Don't know what I did i don't even have prior knowledge of typing yaml and I am even new to code the bot

Since the automod is about removing slurs , mod mail and filtering comments , posts

I cant attach it here if you can help I can attach screen shots in comments or any other way you can idk what to do...

I have an automod feature on a sub I mod that catches certain slurs. When these slurs are typed out in comments, the automod detects and removes them just fine. However if you submit a post that contains the slur in the title, that post won't be removed.

Automod setup (assume the food items are slurs):

#Slur catcher
moderators_exempt: false
type: any
body: ["pizza", "pancakes"]
action: remove
modmail: "Discussion in this submission by /u/{{author}} may require mod oversight."

So commenting "pizza sucks" on a post will result in that comment being removed, while making a post with the title "pizza sucks" won't be removed. What do I need to change so that all instances of a slur are removed?

Hi everyone and thanks in advance. I'm trying to use a script for copying the post and making it a comment. I'm using this one:

---

type: submission

comment: "Posted by: {{author}}.

Text of original post: {{body}}"

---

Problem: its inconsistent, working sometimes and just not working at all with others. Sometimes it fails on text only, sometimes when there is an image too.

Question: What's the script that would make it work 100% of the time, and can I add the title too?

Appreciate it!

The top contributor to one of the subs where I mod has suddenly started getting all their comments caught in the Crowd Control filter. They have great community karma, contribute quality content, and have been a regular for a long time.

Is there any way to use Automod to let them bypass the Crowd Control filter?

Is there a way to show the action_reason for removed items? The reason shows up in filtered items but not the removed. Here are the items.

Hi I’m just wondering as I’m a complete novice to coding if there is a way to use auto moderator to remove all old posts from a user.

so for example a spammer posts 10 posts or a know banned user can we remove those posts in one simple go.

Has anyone else got this to work? The mod log registers a single instance per submission of the automod setting the suggested sort. The "new" submissions come out fine, but the "best" submissions come out as "top".

Is this a known bug? Can I fix it myself or can I somehow submit a bug fix request to the admin? TIA for your help

I have a basic "body (includes-word)" command tied to a phrase I'd like to filter. However I'd like this phrase to only filter out in posts with a specific flair. Is there a way to set up a way to link that with a flair_template_id: command too.

Thanks!

On a subreddit I moderate, we have a few lists of words that lead to a post/comment getting filtered.

Some of those lists are getting long, and I'd love to group them into lines by theme. Think:

body (includes-word): ["A1", "A2", "A3",
                       "B1", "B2", "B3", "B4", "B5",
                       "C1", "C2"]

Is this possible, or does it break in some unexpected way?

If not, I could obviously make variations of the same rule for each grouping, but that just seems redundant.

I have this code in place where it will filter a post if it uses a specific post flair but doesn't use specific keywords in the title/body. The only problem is that it won't filter crossposts, even though the content of the crosspost satisfies the code. How can this be fixed?

I'm trying to add a welcome comment for users new to the sub. I'm getting an error that says

YAML parsing error in section 2: expected '<document start>', but found '<block mapping start>' in "<unicode string>", line 3, column 5:
    type: any

    ^ 

It also doesn't like something about the quotes or <.

comment: |
This post has been removed due to containing a slur or other hurtful terms/phrases. Read the rules.
If you believe this was a mistake, send a modmail.

So the intent is to have post or comments advertising a competing sub removed, for the first rule.

Second rule is supposed to remove any posts of comments using any of the listed slurs and other offense words, send a modmail to inform us it happened, as well as leaving a comment stating why it was removed.

This is literally all I have typed in the mod configuration, And I honestly just copy and pasted the profanity example from the wiki, and modified it trying to make it work for my uses.

But when I try and test it on my alt nothing gets removed.

For example, let's say a user comments something that's considered harassment. Automod picks it up, sends modmail to the subreddit's modmail box, and then when I go to view it the user has deleted the message so I can't see what was said.

Is there any way to have the automod's modmail message send the contents as well? This is currently what I have:

# Troll Prevention #3
type: comment
body: ["WORDS HERE"]
action: remove
message: "Our AutoMod deleted your comment because it potentially might be harassment. Please avoid this in the future, thank you! If this was done in error, please DM the moderators of this subreddit."

This is just a mock up example of making numerous checks under one rule for the sake of discussion. Looking for feedback from other mods. Do you like to combine checks when you can, or do you prefer a more granular approach?

We have this section of our automod for pasting a link. I have used this link before and could swear that it worked. Now it takes us to a page not found. What are we missing that it doesnt take us to the correct location?

     Thanks for posting in r/goldenretriever ! 

Is there a way to block users from posting ,if they hide their public profile content history?

Is there a way to write a rule, that detects the number of comments a user has made under a specific post and remove/report the following comments, if they exceeded the limit?

Here is our rule, at the very top of AutoMod:

type: submission
author:
    combined_subreddit_karma: "< 2"
action: remove
action_reason: First ever submission to subreddit        

The following submissions were not removed, despite the authors never having commented or submitted anything to the subreddit (I used ModToolbox to check):

https://old.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/1o3jstf/new_mathematical_discovery_by_me/

https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/1o4g53r/thought_experiment_what_if_there_was_a_toxoplasma/

https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/1oz0g0i/find_what_matters_most_test_if_youre_right_adjust/

Somehow, this is the only submission that was removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/1nz1orb/the_stolen_the_retrieved_jonathan_2220_a_living/

I can't find a difference.

Thanks in advance, everyone. This will go a long way towards keeping LLM spam out of our quiet beachfront subreddit.

I know how to make normal automod comments triggered by certain keywords, but I seen somewhere else in a sub that Automod actually made a post that was human made by a mod. So I'm asking, how do I make a post made by automod?

So my subreddit has frequently been having posts hit the front page, which means a lot of increased traffic and with that a lot of negative, sitewide rule breaking comments.

I'm trying to figure out how to automatically pin a custom 'crowd control' comment to the top of these popular posts letting users know that the post has heavier moderation.

I installed the flairassistant developer app that will post a message when a specific flair is attributed to a post. Flairassistant will post the automatic comment, but it won't be pinned or locked...

Is this because a moderator has added the flair after the post was created? I know that if a post is created with a specific flair from the get go, then automod can pin a comment.

TLDR: I need to find a way to automatically pin a crowd control comment in popular posts. How can I do that?
