As this community grows automod will be more and more important. We've already seen some OC creators stop posting because of rude comments. This along with it's general usefulness has pushed us to implement an automod solution.
We have implemented basedcount's lemmy-automoderator
as you'll see later in the wiki, the automod has to be manually set as a moderator of your community
Message me and I'll login and comment on a post in your community.
Edit: I've added automod to just about every community I could find. If your community doesn't have automod, or you make a new one, please message me and I'll add automod to your mod team
Once the comment is made, appoint automod as mod, and Read the wiki to learn how to add rules to your community.
Did you give it the full name with the @lemmynsfw.com ?
edit: you shouldn't have to do that
the automod can be finnicky with empty white space though
this is an example of a rule that should work:
{
"rule": "comment",
"community": "gonewild",
"match": "pizza",
"type": "exact",
"whitelist_exempt": false,
"mod_exempt": false,
"message": "Your comment has been removed because I don't like pizza",
"removal_reason": "Said the word 'pizza'"
}
Thanks for clarifying. I have a few follow-up questions:
How to make a rule that requires a certain phrase in the title? For instance the below rule excludes anyone who puts a gender tag in the title, but I want a rule that only allows posts which have a bracketed gender tag.
{
"rule": "post",
"community": "gonewild",
"field": "title",
"type": "regex",
"match": "[.*]",
"whitelist_exempt": false,
"mod_exempt": true,
"message": "Your post has been removed because you have not included a tag such as [F], [M], or other tag in brackets your post title.",
"removal_reason": "No gender tag in title."
}
Secondly, how to remove a rule once it is in place?
Currently I think the automod has rules for finding things included in the title, but I'm not sure if it has logic for looking for things NOT included in a title. I'm working currently, but I'll do some googling later and see if this can be achieved with regex, but this may be something that's not possible yet unfortunately
