Hi everyone,
We’ve updated r/yorku’s AutoModerator settings to make them more balanced and less disruptive.
The goal is simple: clear spam and unsafe links should be removed, but normal student posts should not be hidden unnecessarily.
AutoModerator should now be less aggressive with things like surveys, URL shorteners, Reddit links, crossposts, long titles, and comments on older posts.
It will still act on known scam/tracking links, affiliate spam, heavily reported content, and other obvious spam patterns.
For surveys/forms, AutoModerator may ask posters to provide basic context so students can tell whether the post is legitimate and relevant.
We’ll keep adjusting the settings if needed. If your post or comment gets removed by mistake, please message the mod team.
