View submission: Crowd Control and Other Safety Updates
Crowd control has been a useful tool for mitigating brigading. Are there any thoughts on allowing automoderator to filter comments using the same criteria that Crowd Control does? Being able to just automatically remove comments from users with negative karma in the sub or unsubscribed users would be nice during times when we have a high influx of bad-faith actors.
edit: /u/enthusiastic-potato? Sorry to be a pest, but I think specific community subreddits like those for cities/locations are important sources of preventing bad-faith actors from riling people up as they have direct political impacts. Our traffic stats during high-profile political events are way higher than normal, and we dont really have the tools to keep things in check. I'm sure subs for Atlanta/Georgia, DC and Seattle all had similar problems this past year. A way to filter users, or even just to flair new accounts/new subscriptions to alert regular users who they are interacting with would go a long way in keeping discussion local and relevant.

Being able to filter or report comments from people with low subreddit karma, not just global karma, would be really useful. As users new to a subreddit would be the ones least likely to know the subreddit rules, then being able to keep an eye on them until they earn some reputation would be useful.

Hey - sorry for the late reply! We’re glad to hear Crowd Control has helped out, and thanks for bringing this up. Integration with Automod is something we have been working on. We don’t have much to share on its status now, but we plan to have updates for it in the near future!

You can do that with Automoderator!
type: any
author:
combined_karma: ‘< 50’
action: remove
action_reason: Low Karma
I don’t think it can be subreddit specific though.

I need this. If I could filter all new users in the sub I could practically eliminate hate attacks.
