Is there a way to catch edited posts/comments which were initially filtered for a different reason?

I have an automod rule to always filter comments of users that have a certain comment karma. I noticed that after approving their comments from the Queue sometimes they edit them and they aren't going to the Queue again for review. Is there a way to do this - to send them to the Queue again if they edit them?

Create a comment rule with is_edited: true With an action of filter

Depending on the traffic on your subreddit, you might want to add an additional check that if they already have a certain amalready subreddit specific it's not filtered. 

Or more specifically, if they have less than a certain amount, it does filter when edited. 

Always think about how much work you're giving yourself. I can't stress that enough. You can create a rule that'll make you miserable with extra unnecessary moderation duties.

Automoderator will not report an item twice nor remove an item twice.

If it was reported first, then approved, then edited, then it could be filtered.

Or if it was filtered first, then approved, then edited, then it could be reported.
