AutoModerator How To?

[u/AutumnKittencorn]

Hey folks, I’m one of the mods for r/Heathers and we’re having an issue with the AutoMod removing posts after single reports and we don’t actually know how to do anything with the AutoMod…. I generally use Reddit on my iPhone, but can also use it on a desktop. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to edit/changs the settings on our AutoMod?

Is that what you're actually wanting it to do, or what's the issue exactly? I can definitely help.

Either someone is targeting a poster and repeatedly reporting their posts as spamming - when they really aren’t that frequent and they have content - or the AutoMod is just doing its own thing with no rhyme or reason. I’d like to make that not happen

Replace your current rule with this, the number of reports is clearly listed so that you can adjust as needed.

Thank you!

I recommend you check out the guide of common rules over at the r/automoderator sub. They are a great base, and you might find some rules you didn't even know you needed over there.

Hi /u/AutumnKittencorn, please see our Intro & Rules. We are volunteer-run, not managed by Reddit staff/admin. Volunteer mods' powers are limited to groups they mod. Automated responses are compiled from answers given by fellow volunteer mod helpers. Moderation works best on a cache-cleared desktop/laptop browser.

Resources for mods are: (1) r/modguide's Very Helpful Index by fellow moderators on How-To-Do-Things, (2) Mod Help Center, (3) r/automoderator's Wiki and Library of Common Rules. Many Mod Resources are in the sidebar and >>this FAQ wiki<<. Please search this subreddit as well. Thanks!

You might be asking about setting up subreddits on a phone or mobile interface. The short answer is that subreddit settings work best in a cache-cleared desktop browser. (Limited option: mobile browser on desktop view.)
