Hello world,

Due to an error in a spam filter, Automod accidentally deleted all comments for a period of about 15 minutes. We are working hard to restore them. You might get a notification that your post was removed with the reason: "automod: suspicious activity", please ignore that notification.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for being on the Fediverse.

With regards, The LW admin team

The automod is a finicky golem composed of good luck and hope! It does a tough job.

My personal mod log is thousands of entries due to a automod wipe and restoration.

I think maybe some a manual intervention should be required if too many entities over too long a time or from too many users is indicated for removal
