiler tagged properly, either not within one or broken tags. Is that even possible?

Can do title type "I have 53X" = remove. And "I have 53 years" = pass/ok

​

English is not my native language

I want to create a short message + a few links on best posts. How to do it?

I don't understand this part of the automoderator: I have two different rules with different conditions, but they are executed immediately together because the first rule makes it so that the condition of the second rule is met:

Explanation: 
Rule 1
If author makes submission= set userflair to A

Rule 2
If author makes submission AND HAS userflair A= set userflair to B

Now when OP makes his submission, the userflair gets set to B immediately (in the first post). But i need that the userflair is set to A in the first post, and when OP makes another post it's supposed to be set to B.

Does anyone have an idea?

I tried using "is_edited: false" in the second rule, but that killed it. I tried putting rule 2 at the top or at the bottom of the Automoderator, but that didn't solve it yet.

My subreddit is focused entirely on text, and it would be very convenient to ban more than just the 15 words that are standard on Reddit.

Thank you for your attention!

Is this possible? Keywords like "GGK", "INFO", or "LKG" (if either of this keywords are used, it will not be removed). We just want the comments to have this specific keyword in their comment response so it wont go off topic.

1. match keyword
2. set flair + 1 report
3. match flair + 1 report
4. approve or remove (depending on other matchers)

I see you cannot check for multiple types.

I have an array of keywords to remove when they are NOT a text submission.

I don't want to have to duplicate this array for every other submission type (ie post, gallery, etc).

All text submissions should be approved when they have any of these keywords, all other types removed.

How can I accomplish this?

I'm attempting to use the following rule with automod:

---
is_edited: true
~body#1 (regex, full-exact): ".{0,300}"
author:
    comment_subreddit_karma: > 11
    contributor_quality: > low
    satisfy_any_threshold: true
action: approve
---

However, automod keeps giving me an error message when I try to save, reading that a have an invalid value for the contributor_quality field. How can I get around this?

for two hours I have scoured the index. I cannot find how to correct this

body+title: [act.rootsaction.org, actblue.com, actionsumofus.org, activism.thenation.com, avaaz.org, change.org, chn.ge, credomobilize.com,

I moderate a subreddit that uses the “body_shorter_than” automod rule. If a user submits a post that doesn’t meet the requirement, automod filters the posts & sends the user a message asking them to edit their post to add more body text. What I’m looking for is a way to unfilter posts once users edit them to meet the requirement. Perhaps this could be done by having automod mark which posts were previously filtered via editing the post’s flair css class and combining that with the “is_edited” rule? I don’t want automod to mistakenly approve posts that weren’t previously filtered, nor do I want it to erase the post’s original flair set by the author.

I need the same kind of notification I get when someone has posted something. But for comments.

It seems like there is a new auto mod called crowd control that removes posts based on...something. any information on how that mod works?

Hey all,

Would you give an example of an automoderator rule that requires a user to have minimum comment in a sub to post a thread in that sub AND will tell a user what their comment karma in a sub is?

Happy Sunday

Hello! I'd like to kindly ask for some assistance with setting up the Meta Drama Alert rule for automod.

From the automoderator wiki:

"Meta Drama Alert
Alert the moderators that content on their subreddit has been linked to from elsewhere on Reddit.
This rule takes advantage of the existence of /u/TotesMessenger, which detects links to other subreddits and comments to alert users that their content has been linked to from elsewhere on reddit.
This rule requires that /u/TotesMessenger not be banned (or bot banned) from your subreddit.
If you don't want to remove the /u/TotesMessenger comment, remove the top-level action and action_reason lines."

My co-moderators and I have interpreted this to mean that we would be alerted via modmail should our subreddit be linked to elsewhere on Reddit with an "r/....". Is that actually what this rule does or did we misunderstand it? We'd like to set it up for that reason (to let us know where our subreddit is being linked), but haven't been able to successfully get it to work so far.

- u/TotesMessenger is an approved user on our sub

- what we have tried out is both of the rule setups suggested in the automoderator wiki under the Meta Drama Alert section, though sadly neither has worked.

Any help or input would be much appreciated! <3

My apologies. Im going to attempt to post a jpeg here of what my automoderator page looks like. I am a visual learner when it comes to technical things. I will upload jpeg if this will allow. Not seeing it yet.

If I am correct, I am NOT actually looking at the Automoderator page am I? This is just the index?

This is where I got confused elsewhere, I'm trying not to make the same mistake again. Do I create a new page from the index page that I am on? or /config? If I use index as an automoderator, i am sure it will not work. Is that why the upper portion looks like a table of contents with links? Then the lower portion is a wreck, a hot mess?

I've taken the time to resize second image showing top part that appears like a Table of Context Links

What do I need to do from the index page? or from back at /config page?

I cannot attach a picture the tab atop this message I'm typing gives me a NO ENTRY circle in red

I have a post flair that is 'KathDen Sightings' which is news or sighting about the subject of our sub. I was hoping that such flairs must have an image, video, or link on them to ensure that the news or sighting is at least verified. I tried combine two command? Here's what I entered:

---

# Image/Video/ Link submission only for KathDen Sightings

~type+id: gallery submission

type: submission

~domain: ["i.redd.it"]

url: "/?f=flair_name%3A"KathDen%20Sightings"

set_flair: "KathDen Sightings"

action: remove

action_reason: "Post is not an image or gallery"

comment: "Your post was removed because we only allow image posts on this subreddit."

set_locked: true

Problem is it wont allow it. It says:
1). YAML parsing error in section 8: while parsing a block mapping in "<unicode string>", line 3, column 5: ~type+id: gallery submission ^ expected <block end>, but found '<scalar>' in "<unicode string>", line 9, column 29: url: "/?f=flair_name%3A"KathDen%20Sightings" ^

I wanted links to be allowed as well. I just want to know if this is even possible? Thank you

Please help with these specific entries in my automod: I need to know

• Are these called, rules, entries, or what technically speaking
• What is wrong with each? Syntax , indent? etc.
• What did you need to do to make it right? Rephrase, indent, action, whole rule?

My goal is to not only get it right but to learn. Like, all of it. I want to be able to see the error immediately. I know not everyone would be able to that, but I'd like to try, plus I did not write my automod. Another person did and it didn't all work then either. I have these little errors all over my automod. These are only a few, so I have more to correct. No, this did not retain my indentations. Sigh...

EDITED to say indents weren't retained in my posting this. I have part of automod showing as "table of contents" part showing in "phrases"? I guess, and Im really getting frustrated when I really don't want to. I am trying to learn.

Hello,

I do not have much experience with writing automod so any help is greatly appreciated 🙏

When a post submission breaks multiple rules (example rules 1 and 2), automod will remove the post and comment that user broke rule 1 (usually the first rule in the automod script). How do I make automod comment to the user that they broke rules 1 and 2? The problem is, the user will read and fix their post to comply with rule 1, only to have their second post removed for not complying with rule 2.

These are the codes:

Rule: Submissions must be longer than 140 characters.

type: submission  
body_shorter_than: 140
action: remove  
action_reason: "short submission (Under 140 Characters)"
comment: |-
    Hi /u/{{author}}, your post has been removed because it breaches Rule #13 of /r/{{subreddit}}. "The body of your post must contain at least 140 characters.

Hi friendly internet people! I want to create some rules for titles, but regex makes my brain hurt so hoping someone can help!

Basically I want all posts to follow this required format for titles: "[Age] – #Location – Details" which could look like "[30] – #NYC – Friend for Coffee" but can't for the life of me figure it out.

I'd be very grateful if someone could assist! Thank you thank you!

I'm relatively literate when it comes to most things but setting up auto moderator has me totally lost for some reason. I have a group of only about 3500 members but I want to try doing away with the spammers. Can anyone help me with setting up some auto rules?

I've noticed a lot of subreddits get overrun by bot-like behavior from accounts with a lot of Post karma but little Comment karma that spam the sub with links to whatever crap they're pushing.

I'd like to prevent that behavior automatically, while still being able to encourage new users to engage in the discussion.

If I could put link posts from low comment karma users on hold pending Mod approval, but still allow new users to post their jokes and memes and engage with the comments, that'd be great!

At present time such sticky comments are collapsed by default. Which is totally counter productive since the goal of Automod comments is to make sure users read them before they actually start to comment. I highly doubt users have the curiosity to tap the sticky comments in order to read them. Totally frustrating on the Admin side. Because non sticky comments are pushed at the bottom once people start to comment which makes them almost invisible to new commenters.
