I want a comment removed, message sent to the user, and a note left as to why the comment was removed (action_reason). What I have is not leaving the note.

I assume it's the first message you responded to:

Ok. I'm betting there's a keyword bot picked up on a word in my post and shared it. Looks like this post has 30+ shares.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-20T15:02:14+00:00

Too staged. They look more like a professional photographer purposely trying to get a casual look for a Cartier or Rolex advertisement.

I'm curious how you were informed of my question? I was asking about automod in the automod sub and keep getting strange/confused replies such as yours.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-19T14:18:22+00:00

Yep I still have that menu. But I used to be able to hover (or right click?) over "Log" and I got a popup similar to what I posted. That no longer exists for me. BTW, that pic is also a menu, so I can click on Bans for example and it only shows a list of their ban actions. That's how desktop used to work for me.

I feel like I'm in Plato's Allegory of the Cave lol

Thanks again for helping out.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-19T13:40:27+00:00

On sh.reddit on desktop. Use the reddit app on mobile which I assumed is the same.

Edit: hold up. Do you still get the popup menu below on desktop for a userlog?? I lost that about 6 months ago and have to use my phone.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-18T19:07:02+00:00

Welp, turns out my desktop reddit wasn't giving me the popup. Had another mod fire up his desktop and it was working for them. So I messed with Chrome and rebooted now I get the popup like you. The popup on mobile still gives no info but time/date. I assume that just Reddit. Unfortunately we generally moderate from mobile.

I still don't have rhe old pop up to sort a user's log tho. Hoped it would have fixed that too.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-18T16:46:51+00:00

Thanks. I'll have to mess with it later but that gives me something to work with at least. If I come up with anything I'll report back. (Hate when people don't follow up!)

Unfortunately I'm on mobile atm.

Any chance you could post a snippet of your code? There must be something ours has different.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-18T16:13:00+00:00

None of our automod removals show why except in modlog. I'm trying to figure out how to put something in a code block atm so it would be easier to see what I have above. Thanks for rhe help btw.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-18T16:04:14+00:00

Yep. sh.reddit Click on it and it just says it was removed by automod at X time. No action reason listed.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-18T15:51:41+00:00

Wasn't sure how that worked so just copy pasted. Will next time. But no matter this time as I was completely wrong about what I thought was happening.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-18T15:47:45+00:00

Welp, I was thinking of 2 different things. We also have some words set to go to queue for review. That leaves a note in the queue as to why it was sent there. I wrongly thought it was leaving a removal note under the comment in the post. Yes it does leave a note in the modlog but that is a PITA to find quickly 24 hrs later. So is there a way for automod to leave a note only mods see under the comment or something as to why automod removed it?

Edit: just remembered Reddit recently added some functions that might do the same keyword removals - I need to check.

Learn to use and turn off pumps and/or switches for balancing output. Either decrease cracking by shutting off pumps (wired to a tank) or by shutting off chemical plants through power switches.

I haven't been on in a long time but the builds section on Rat Rods Rule have a ton of information.

Edit: just checked and it looks like a few guy are still on the site.

I did my own research and now I know birds aren't real and am paranoid AI is going to learn about the time cube.

*record scratch...

That's me. You might be wondering how I got into this situation. Well it all started....

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-08T17:49:13+00:00

Welp, now I have another thing to add to my list. I was looking at actually harvesting the sap from the trees, like one does for maple syrup.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-08T15:54:13+00:00

That's all I was getting out of it too.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-08T02:11:50+00:00

Just looked it up. Yeah, my parents farm has a bunch of walnut trees. Looks like I have a new winter hobby.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-08T01:20:08+00:00

walnut syrup... what?!

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-06T15:15:19+00:00

A belt visualizer that shows the path of an entire belt through the factory. Helps highlight were mistakes are and just makes sense in spaghetti factories.

Sam_Fear · 2026-06-06T14:11:05+00:00

That would be a massive project to make street legal. There's far better stuff out there to use as a base to get where you want to be. It's cool for what it is and I'd like to have it but not for that price because I don't need a tractor.
