So I have the following in my automoderator code
`---`
`# This will remove a post if the user has an account that is less than 7 days old.`
`priority: 1`
`type: any`
`author:`
`account_age: < 7 days`
`action: remove`
`action_reason: Your account is too new, your post has been removed.`
`set_flair:`
`text: "New Account detected."`
`overwrite_flair: true`
`comment: |`
`Hello /u/{{author}}`
`Your {{kind}} has been removed from /r/{{subreddit}} because your account is too new.`
`This is to combat SPAM and BOTs.`
`** Your {{kind}} is currently being looked at by the Moderation Team and will either be APPROVED or DENIED. **`
`comment_locked: true`
`comment_stickied: true`
`message_subject: Your account is too new, your post has been removed.`
`message: |`
`Hello /u/{{author}}`
`Your {{kind}} has been removed from /r/{{subreddit}} because your account is too new.`
`This is to combat SPAM and BOTs.`
`** Your {{kind}} is currently being looked at by the Moderation Team and will either be APPROVED or DENIED. **`
It seems that they are not able to post but can comment, does anything standout as wrong with the code?

When you say that they’re able to comment, do you mean that their comments are *not* removed by automoderator and those comments are visible for everyone to see?
If so, then I’m wondering if the `set_flair` parameter is interfering with the `type: any` parameter. Try bifurcating the rule into post removals and comment removals. Do not include any post-specific parameters in the comment rule.
