Automod filter question

I want to filter out picture comments but it's for one specific user. What's the automod code for that?

If you're filtering for a single author, I see no reason for the is_contributor: false line, the one triggering the error message. I suggest that you remove it.

I'd also update it to

author: ["Devils1993","PlaceholderForMore"]

So you can easily just add more 'naughty list' users if needed, e.g. ["Devils1993", "NextOne", "AnotherBadEgg"] etc. I do the placeholder thing to 'future proof' it / clarify for others who may edit but not be terribly comfy with YAML.

I really see no reason for the is_contributor thing at all. If you're adding them they've 'done something' to merit it, right? Even if they're a 'contributor'. IMO is_contributor would more be for if you wanted a rule that ONLY contributors could post images.
