Moderation
Only moderators may set AutoMod rules and only for communities where they are a mod themselves.
Example:
Bob is a mod in c/memes. Bob is allowed to enable the AutoMod and set its rules in c/memes.
However Bob is NOT a moderator in c/general, so he won't be able to set any rules in that community.
Before any AutoMod configuration rule can be submitted, the bot needs to be a moderator in the target community. As a pre-release measure, it will be necessary to manually comment on the target community from the AutoMod's account and manually appoint it as a moderator. This process will be automated in further releases.
Interaction happens through Lemmy DMs, accessible through the "Send Message" button (not "Send Secure Message"!) on the bot's profile.
Configurations should be set up in the form of JSON objects. The content of the object will be discussed in the syntax paragraph.
Once an object containing one or more rules has been written, it should be pasted in the message box without any further formatting. The bot will then process it and reply to the message with either an error message or a confirmation. Error messages will be discussed in the error handling paragraph.
