Hit 10,000 mod actions yesterday and it totally changed my mind about automated tools
I always thought AutoMod was lazy modding until I saw that number and realized my team was drowning in the same 3 types of spam comments every day, so now I'm finally setting up keyword filters after a 5 year stubborn streak - anyone else have a milestone that made you rethink your whole approach?

Hit 10,000 mod actions and my first thought was "wow, maybe I don't have to babysit this place like a toddler." AutoMod is basically a robot janitor. Not glamorous but stops the bathroom from flooding with crypto scam posts. Finally gave in last week and set up a filter for "FREE IPHONE" posts. Wish I'd done it years ago honestly.

It's wild how that same mindset applies to so much stuff irl. Like I just automated my grocery list to reorder the same staples every week and it saved me so much mental energy. @davidh88 you're so right that setting things up once is way better than fighting the same battle over and over again.
