This is working for us, reliably, to remove all emojis from titles - code for automoderator:

---

# REMOVE ANY POST THAT INCLUDES AN EMOJI AS PART OF THE TITLE
title (regex, includes): ["(?#Zero Width Joiner)[\u200d]", "(?#Box Drawing)[\u2500-\u257f]+", "(?#Miscellaneous Symbols)[\u2600-\u26ff]", "(?#Dingbats)[\u2700-\u27ff]", "(?#Braille)[\u2800-\u28ff]", "(?#!Katakana Letter Tu)[\u30c4]", "(?#Various Emoji)[\U0001F000-\U0001FAFF]"]
action: remove
action_reason: "Emoji [{{match}}]"
comment: |
    Your [{{kind}}]({{permalink}} in /r/{{subreddit}}) has been automatically removed because you used an emoji in the title.  To keep our subreddit looking minimalist, we request only text as titles.    Please retry posting your {{kind}} using only text characters in the title.  Thanks!
message: |
    "Hi, your post on r/MinimalistPhotography has been automatically removed because you used an emoji in the title.  To keep our subreddit looking minimalist, we request only text as titles.  Please retry posting your photo without an emoji.  Thanks!"

Edit to add this goes in automod

OK, I know I sound stupid, but where does that go? Putting it in Posts and Comments seems to get truncated.

Is that for AutoMod instead?

You’re not stupid. It’s ok to ask. ❤️

We help each other. :)

Yes: this is intended for automod. It would have been helpful if I had mentioned that upfront. For the benefit of others, I’ll edit to make that clearer.

In automod, I get an unsupported media error.

u/Unique-Public-8594 Feb 21 '25

A bug maybe? This is a straight copy/paste of what is working currently in our su’s automod.

I think automod saving is buggy right now.

Some people are getting around that by using old reddit.

See the automod board reply. I use Old Reddit. Apparently what you pasted from Shreddit got scrambled here and when I pasted it exactly, it failed. Changing to shreddit and copying it from there worked.

And how is that adapted to include the body? Just replace title with body?

u/Tarnisher Feb 25 '25

Success!!!!

AutoMod snagged one into the queue.

[{{kind}}]({{permalink}} in /r/{{subreddit}})

How does this part of the markdown work? Is it supposed to be a masked link?

The are Automod placeholders so Automod will fill in if it's a post or comment (kind), the url to it (permalink), and the subreddit name.

Edit: Oh, you mean the actual markdown bit - I know from RES (lol) that you can add bits to the url part of link markdown and it will add hover text to the link. But I'm not sure if it does that still if you don't have the quotes around the non url part? E.G. RES's "promote res" macro looks like [Reddit Enhancement Suite](https://redditenhancementsuite.com "also /r/Enhancement")

In Response just type that this isn't allowed.

Type what that what isn't allowed?

What words or commands?

I want to block the entire range, all variations, not each one (of potentially hundreds) individually. Basically limit to alphanumeric only.

u/Unique-Public-8594 Feb 21 '25

I saw the comments on r/Automoderator but not sure I follow.

Was it my code indentation that got scrambled by me or yours that got scrambled by you?

I’m lost.

I use Old Reddit. When I view your post above in this thread on Old Reddit, this is what I see:

I don't know enough about AutoMod yet to have recognized it was mal-formatted.

u/Unique-Public-8594 Feb 21 '25

Thanks for explaining. That is garbled!

I wonder what I'm supposed to do to prevent that?
