View submission: Low or no karma points setting

Here’s a copy/paste from another post, a step-by-step intro on setting up automoderator.  Usually, it’s not hard to do. (Can be fun actually.)

Use a desktop computer.

You will need 2 mod permissions (Manage Wiki and Manage Settings), a nonissue if you created the sub yourself (in which case you get full permissions automatically).  To check your permissions go to Mod Tools > User Management > Moderators list.

To locate automoderator, select Mod Tools.  If Automod is there, click on Automod and then Edit or “Create Page”. If you don’t see a “Create Page” button, **replace “yoursubredditname” in the link below with the name of your sub**:

https://www.reddit.com/r/yoursubredditname/wiki/config/automoderator

Once there (the “config” file), you will find a link to create automoderator.

Below is an example of code that removes all posts and comments from a user with low karma and sends a message to tell them why their post/comment was removed.  copy/paste this into your automod (including the 3 hyphens at the beginning and end):

Notice the indents.  Those are important.

You can change the minimum to whatever number you prefer.

Save.

Done.

As long as the user doesn’t delete their comment or post, you would find it in your Mod Queue with the reason shown as “new account”.  Keep in mind that some good content may get swept up by this filter along with the bad, so it’s important to check your Mod Queue for false positives on a frequent basis and approve the good content.

If you aren’t comfortable doing this, another  option is to ask someone here to assist you- giving them temporary Manage Wiki Pages mod permissions only.

I have tried everything in documentation that tells me how to set it up for karma points. Apparently it's either not like it says or I just don't understand sorry for my confusion. If someone could provide me with screenshots rather than words I am more a visual than a reader most everything else I can figure out.
