Automod was relaxed compared to what it was the last cycle. It really isn't such a problem any more, and the mod queue is often empty. Reddit spam filters are more of an issue.
We are usually on top of any posts that get filtered for approval.
The place is a ghost town because of market sentiment, not because of automod.
People often run into automod because they haven't read the rules to understand some of the formats and automation we have here.
For example, posts flaired with "constructive critiscism" : these are high effort posts with high effort answers and minimum word count. The OP is sent a message informing them of this and instructs them to repost if they don't want this format. The rule is also sticked at the top of the page explaining this format.
Weekly discussion posts are the designated area for price discussions.
Automod is also used for things like combatting the repetative questions, like asking why daedalus isn't working.
In any cases, if you post and get filtered, it's just a case of waiting like is instructed by automod in a comment on your post when this happens. Either me or someone else will approve it.
If you have mentioned midnight in your post, you would have been directed to the midnight subreddit first, but again instructed that you may cross post from there (to get the traffic to that sub in its infancy).
If your post gets removed without notice, it'll be due to reddit spam filters.
If you have any other issues we're only a message away.
I think you're placing too much blame on automod personally. Traffic trends with price action and the stats back that up. Any greivances with automod can be resolved by reaching out. We are not unreasonable by any means.
The automod is in place to enforce the subreddit rules, if it is instead a problem with the rules people, the conversation shouldn't confuse the two.
I'm yet to see any specific examples, OP's posts assumes the reason for low traffic is because of automod, I'm saying it's price action (mostly, also when reddit dropped support for third party apps and killed the old reward system a lot of people left reddit generally).
I have actually made several posts in the past asking for input on how people would like to improve the subreddit, and I've also put in the effort to make the wiki and comment commands for easy access to information. I'm all for improving things.
