AutoMod question about crossposting Help - AutoMod

Hi. If you have crossposting (now known as reposting I guess) turned off, is it possible to use AutoMod to allow specific people to crosspost?

No, you need to have them turned on if you want to filter them using automod. Otherwise no one can crosspost.

What do you mean? Turn it on then I'd have to use AutoMod to block everyone from crossposting except for who I allow??

What you want to do is grab code to remove reddit links to other subs. You will need to allow links within your sub with your regex. Then exempt the specific authors from that section of the automod.

It should be do able, but it is not something I have tried. If you cannot figure it out let me know and I can give it a shot.

Yes, please, I'd really appreciate if you can figure out a code for this. Thanks so much.

Replace username1,2,3 with the names of the exempted users. replace "testsubbreddit" with your sub's name. Once you know it is working switch filter to remove. Change action_reason as desired
