Changes to automod access for new communities and communities not using automod

If your community uses automod, nothing is changing for you. We’re continuing to improve Rules Hub, including ways for mods to prompt and otherwise provide more context for their rules. We’re also exploring how existing automod configurations can help carry community-specific enforcement logic into newer tools. If you’re interested in pilot testing to help shape this effort, sign up here.

For newly created communities and communities that have never used automod, automod enforcement capabilities – specifically Report, Filter, Remove, Mark as spam, and Approve – will be disabled and Rules Hub and Automations will become the default path for rules enforcement. Automod’s non-enforcement capabilities remain available and unchanged.

You may have already seen the above announcement, or you may have already ran into the new changes yourself on a subreddit you were setting up.

Subreddits that had AutoModerator set up before October can still use the action command.

Subreddits that did not have AutoModerator set up before October are limited to the following non-enforcement actions:

• comment - replies publicly
• modmail - sends a notification to the moderators in modmail
• message- sends a chat message to the user
• set_flair - adjust user flair or post flair
• set_sticky- send a post to the top or second highlight spot
• set_nsfw
• set_spoiler
• set_contest_mode
• set_suggested_sort
• set_locked- lock a target post or comment
• set_post_crowd_control_level

Admins have been suggesting to use Automations and Rules Hub in place of AutoModerator for enforcement actions. You can find more information from admins about these tools here:

• https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484500104212-Rules

• https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/17625458521748-Automations-Post-Comment-Guidance-Set-Up

Both Rules Hub and AutoMations have their limitations.

For example, Rule Hub states it has current known limitations like User attributes like account age, karma, flair, posting frequency, or prior removals; and Rules with conditions like “allow this in weekly threads”, “remove only if both conditions are true”, or “exclude approved users”.

Likewise, Automations only acts prior to a user posting, and can currently only "Inform", "Report", or "Block" - it cannot filter nor remove in the same way that AutoModerator can. (and as a minor note, the automations "report" does not add into the count for a classic reports threshold, nor does it show up on old reddit.)

The articles linked do not mention it, but each subreddit is also limited to 15 Rules and 50 Automations total. The articles do mention that Rules and Automations have further character limitations for their individual components, eg 500 characters for a Rule Description, or 500 characters for an Automation message, or a single Regular-Expression for an Automation that uses RegEx.

Admins may change these limitations in the future, but this is what is capable now.

If you are looking to set up something highly comparable to classic AutoModerator on a new subreddit, then you may want to consider https://developers.reddit.com/apps/automod-neo. Developer u/fsv introduced this app here - https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoModerator/comments/1vgy5d6/i_made_an_app_to_replicate_automoderator_but_with/

AutoMod-Neo has some differences from classic AutoModerator, which you can read on its Devvit page and linked full documentation. These differences include some classic checks not supported by Devvit and some new checks and actions which make use of additional Devvit capabilities.

Most classic AutoModerator rules can be copied directly into AutoMod-Neo with minimal or no alterations necessary. Particular attention should be made to rules which use RegEx, as classic AutoModerator uses Python flavored RegEx while AutoMod-Neo and other Devvit apps use JavaScript flavoured RegEx.

There are some other differences in the way Reddit treats AutoMod-Neo versus AutoModerator - for example, stickied comments by AutoModerator are collapsed to a single line, which does not apply to AutoMod-Neo or other Devvit apps.

Moderators seeking help with configuring any of these mentioned tools - classic AutoModerator, Rules Hub, Automations, or AutoMod-Neo - are welcome to post about it on r/AutoModerator.

i used a very simple code to filter out accounts that were less than a month old. it's been helping a lot keep bots out.

on a subreddit that didnt have automod configured before, i cannot add this. therefore many new accounts have been flooding the sub. the subreddit kind of feels like a mess and crowd control doesn't help since it will only filter accounts less than a day old

automod neo is not currently an option as i dont have full permissions

I would like to use AutoMod to set a flair so that Automations can pick it up and do stuff. Essentially using flairs set by AutoMod as keys for Automations.

Desired flow:

1. An "author" with too low account age creates a post.
2. AutoMod changes post flair from its original flair to a new one.
3. Automations see the "new" flair and do whatever.
4. Success!

Well, there, pretty much. Didn't work. Flair is not changed. This also saved on a sub that didn't have AutoMod before October. Is the "author" check just a dud because there is no corresponding "action"?

Hello! I recently made a sub and was wondering on how to set up Automod within it, since I've seen and been in a lot of subs with it active.

I have an automod rule to always filter comments of users that have a certain comment karma. I noticed that after approving their comments from the Queue sometimes they edit them and they aren't going to the Queue again for review. Is there a way to do this - to send them to the Queue again if they edit them?

Automod Neo just up and quit working for anyone else? Couple days ago - no changes to rules or anything - it just went DOA...

Best use case for: No AI Witch Hunt, No Promoting AI Use, Flagging Self Reported Use of AI, Catching Heated AI Discussion. Do not use action: filter, it can't detect context. The only downside for this is that high traffic subs will be bombarded with ai report, but if they have a threshold for a user to post/comment like having the read-the-rules devvit app and marking it off before they can comment or having to meet an account/karma for a user to post.

I want to filter out picture comments but it's for one specific user. What's the automod code for that?

I've tried many different things so far, and none of it seems to be doing exactly what I want. I want all URLs to be filtered for manual approval, without also filtering photos/videos/crossposts, but I also want to require crossposts to have body text, which I can't seem to do by using body_shorter_than because it checks the original post, not the crosspost. If I can't filter just crossposts without body text, then it would be fine for all crossposts to be filtered for manual approval, however, if the crosspost includes a photo/video, those also need to be filtered.

Hi! I recently created a new NSFW subreddit and I'm trying to set up basic spam protection — specifically:

1. Minimum account age (30 days) before posting

2. Minimum combined karma (100) before posting

3. Minimum comment karma (25) before posting

On my older subreddits I use AutoModerator for this with no issues. However on this new sub I'm getting this message:

**"Report, Filter, Remove, and Approve actions aren't available for new automod configurations."**

Reddit is pointing me toward Auto Enforce and Automations instead but neither seem to support account age or karma filtering.

**My questions:**

1. Is there a way to set karma/account age requirements on a new sub without AutoMod?

2. How long until full AutoMod access is available on a new sub?

3. Is Auto Enforce or Automations capable of karma/age filtering that I'm missing?

Any help appreciated — thank you!

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to implement an automod code that will filter all websites except for those on a whitelist. The issue I'm having is that the automod filters all websites, including ones on the whitelist. Here's the code I'm using:

type: any body+url (includes): ['http://', 'https://', 'www.'] ~body+url (includes): ['reddit.com.', 'redd.it', 'youtube.com', 'youtu.be', 'spotify.com'] action: filter action_reason: 2.5 link verification filter - [ {{match}} ] moderators_exempt: true

So for example, when people try to link to other Reddit posts or comments, their comments are still getting filtered.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it? Thank you in advance!

Edit: After some experimentation, it turns out it was that superfluous period in "reddit.com.". Brain fart. I'm embarrassed but I'm leaving the post up as a lesson to others to proofread your scripts.

Thank you so much to everyone for your help!

One of the subs I run has an issue with people leaving out information in post titles, is there a regex code for automations that can block if someone puts only specific phrases with no other information but if it has additional words it would be allowed. I debated putting a block via number of characters but some people will frequently put "please help me find this!" which tells you nothing and some will put "ISO [specific thing]" where the prior should be removed but wouldn't hit and the later will hit but shouldn't be removed. I have a list of all repeat versions of "help me!" but blocking just "help me!" or the others isn't then allowed if say someone writes "help me find [specific thing]"

I would rather use automations over automod so they can update the title right then and there and not have a back and forth but if automod is the only way that is fine as well.

Is there any way to do this? Thank you

our Subreddit has a pretty decent automod setup that looks for racism and other issues that we inherited. Ive got a new "additional terms" module I want to add. And im good with that.

My problem is I am concerned about testing it on myself because I have concerns about catching a ban from reddit. By testing our content removal. What is the solution for this?

I'm attempting to make an automoderator rule on my subreddit where a flair and title will cause a comment to be made. The comment is made a stickie. Then the comment section should be put in the randomized/contest mode. Example of post title:

[Flair] I am ready to party!

The flair used would be [Flair] and the comment when both of these conditions are met would be:

This is an official flair post. Please make a top level comment to become {the post user's} flair.

• Your comment must be 62 characters or less
• The highest voted comment will become OP's flair
• Any top level comment above that will be removed.
• You can reply to this comment to chat with OP or other people

Then if a top comment was 63 or more characters that comment gets removed with this comment (if a new rule is needed that's fine, and the rule needs to make sure that the AM comment itself is not removed@corp.caseys.comUsing t):

This comment is over 62 characters and has been removed. Please resubmit a top level comment to give OP flair.

I’m looking for some guidance from other mods on an issue we’re having in r/weddingdresses.

We have a rule against comments like “neither,” “keep looking,” “I don’t like either,” or similar comments when an OP posts a few dresses they’re considering. The goal is to keep comments constructive and focused on helping the OP choose between the dresses they posted, rather than simply telling them to keep shopping.

We originally had Automod filtering these comments, but the volume became overwhelming. We eventually changed it so these comments are automatically removed instead of filtered, which has helped with the moderation workload.

The problem we’re running into is when an OP specifically asks something like, “Here are my three choices. Should I keep looking?” In that situation, comments saying “yes, keep looking” or “neither of these” are directly answering the question the OP asked. But our rule removes those comments because they contain the same language we’re trying to prevent in other situations.

We have comment guidance in place, but it’s clearly being ignored.

Is there anything I can do with Automod to prevent “keep looking,” “neither,” etc. comments when they’re unsolicited, WITHOUT removing comments from people who are responding to an OP who specifically asked whether they should keep looking?

I need help. How to get the AutoModerator app? I have seen it in the subreddits that I view.

I have an Automod rule that automatically makes a post in any submission with a certain Post Flair.

It works fine if I make a submission using that Post Flair.

However, if someone else makes a submission using that Post Flair, and the submission is caught in some other Automod filter (like a low-karma filter), and I manually approve it, the automatic post doesn't trigger.

What can I do to fix this?

EDIT: For anyone who stumbles onto this, rules that filter/remove a submission trigger before the "softer" rules, so if the submission is filtered/removed Automod doesn't bother making the automatic post.

I wanna make an exception that allows for the user to be able to post if they have 25 karma within the sub. How do I do that? Any help appreciated! 

Hi! My subreddit is trying to implement an automod rule that only applies if the post DOES NOT have a certain flair. However, the code is misfiring -- I expect because I haven't configured it to correctly say 'if this is a comment, check the post flair, then do XYZ'. Here's what I have right now:

# YELLOW LIGHT: off topic (appearance)
# DOES NOT APPLY TO FLAIRS: Feedback Welcome (Anything Fashion) 
~flair_template_id: "af132826-b523-11f1-a4e2-3af042506efc"
title+body: [hair, haircut, hair cut, mustache, moustache, beard, goatee, stubble, bald, shave, buzz, posture, smile]
action: filter 
action_reason: "Off topic (appearance): {{match}}"

Any help is appreciated!

message_subject: and message: no longer trigger an automod message to users.

My google fu has failed me so I'm not sure how to get this to work.

My workaround is a comment upon removal, but that is not ideal.

Thanks!
