It’s lazy. It has no place in quality communities. If you are a mod and feel so overwhelmed unable to keep up with the posts in your communities, then you need to please consider bringing on other quality mods and /or step down and let someone else do the job to help you.

Edit: as was pointed out, my post was overly negative toward mods. I apologize. I should’ve waited before posting this so I didn’t come across as inflammatory.
Wow the one unpopular opinion is down voted. Surprising.
I think auto mod is good but not currently needed. We have the full freedom to develop and moderate our communities however we please and I’m sure we will come up with many better solutions than auto mod.
