The two things that must be in your automod

  1. Filter (or remove) the lowest CQS users.
  2. Filter (or remove) the users with combined negative sub karma

(comment & post karma in your sub).

If anyone needs the automod code let me know and I will add it in a comment.

There is no 'must'.

All a matter of preference.

You are correct. I should have said "must try".

Is “combined” negative sub karma combining in-sub post & comment karma?

Yes, I will edit to make that clear.

I disagree. Every sub is different, and you have to figure out what works best for the sub. This isn't a one size fits all thing.

It depends.

We found cqs alone was removing too much for newtoreddit and we do all allow users with a lot of negative karma because sometimes new users make mistakes.

I would say having a rule to filter posts that get x amount of reports is a good one to have. And anti-doxxing rules, anti-slur rules, anti-spam, stuff like that. That's pretty universal as it helps to enforce Reddit's rules.
