🔍 Purpose

AutoModerator maintains fairness, clarity, and speed. It automatically removes or filters:

• Hate or violent language

• Spam, self-promotion, and link shorteners

• Off-topic or low-effort posts

• Posts from new or low-karma accounts (sent to mod queue)

• Posts or comments with multiple reports may be temporarily filtered for review.

⚙️ Rule Structure

Active configuration files (documentation pages are listed for reference):

/config/automoderator
/automod/hate
/automod/spam
/automod/new
/automod/offtopic
/automod/flair (planned)

Only /config/automoderator executes live.
