Reddit: Automod as an important tool for admins

The Automoderator, usually called Automod, is an important tool on Reddit. Our guide explains what tasks the Automod can perform and why it's so important.

Practical helper: the Automod keeps order in the subreddit.

With growing user numbers, Reddit's tools are all the more practical. The Automod plays a central role in this.

Reddit: This is the Automod

The Automod is a bot that sub-admins can set in many ways.

• So the Automod can automatically react to certain terms as soon as they occur in a comment.
• Also in terms of modmail, the Automod can help, for example when a certain number of reports is exceeded.
• On details such as the title format, the Automod can also react and help with corrections.
• External links whose content violates the terms of use can be removed directly by the Automod.

The Automod is thus a very powerful tool to ensure order and enforce rules. This is even more important the larger the subreddit is, because the human moderators there can not possibly keep track of everything themselves.
