• Exclude Moderators: Exclude subreddit moderators from comment restrictions
• Removal Reason: Subreddit removal reason to use on actioned comments. Select 'None' to specify no removal reason.
• Sticky Comment: Text for the sticky comment on the post. Leave empty to disable. Defaults to the value defined in the installation settings.
• Expiration: Automatically disable comment restrictions after selected duration

Notifications: Modmail

A Modmail conversation is created when flaired user only mode is enabled on a post. Any changes to the configuration are reported as responses to the original message.
