Like many others, we have an account age and karma limit that removes new posts that don't meet our limits. However I just got an alert that automod removed a post from more than a year ago. After researching, the poster would meet the requirements to be filtered, but we only added the limits 3 months ago. Why is automod going back in time and reviewing old posts?
So in one of my subs where the subject is ice cream, we don’t like AI accusations going live. Often people will use AI to calculate their nutritional information which would take them a ton of time and it’s frankly a good use of it as a tool.
On another fashion sub, I would rather my AI accusations get filtered so they immediately go to the queue, and I can ban it if I clearly see AI. Sometimes I get totally unjust AI accusations because the user blurred the background. I’d rather these false accusations, not go live and cause the post to be unnecessarily downvoted.
Anyway, here is the filter for anyone who would like to use it
```

I'm trying to figure out how something works that I've seen on another subreddit.
Whenever someone makes a post, AutoModerator automatically creates a comment containing the original poster's username, the post title, and the full body text.
If the original poster later deletes the post, the post itself remains on the subreddit with the author shown as [deleted], but the AutoModerator comment is still there with the original username, title, and body text. This effectively preserves the original content even after the post is deleted.
Is this something AutoModerator can do? If so, could someone share an example rule or explain how to set it up?
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

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.

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?
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?
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?
Recently, I noticed the full documentation link for automoderator in the sidebar on r/automoderator asks for my birthday. I'm in the UK and not age verified. (In app it instead says r/reddit.com is archived).
So, I tried other links in the r/automoderator wiki index, and the same happens for the introduction, writing basic rules, and the full documentation links there. https://www.reddit.com/mod/AutoModerator/wiki/index
These pages are the only ones not hosted on r/automoderator but on r/reddit.com.
It seems r/reddit.com has now been marked NSFW?
We asked via modsupport mod mail if there is anything that can be done so UK mods don't have to verify their age or use VPNs just to see automod documentation.
Or
If r/reddit.com cannot be reclassified, could the automod documentation pages there be hosted on and redirected to r/automoderator instead.
We also noted that there may be other pages on r/reddit.com that are worth saving as well, like the old reddiquette and moddiquette, moderator guidelines pages, and spam and self promotion pages, too. Mods tend to refer to these, even if just for historical purposes.
I was told that to comply with the online safety act, Reddit requires age confirmation to access restricted content :|
This won't just affect UK mods, but mods anywhere with these new online safety laws.
Automod documentation isn't unsafe and mods shouldn't need to verify to see it, to help keep their communities safe.
r/automoderator has back-up pages here that can serve as an immediate work around for affected mods https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoModerator/wiki/backup
Hopefully a long term fix can be found.
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.
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.
I have made subreddit rules need yaml code for automoderation to filter the posts and comments. Thankyou!
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.
