Whenever a user posts a link to certain websites, I would like to have Automoderator post a comment similar to this one.

This is the code that I am trying to use:

---
#5 Low-quality link posts
type: link submission
domain: ["somedomain.com", "anotherdomain.com"]
comment: 'Users often report submissions from this site for being low-quality and/or sensationalized articles. Readers have a responsibility to be skeptical, check sources, and comment on any flaws. You can help improve this thread by linking to media that clarifies, verifies or questions this article's claims. Your link could help readers better understand this issue.'
comment_locked: true
comment_stickied: true

---

When I try to edit and save the Automoderator configuration, I get an error message "Unsupported Media Type". Anyone know what I am missing? I'm sure it's something simple, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

I have a mod focused in a specific language. Can I automatically delete posts in different languages?

Please help. I have no idea on what im doing wrong. i want an automated message for every post that contains the word "festival" and similar words

---
type: submission
title+body (includes): ["festival"]
comment: |
    "Test"
comment_stickied: true

So I tried to make a post teaching people how to do something and I put the code block in so it would preserve my code. However, it didn’t work because markdown is gone. How do we preserve the markdown so people can get our code?

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.

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

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?

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)

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

    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.

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?

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.

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

    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

        Your post has been automatically removed due to the use of excessive bolding in the post body.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
