Automoderator is not a human.

Did you know that Automoderator is a bot running a .json script?

No? This post is for you.
Automoderator does not care about context, there is no way of doing so without using AI or manual human review.

Why say this now?

I've noticed an insanely (yes, really.) amount of people actively attempting to TALK to Automoderator.
Automoderator is not a human, Automoderator also does not tell us you've tried talking to it.
If your submission has been removed because of Automoderator, please review AND THINK as to what could have possibly caused the automatic removal BEFORE coming into modmail and start screaming and kicking because your post got removed.
(Please, I beg.)
Automoderator ALWAYS gives you a hint to what it could have been.

Automoderators purpose is to catch the vast majority of rulebreaks automatically.
No, just because he did, does not mean that you are now more likely to get banned.

Simply repost what you were trying to say with less.... whatever you tried to say, usually its slurs; it's typically a good idea to leave those out if you want to sound more serious and believable.

If you need to use slurs to get your point across, consider not posting at all.

Yes, this also goes for submissions that point out someone else using a slur, Automoderator does not care about context.

"BUT THIS SUBREDDITS NAME IS R/FUCKNINTENDO!!! THERE IS LITERALLY A CUSSWORD IN IT?!"

Try reading past the headline, noone buys a book, reads the title and says he read the book.
Besides, the word "Fuck" is not even on Automods list of filtered words.

"But I ONLY used slurs to point out someone else using slurs!"

Automoderator does not care.
Also, Report the offending content before taking matters into your own hands and participating in a senseless argument.
You cannot lose a fight if you do not participate in the fight to begin with.

"Just code better then, fucking moderators!"
We rather have 15 "unintentional" removals than 3000+ Submissions in need of manual review.
If you know anything about programming/scripting then you would know that it's near impossible to cover every single human possibility through sheer line of code, especially by something as simple as a .json.

Yes, Automoderator is able to make blatant mistakes here and there, especially when it was still in its early shoes. Cussing at the actual moderators over an error just ain't it though.
(Who starts a conversation like that? I just sat down.)
Please talk to us like you would want to be talked to. We do not get paid for moderating.

Again, use the report function. Please.
