Hey everyone!
I often see new mods struggling with automating their subs, so I've decided to create a guide for getting started with AutoMod.
Step 1: Accessing AutoMod - First thing, you need to be a mod. Check sidebar, and click on Mod Tools. - Find the Automod Configuration under Rules and Regulations.
Step 2: Writing Rules - Start with simple syntax for common tasks, like removing posts with certain words: type: submission title+body (includes): ['bannedword1', 'bannedword2'] action: remove action_reason: 'Use of banned words'
Step 3: Testing and Refining - Always test your rules. You can use test posts to ensure AutoMod behaves as expected. - Tweak as necessary based on what your sub needs.
Remember, the more complex your AutoMod rules, the more maintenance it might need. Starting simple and gradual build-up is key. Feel free to ask questions or share your AutoMod success stories!

Nice guide for the newbies! Another tip: consider using moderators_exempt: false so your rules apply to mods as well during testing. Can prevent a lot of headaches with rule conflicts. And remember, you can use regex for more complex word filters!
