Something I’ve been confused about is why the larger mod community doesn’t just take a more hands-off approach. There’s a report button, and there’s a downvote button. Shitty contributions will get downvoted and reported in time. Below is a basic AutoMod template I’m pretty sure I did not make, that removes a post or comment if an item gets enough reports.

Copy to https://www.reddit.com/r/[yoursubreddit]/about/wiki/config/automoderator/

basic AutoMod setting that removes comments/posts with more than 5 reports.

reports: 5

action: remove

#optional if large subreddit

modmail: The above {{kind}} by /u/{{author}} was removed because it received 5 reports. Please investigate and ensure that this action was correct.

comment: Sorry, the community decided that this does not belong here. Send a modmail if you disagree.
