for `rule_action IN ('remove', 'spam', 'mark_spam', 'filter').`It highlights to the user general settings like karma and account age requirements, and whether the user has a verified email, without diving into specific details. It then suggest steps a redditor could take in order to meet the criteria to successfully post in a community.
Doesn't including `filter` make this misleading? Filtering implies it will go to the queue for review, but this new flow will make them think they can't post.
It'd make sense to have a separate flow like "you may have to wait for mods to review your content before it's published," or something.

u/lift_ticket83 What Major says is exactly my worry. We send users with low karma a nice message that their post/comment is held for manual approval because they are new to reddit and/or the subreddit.
We do that exactly because we have new users post for help and we don't want to send them out to go hunt karma before being able to get help but we also need to protect our subreddit from bad eggs.
If this change means I have to overhaul all my automod rules to try to combat this, I won't be a happy camper.
