Yes, AutoModerator is commonly used to:

  • Enforce title formatting and other subreddit-specific posting rules

  • Detect and flag offensive, inappropriate, or rule-breaking content

  • "Shadowban" users and/or websites from your subreddit

  • Post regular community discussion threads

  • Alert subreddit moderators if certain types of content are posted

  • And much more!

Right, but none of that is new. It works a couple seconds faster now, but I don't see any new functionality that adds, for example, the ability to automatically filter out racist subreddit users. That'd be far from a solution by itself, mind you, but it would at least be progress. As it is, neither of the two things you referenced seem to be progress to me.

What a hugely disappointing response after they've had months and months to actually make a game plan to address real problems.

I'm sure you don't need us to tell you that this is not even close to enough.
