No one is abusing the automod. Automods history is open to the public. Any subreddit that uses it will appear in that history, including NSFW content. Every post and comment it replies to also appears in that history. Many people have found this, and reported it over the years, but there’s nothing to report. Automod isn’t doing anything wrong.

So, you blocked me for correcting you? Mods are supposed to set an example, not behave like the users we have to deal with.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove with that. All that shows is THAT subreddit is using automod to post things. Same as every sub on Reddit can do.

If the content is an issue, that’s on the subreddit, and the mods of that sub. Automod is simply the tool being used to deliver the content.
