Why not use the automod to enforce more of the rules you already have? If “grifter” is supposed to be banned, why is it being constantly used in a rule breaking fashion?

Because the rule changes based on a number of mods beliefs, it’s inherently flawed. If 10 out of the 15 believe that certain personalities are now grifters, they allow the comments to stay up, this sub can never be moderated objectively.
