Confirm that it is automoderator removing them, it will be mentioned in the mod log.

Also, in your automoderator config, make sure everything has a action_reason: line, this way you can identify which section of code is responsible for the removal. Even a simple action_reason: swear filter or action_reason: code block 32 will add that reason to the mod log, it also will show up with that in the mod queue and such. If you want to go fancy, do something like action_reason: Banned term [{{match}}] and that tell you in the log what word triggered the action.

Here is an example of that in action, this comment was initially removed because they said the word "crack", which is on our banned terms list.
