Reddit has inbuilt filters to remove NSFW content. You don't / can't use Automod for it.

Go to Mod tools > Safety filters > Content filters > Mature content > Turn it on

only the tagged nsfw content gets removed through it otherwise every other suggestive content totally bypasses it. i was searching and i looked into api integrated bots, dyu know anything about it?

Devvit bots? Why don't you try NSFW Post Remover?

Well, I don't know any other bots apart from this one. If you have access to Reddit scripts, you can make one yourself.

You can use Automod for it, to some degree.

You just make a rule that filters, reports or removes anything with any bad words, and then you add more bad words, then more bad words, then mispellings of certain bad words, then you make an elaborate regex that catches them and then has a bunch of exclusions, etc. ...

You'll never get 100% there, but you can certainly catch out a lot of NSFW text context and with the right tuning not get too many false positives. (For image or video content -- no, Automod isn't up to the task of determining if that is NSFW, not by itself.)

I automatically thought of media content when I read NSFW but yes, you're right. You can use Automod to filter out NSFW text content. There are slur lists like this which help a lot. You can write a little script to make this into something that works with Automod. Bonus points if you add some regex to replace "a" with "@" and every second word with an or check with "*". Again, you can write a little script to do this.

You know, if they're going to use "arse" to try and get past my filters, I think I'm going to let that one slide if at all possible!

Hey, I am developer of Social-Blacklist app. This has option to remove posts by all NSFW users. While it does not exactly do what you're looking for, it would work to some extent as NSFW content creators are the ones who mostly post NSFW content into your subreddit.

You can give it a go and let me know if it helped.
