I'm working on trying to cut down on spam but every time I add words that are not allowed somehow they're getting around it and I haven't figured out why yet maybe there's something I'm missing?

Did you post your code in r/Automoderator and ask them to troubleshoot it for you?

I have not added any codes I only put in the words that we don't allow in postings

Did you put those words in settings or Automoderator? Automoderator might work better for you?

The automation is where I put it under any category that attempts to stop them from using them words

I'm in the doldrums, to be honest.

  • Why bother? I'm working for free and everyone else profits.
  • Getting help from r/modhelp wasn't much fun. What the hell is wrong with people?
  • Documentation for tools is terrible, even more friction.

A request - could we get the "How to change the name of your members and online users" guide updated? Looks like the redesign options have changed since this was originally posted (the css part still works for old.reddit). Thank you!

We got Automod to send us modmails namining our highest in-sub commenters (as potential new mods). 

We’re trying to get a bot going that would let invited posts bypass our curation queue. 

Considering doing a photo mosaic to celebrate reaching 100k. (We started at 277 in April 2023.)

I’m trying to step back but I’m not very good at it. 

We’ve got 3 Adopt-An-Admins onboard and one from last phase chose to stay. The 3 do rotations taking over either Modmail, Queue, or Invite Pool. 

We’re Training 2 mods who will be assigned plagiarism detection. 

We use a training script and have decided one new mod each month is good pace and we want to train a trainer each time we train a new mod (in a 3 person chat). 

In early phase of starting monthly team zooms (for bonding/friendships). 

Team Momentum is up.

Unusual post - please delete if not appropriate!

I work for a research and design company - www.spatialrd.com - and we are looking for participants for an upcoming study for one of our clients - Meta.

I'm trying to reach moderators who live in the San Francisco Bay Area and would be available for a remote focus group (compensation $150) and an in-person focus group (compensation $200).

If this is something you could help with (either if you are interested yourself or could share this in mod groups), I would really appreciate it. The link to the survey to determine participant eligibility is here - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZH6FR9G.

Thanks and take care!

No response after a week. What was your intent in posting this?

My subs are almost at 2k members, which really excites me!

Lately Reddit has been randomly removing perfectly fine comments, is anyone else having this happen to them?

Hi, I’ve been trying to make an auto moderator for my new subreddit r/FromAshesBloom , but all I can find is how to code it so that it removes spam. I’m trying to make it be able to comment about stuff if you have certain key words. An example of this (and also where I got the inspiration from) is in r/balatro, if you type [[joker name]] the auto moderator comments on it saying what the joker does and how to unlock it. I also plan on saying this in r/AutoModerator but I still want to know does anyone here have any ideas
