I am configuring automod for a new subreddit (reddit.com/mod/[name]/wiki/config/automoderator). I have saved the code but Automoderator isn't working as intended. Unlike my other subreddits created long ago, the navigation bar to the left doesn't show a "config" page. It's blank. I have full permissions on the subreddit so I'm not sure what is happening.
i am trying to remove posts from users without user flair. is this correct?

Blahhhhh
I found this and am trying to turn it on but I am getting an error.
Anyone see what the issue is? "There was an error saving the Automoderator config: "Unsupported Media Type"

Hi there, Your post has been removed from r/{{subreddit}} because it contains a banned word: "{{match}}". Please review the rules and guidelines in the sidebar before posting again. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the moderators of r/{{subreddit}}. Thank you.
I tried it on old reddit and this is the error I got.

I moderate NSFW sub and it has come to my notice that despite adding some of the words like "Add me", "Swipe right" in the banned list some bots are still able to upload posts in my sub using the same caption and the automod is unable to remove those words automatically. If there is any mistake then do rectify it.
Here is the code:
# Remove all spam titles

Posts with low-effort titles are not allowed.

I have no connection to any Devvit app, but I started to have this feeling about more discussion of Devvit apps, after a mod meetup and also over on Discord.
It likely would be healthy for the subreddit and the growth of this subreddit to have deeper discussions about Devvit apps.
Obligatory links to large list of Devvit apps for moderation
I've been frustrated at the state of "landing pages" on the subreddits I mod.
Much of it has to do with the new user experience. 100% we all know that they don't really read the rules (nor do they do so on discord, for example). But asking them to hunt/etc is failure.
I tried all three of the ones I found
I ended up on Community Hub. I had a couple of questions that u/PlexversalHD answers (and I believe they're an admin)
Here's were my needs.
I wanted to get the weekly/monthly links, the wiki, the rules, the "read this first" on a bunch of subreddits. I setup the community guide to show this post.
Community Home and Community links both need a bunch of graphics created. I just wanted a text box/button and go. I mean, I loved the customization, but not the speed.
So for Community hub has been great. I want more buttons. But it's simple, text based, shows up on mobile (I wish you could force it to be visible on desktop.
I had to go back and change my pinned posting schedule to use the second pin not the first.
Last, I think tools like this, should be 100% open source. In todays vibe coding age, it's a lower bar to take something and add the customization that people want/need.
Sub gets multiple posts each day on the same topic/question and we've put together some really good resources around that, plus set up an automod comment with links to them.
Nobody ever reads them. The automod comment is concise and straight to the point.
Any tips on how to get people to actually pay attention to it? Is there a better to get this in front of people?
I made an automod to filter out new accounts from posting so we don't get bots. I also included negative subreddit karma so that those comments from people who have been aggressively downvoted will be deleted. But even with crowd control at maximum filtering, some of the comments with negative karma are making it into the mod queue instead of just being deleted.
Can someone review my automod and tell me what I did wrong?

Looking for help setting up auto mod comments like the ones in this sub which provide info about required post title and content length. Thanks in advance
guyss, im thinking of building an agent which sees if the content(text) that a user is going to post is dangerous(abusive, harming) it will not let it post it and even report to the management, what do you guys think?
I'm trying to have AM remove top level comments from users without a specific user flair, then send them a message explaining why. I thought it was working until someone with the specific flair received the removal message and AM removed their comment despite their account being appropriately flaired.
Can anyone tell me what the issue is with the code?

(The extra line space between each line is a copy/paste formatting issue when sharing it here, it's not in the actual code except between "message: |" and the start of the indented message text. Also, the "~flair" line is indented 2 spaces and the "Message is here" message area is indented appropriately as well, it just removed it when I made this post.)
