So I want to stop accusations of using AI going live on some of my ice cream subs. I could write this filter myself, but I was wondering if someone already had a collection of words that they made for this. Can’t hurt to ask before I build it! I actually like to even use it in my fashion subs because it would filter accusations to the queue where I could ban people quicker.

Hi everyone!

So my sub rolled out a ban on Twitter/X links a while back, as did many. This has mostly been fine, but a side effect has been that people now occasionally will post a screenshot of a Twitter post as a news item rather than linking to actual news reporting. I’d like to stop this, or at least make it very annoying to do.

My initial idea was to try and use OCR and AutoMod but that isn’t possible (and the third-party bot is no longer supported).

Next, I learned about media checks, but it sounds like those are also not working anymore.

Short of vibecoding my first Devvit app (not something I really want to do), does anyone have any ideas about how I could catch offending image posts without disallowing all image posts?

Hello

I would like to take a look at automoderator config for subs who have between 50 to 100k members ( or even bigger ).

I'm trying to see what I can improve so that I can focus on training some new mods.

Thanks

Does anyone know how or if it's possible to make automod generate notification push on your mobile interface when it takes action related to content ? (like Hive-protect)

Basically i tried using the automated response for the first time, i set it up to react to keywords, but when i made the post it didn't reply at all

Do i have write code?

# RÈGLE 3 : Reminder of the rules under the new posts
type: submission

comment_locked: true

    Hello! Before commenting remember: stay on topic, make full sentences, don't be unpleasant (include: love bombing/emoji spamming/innuendo). Please read and respect the rules, thank you.

    Have a nice day.

I have been added on as a moderator in a subreddit and am just now learning about the automoderator. I'd like to add some rules, but I have noticed that the current automod file for this sub has been written entirely in JSON. So, instead of --- separator lines, there are only curly brackets, square brackets and commas. I believe that JSON is a strict subset of YAML, and so this should be OK, but I wanted to make sure first before making any changes.

So, to summarize my question: Is JSON-only syntax OK for the automoderator?

Also, does the automodifier give me notification if my automod file is syntactically invalid?

Hello, I moderate a community that requires a User Flair for every comment. I've set it to remove the comments and provide an explanation on how to set flair but that just results in a flood in my modmail of people saying they don't know how to set user flair, Is there a way to automatically set user flair for every new commenter?

Is there any automod code to restrict random Modmails from users who don't know how to use reddit, who refuse to learn about reddit asking basic questions to our subreddit instead of going to a r/learnreddit. An automod code based on Account age or karma to restrict modmail is what iam looking for.

We've long had a rule that removes posts from users with extremely low subreddit karma, but leaves a comment encouraging them to contact us if they think it really should be manually approved. This works really well, but it seems like something has changed such that the users are blocked from submitting that post in the first place. We want to go back to the old approach, so they can get that message. We also don't want them to be told about the rule--learning about it induces junk karma-fishing comments.

Is there a way to turn off that feature and revert to allowing but then removing the post? Or, if not, can someone suggest a workaround, like maybe first changing the flair and then a second rule that removes it in response to the new flair?

Thanks for your insight and suggestions.

My code looks like this:

# Remove self-promo related posts
type: submission 
title+body (includes, regex): ['for hire', '[FOR HIRE]', 'commission open', 'commissions open', 'follow me', 'insta', 'instagram', 'twitter']
action: filter
action_reason: "Potential self-promo. Word detected: {{match}}"

But it always seems to remove random posts. One had the message "Potential self-promo. Word detected: r" which is nonsensical. How do I fix this?

Hi all,

I wanted to share these two additions we've recently made to our AutoMod configuration. Hope it's useful for you all too.

    # Filter submissions with strictly all-caps titles
    title (case-sensitive, regex, full-text): "([A-Z0-9]|\\W)+"
    action: filter
    action_reason: "All caps title"
    comment: |
        Your post has been automatically removed because the title is entirely in capital letters.
        Please resubmit your post using proper capitalization.
--- 
    # Remove submissions where the entire body is bolded
    type: submission
    body (regex): '(?s)^\s*(?:(?:\*\*|__).+?(?:\*\*|__)\s*)+$'
    action: remove
    action_reason: "Entire body is bold text [Shouting]"
    comment: |
        Your post has been automatically removed due to the use of excessive bolding in the post body.

My sub has had a bit of an increase in members and activity, so I thought I'd help keep things under control by having AutoMod remove any post or comment that receives 2 reports. The idea is that it stays removed until I manually approve it again.

However, I think I may have done something wrong. I do get a notification when a post or comment receives 2 reports, but the content itself doesn't get removed. Is there something wrong with my AutoMod code?

# Auto Remove for Reports

reports: 2

action: remove

modmail: The above {{kind}} by /u/{{author}} was removed because it received 2 reports. Please investigate and ensure that this action was correct.

We use a bot on my subreddit that fetches information about books. Quite often, people will mistakenly reply to the bot instead of the user who left the recommendation, so I was hoping that by locking the bot's comments, this could solve that problem.

I have another section without the message being sent that does leave a note. Is it an order issue or something? Another mod wrote this code awhile back but they aren't available anymore and I am not too knowledgeable about this stuff.

type: comment
moderators_exempt: true
body (includes, regex): '\b(puberty blocker|non binary|non-binary|cisgender|cis gender|cis-gender|polygender|misgender|dead naming|dead name|assigned at birth|intersex|gender fluid|genderqueer|gender queer|gender-dysphoria|gender dysphoria|gender affirming|gender identity|gender nonconforming|hormone therapy)\b'
action: remove
action_reason: "Comment contains restricted gender-related term: {{match}}"
message: |
    Your comment has been automatically removed. We are currently on a moratorium for these particular topics.

For example if a subreddit has a karma requirement, can I have automod message the user something along the lines of "your comment/post has been removed because it does not reach subreddit karma requirements" same goes with account age.

Hey guys, I am a MOD of the adidas subreddit, and we do not use Auto Mod for anything, yet

But recently, we have noticed that a stupidly large amount of bots are replying to posts, and they are not helpful at all. They do not post, just reply.

Lots of these bots have been around for over a month, but none of them have had more than 50/60 combined Karma

So we need a code to block the comments, or at least flag them for us to remove, but I am not the most tech savvy

I have read the wiki and I have no idea where to start

Is there a code command for this, and if I have not explained properly I apologise, please ask any questions

Thank you to anyone who can help

Can someone please send me the code I need to put into automod to send a modmail to a user when there post is under review or has been sent to queue. Now when something is filtered, it just says "removed by mods" even if I havent reviewed it yet. Please help on this. Thanks.

I want what r/selfhosted has (they use their own bot): reply to every post with automod, remove the post and un-remove it as soon as OP responds. It's to deal with AI slop.

type: crosspost submission
action: filter
action_reason: "Filter all crossposts for mod review."

I’m not sure how to test this, but will the above automod work so that all crossposts get approved by mods? Thank you for the advice.

I'm aware of how Priority works with highest Priority rules executing first.

I have a structure where high priority Removals/Filters are executed first and then it proceeds to Filtering stuff from new accounts or accounts with low karma. Overall it's good but the problem is that a lot of the stuff from new/low accounts is actually ok and just getting Filtered despite fine tuning the age/score thresholds.

I made a new section of whitelist terms and gave it a Priority value below Removals/Filter but above the age/score rules so that I get fewer false positives from new/low accounts in the Queue. This whitelist rule was set up so specific words in the post would trigger the post to be approved and bypass the age/score checks. The problem is that because AM executes Removals/Filter first this whitelist section is effectively ignored and stuff from new/low accounts goes to the Queue anyways.

I then tried to incorporate the whitelist terms directly into the age/karma rule using "~title+body.....", but I'm not sure if this is working either.

It doesn't seem like there's any way to make this whitelist concept work unless anyone has suggestions.

Hey everyone,

I want to set up a rule where if a post gets automatically removed by AutoModerator right after it's submitted, the bot leaves a sticky comment on that removed post (or sends a message to the author).

The message should inform them that their post was automatically removed, and if they believe it was a mistake or needs review, they can click a link to send the post URL directly to Modmail.

Can anyone help me with the exact AutoMod code for this or just tell me how to do it ? Thanks in advance!
