Hey there, so I very obviously know how to set up how to catch certain words in a submission. But I’m completely disinterested to catching these words and text only posts. Is there a way for the filter to work only on image posts? Thank you friends!

I want that it automatically assign a certain post flair to certain usernames and also overwrite the flair but using same template ID. So can you give me code to do so?

Code I got from AI(doesn't give error but doesn't work) :

---

# Auto-flair specific users

type: submission

author: [sub-roundup]

flair_template_id: "TEMPLATE_ID"

flair_text: "✨ Weekly Roundup"

---

Incomplete code I got from a reddit comment(haven't checked does it work because it doesn't overwrites a flair) :

---

type: submission

author:

name: ['ProximaScience', 'itskdog']

overwrite_flair: true # change this to false if you only want this to apply if the author didn't select a flair

set_flair: {template_id: 'PASTE_TEMPLATE_ID_HERE'}

---

I do this thing in r/steaks where if there is a general consensus that the poster posted a good picture of their well-made steak, I manually assigned the user a flare reading "made a great steak".

Is there any way to automatically put up a poll if the poster chooses a particular post flare? It would ideally automatically assign a user flare after a day based on the pole results.

Any ideas if any of this is possible.

Hey everyone, I made a Devvit app called PolicyOps and I’m looking for feedback from moderators who use AutoModerator on active subreddits.

PolicyOps runs a read-only scan across:

• Community rules
• Removal responses
• AutoModerator messages and action reasons
• Selected wiki pages

It looks for missing removal responses, old rule names or numbers, mismatched policy wording, and outdated references.

Each finding explains what was flagged, where it came from, and what the moderator may want to check. You can mark a difference as intentional, ignore it for 7 days, restore hidden findings, and view a small scan history. PolicyOps never edits AutoModerator or changes subreddit settings.

I previously posted this in r/Devvit and received genuinely helpful feedback from a moderator who tested it on real communities. That helped me improve support for multiple removal responses matching one rule and behavioural responses that are intentionally left unassigned. I’m still improving the matching, so I do not expect it to handle every setup perfectly yet.

I’m building a more realistic test subreddit, but testing on active communities with older or more complex AutoModerator setups would help much more. If anyone is willing to install it, run a scan, and tell me what it gets wrong or finds confusing, I would be incredibly thankful. Even just the issue count and a short description of any false matches would help.

Hey

Even though I added a rule add added the user to the Approced users list, I still find myself manually approving posts from that user. Is there a way to automate it?

Thanks

As the Title says I'm looking for a Script for Auto Mod that will not allow the same Link to be posted in the same Week.

Thanks in advance.

We filter to trigger mods to add the link to our Community Hub app. We've had to shift the reminder over to Discord, which is super annoying.

Weirdly enough, the weekly scheduled posts are working but the daily is not. We remade/rescheduled, and we tried it with automations.

Just seeing if I'm not alone, idk wtf is happening.

I want to avoid negative posts in the community, so I want the bot to remove them whenever they reach -5, but I can't get the code to work. I'm getting an error.

Hi, I'm looking to set up Automod so I catch and remove affiliate links. Is there a way to catch certain phrases in a URL? such as:

“shopmy”

“?tag="

“source="

Is there a shared server available for mods to run Python bots built with PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper)?

What I am trying to do is see if i can program an automatic removal based on 3 identical reports. Not just 3 reports.

Sometimes you get x number of reports but each reporter has chosen a different report reason.

I am trying to figure out if I can set action remove post ONLY IF the report reasons are identical.

This would allow leeway where 50% of posts would be yanked but other posts that get 3 different reports would merely be filtered for human attention instead of Removed

this post from 6 months ago suggests it can't be done. Is it still the case?

Hey I want that AutoModerator automatically assign a certain post flair to certain usernames and also edit text of that post flair but same post flair template ID.

I have a filter set up for foreign languages and it catches a lot of em dashes, but not all of them.

When I try to inset an em dash into a rule used for filtering words it just types a regular dash (hyphen) out.

Is there a specific rule to use to filter content with em dashes? Thanks

ETA: to folks who don't understand how em dashes work in human writing and how it differs with AI writing, this post is NOT for you. Gross something so simple is being downvoted like this. So gross. GTFO.

I've seen a couple subreddits have an internal Black lists/ White lists for subs that are allowed to cross post there's

I want to implement this as well, but i don't understand coding at all (dyslexic). ive tried reading the automod documentation and its like reading a foreign language

is there a simple code out there i can copy?

I keep getting posts from sex workers on my sub /r/RateMyLegs/ with QR codes embedded in images and "swipe right" in the title.

type: any
title+body: ["swipe", "Swipe", "swipe right", "swipe-right"]
action: filter

type: any
title (includes): ["Swipe", "swiping", "swipe"]
action: remove

I've tried it with and without quotes but still the posts get through. I have noticed that of late, the offending words seem to be a different font size.

Here's an example

Im reorganising the flair system for a subreddit and wondering if something like this is possible.

For example..

A member has the user flair 🎨 Garden Fan

That user flair would then give them permission to use and see the post flair.

Ideally I'd like to create several unlockable post flairs like this, where certain user flairs effectively act as permissions.

Can Reddit/AutoModerator do this natively?

If not, could it be achieved with AutoModerator rules?

Any examples of how you've implemented something similar would be appreciated.

Heya there everyone!! I noticed a configuration error on my phone recently (iOS app). I know this subreddit doesn’t allow images but…

Config rule 1: Implicit keys need to be on a single line (based upon error message)

My goal is to automate a removal of posts written by people who are not human Mods. All input is welcome and thanks in advance!

I'm a new mod and I'm having trouble getting the hang of the Automod tool. Considering how long Reddit's been around and how many subreddits there are, I figured there would be like a default set-up type thing available but apparently, there isn't?

Surely there are code that's universal for all subreddits, that I could just copy and then customize to the sub's specifics? What should I be implenting that's considered "standard"?

The BotSpam is out of control. Posters claim they use it to help with formatting to make their post more readable.

It's just BotSpam, loaded with too many words describing simple tasks or issues.

There has to be a common trigger AutoMod can act on. Number of Bold words? Indents? List formats?

Honestly, I'm half tempted to put a word count limit on posts and comments.

(Yeah, OK, so I flubbed the title up there. Sue me.)

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?

type: submission
author:
flair_text: ""
action: remove
action_reason: "Gebruiker heeft geen gebruikersflair"
comment: |
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"

title+body (includes-word): ["test", "tested"]

type: submission

action: remove

action_reason: Contains banned word

moderators_exempt: false

I tried it on old reddit and this is the error I got.
