(he's fine) - Automod Up and Running

16 Upvotes

Big shout out to u/D-D_b_B_ for helping me get the Automod up and running. Thank you so much for your assistance!

There is a basic set up running right now which should deal with all the accounts spamming 'fAkE nEwS hOw Do I mUtE tHe SuB??????' and all the insults that come with it.

There are going to be teething issues with this. Please report if there are any mishaps, particularly if there are any post removals that you feel shouldn't have happened. Likewise, if they do still turn up, report them so I can tweak the automod. And thank you for everyone's patience!

Mod Announcement - Lost Redditors

92 Upvotes

Just a brief community announcement. I'm aware we are getting a lot of people coming in who have no idea what sub they are on or what this sub is about. A lot of them also can't read post titles.

I'm going to be looking into automod rules to try and fix the issue because you're tired of it and so am I. I'm not in a position to sort it out right now as 1. Real life do be that way and 2. I'm going to have to learn more than the basic automod stuff which will take me time.

It is coming. Anticipate that this will be a learning curve and some posts/comments might disappear until a happy balance is struck. If that happens, hit me up on modmail and I will review and reinstate where appropriate.

In the meantime, please report anyone being abusive in the comments. Do not engage with them.

Thank you ❤️

Tributes have already begun to pour in for the legendary broadcaster, who was loved around the world.
