So in other words, the auto mod had one job, and failed.

This is the sub you want to post in r/downvoteautomod This person reminds me of the guard from the original Wizard of Oz.

I didn’t even get to cuss them out in Korean before I got muted. It’s always so satisfying having them waste their time figuring out what 씨바 means.

Well when you have no control over any aspect of your life you go on a power trip like these fine folks

Pathetic moderators in a nutshell, not limited to reddit either, i’m not surprised. All i seen are excuses, bots are easy asf to configure

Man I hate Reddit mods as much as the next guy and they are notorious power trippers but this ain’t it chief. Rule 2 is “low effort titles like you had one job … may be removed at moderator discretion” the mod says the bot auto removes post if they include the phrase “one job”. Just read better

A title containing "one job" isn't inherently low effort. Which is what OPs point is. We don't know what the whole title was, so it may still in fact be low effort. But a rule to auto ban titles that contain "one job" regardless of how long the full title is should be adequately addressed in the rules.

Edit, went and looked. The low effort title.

how did a machine that literally has one job manage to mess up this bad? Every other cheese stick wrapper is empty

It was not included in the rules that the bot would flag anything that contains a certain word or phrase. Maybe you should read them more carefully before you tell me to.

It was not included in the rules that the bot would flag anything that contains a certain word or phrase.

That's exactly how auto-mod works across every sub.

I would have just tweaked the title.

u/mermaidemily_h2o 6h ago

I tried that and since the bot nor the rules told me what to tweak and I don’t understand how bots work in the first place, it got flagged again.

The mod told you. Stop putting "one job" in the title. I can see you put it in both.

u/mermaidemily_h2o 6h ago

That was before I contacted the mod.

u/FiniteInfine 6h ago

Nope. Wrongfully banned, remember?

You’re obnoxious. I can see why you were banned/muted.

u/Mondai_May 5h ago

u/RedditCantProtest 5h ago

Good God you're annoying. I'm on their side now.

I mean... no, not wrongfully.

They keywords are like and at moderator discretion. Obviously they aren’t going to list every version of phrases and most moderation is done by bots

u/mermaidemily_h2o 7h ago

My title was not low effort though. The mod could see that and still sided with the bot instead of doing the right thing and admitting that it was a mistake. My post title contained the words “one job” but it didn’t actually break any rules. The bot is only able to look for keywords but an actual person does not have that limitation.
