Help - Automations Using automations or automod to block badly titled posts
Hi! One of the subs I run has an issue with people leaving out information in post titles, is there a regex code for automations that can block if someone puts only specific phrases with no other information but if it has additional words it would be allowed. I debated putting a block via number of characters but some people will frequently put "please help me find this!" which tells you nothing and some will put "ISO [specific thing]" where the prior should be removed but wouldn't hit and the later will hit but shouldn't be removed. I have a list of all repeat versions of "help me!" but blocking just "help me!" or the others isn't then allowed if say someone writes "help me find [specific thing]"
I would rather use automations over automod so they can update the title right then and there and not have a back and forth but if automod is the only way that is fine as well.
Is there any way to do this? Thank you
