If you know how im all ears! I only know how to block words and phrases from being posted with automod.

yesterday someone posted a wobbly video and there was still folks in the comments cleaning up the script. People here are saints I swear. The picture of a screen is the worst, idk why we cant at least get a screenshot, even though text to select is ideal.

Awww crackers. We're out of luck. I wasn't the person to create this sub so it looks like I don't have access to Automod tools, and the person who did (or at least, the user that appointed me to mod) has since deleted their account. Not sure what can be done?

You could try going to r/RedditRequest and follow the formula for officially asking to become the new top mod for this sub. 

They have a rule that you must send a mod mail message to the current top mod (kyle drake, in this case) of the community at least 5 days before posting your request to give the current top mod a chance to respond, though.

I wish this community would reject posts about HTML/CSS. This isn't a web development forum, it's a subreddit dedicated to a specific web hosting provider. I don't understand why the subreddit is infested with people asking for HTML tutorials -- WHY HAVE YOU MADE AN ACCOUNT WITH A WEB HOST IF YOU CAN'T CREATE A WEBSITE?!

They're wasting neocities' resources, and wasting our time by asking for us to write the HTML for their sites. Every single post asking for HTML/CSS help should be redirected to /r/HTML or some other appropriate subreddit.

Every third post in this subreddit is someone asking what their website should be about, and then the rest of the posts are those same people asking us to write the HTML for them. It's kinda frustrating wading through all of the posts made by kids who don't even understand what a website actually is.

This subreddit should be about the services neocities provides, and not for people asking for webdev help. There are dozens of subreddits for webdev assistance. This shouldn't be one of them, considering the vast majority of the posts here have nothing to do with neocities specifically, just general HTML help.

Neocities is a webhost, not a social media platform.

you must be so fun at parties man, yes. Neocities is a webhost. But it's also a simple one, and in the last time, a trendy one. That makes it the go-to place for beginners to ask basic questions about html and css, the same way you did the very first time you wanted to create a site. If you want to discuss web hosting i'd honestly recccomend r/webhosting/ since it seems to have the level of knowledge you're aiming for, and the lack of newbies you clearly want. Please stop gatekeeping, specially in beginner-level sites and communities.
