To ensure the quality and relevance of the content in your subreddit, setting up AutoMod rules is essential. These rules help manage the posts and comments automatically, reducing spam and off-topic content, thereby maintaining a focused and engaging community environment.
You can find ‘Automod’ in the moderation area of the Mod Tools section:
Here’s how I personally configure AutoMod to keep my subreddit clean and aligned with its purpose:
Here’s how you can configure it yourself:
Key AutoMod Configurations
- Approving Contributions from Trusted Users:
Contributors who are marked as trusted (is_contributor) have their submissions automatically approved, ensuring that their content does not get caught in broader filters designed to catch spam.
author:
is_contributor: true
action: approve
- Restricting New Accounts:
To prevent spam from newly created accounts, submissions from users whose account age is less than three days are automatically removed. This helps deter spam accounts that are frequently created to disrupt communities.
author:
account_age: < 3 day
action: remove
comment: Sorry, your submission has been automatically removed. Your account is too new to post here.
- Managing Links in Comments:
Comments containing links are automatically removed unless posted by the submitter of the thread. This prevents spam and unsolicited promotions within top-level comments.
type: comment
is_top_level: true
body (includes): ["http://", "https://"]
author:
is_submitter: false
action: remove
comment: Your comment has been removed because it contains a link and you are not the author of the post.
- Regulating Link Sharing by Post Authors:
Even when the submitter of a post shares a link in a comment, it must include a reference like “Source:” to be allowed. This ensures that any links provided are properly cited and relevant to the discussion.
type: comment
is_top_level: true
body (includes): ["http://", "https://"]
author:
is_submitter: true
~body (includes, regex): ['\bsource\b']
action: remove
comment: |
Your comment has been removed because it contains a link but does not include the word "Source:" Please include the word "Source:" in your comment when sharing links on your post.
- Filtering Out Solicitation and Advertising:
Any submission containing specific keywords related to selling or soliciting, such as ‘OnlyFans’, ‘PornHub’, or ‘Sexting’, is automatically removed to keep the subreddit focused on its intended content and free from commercial distractions.
type: submission
title (includes, regex): ['OnlyFans', 'Fansly', 'PornHub', 'Find', 'Selling', 'Sexting', 'Chat', 'Chats', 'Calls', 'Taking', 'Contact', 'Subscribe', 'Premium', 'Snap', 'Nudes', 'Text', 'Adult', 'Site', 'Escort', 'Service']
action: remove
comment: |
Your post has been removed because it contains words or phrases commonly associated with soliciting or selling content which is not allowed in this subreddit.
