Set priority higher than remove/spam/filter?
I have automoderator apply a flair to posts based on different criteria. There are also some rules that watch out for suspicious posts and then filter those so we can manually approve them. Whenever something gets filtered, the flair rules don't get executed.
It would be great if once the post was approved, the rest of the automod rules would run. I don't imagine this something that changes. A good fix would be if I could set the priority of my flair rules higher than my filter rules but it seems those are evaluated first no matter what.
I thought about setting the action to approve for all of the flair rules but then it would pull stuff out of spam put there by Reddit's own spam filters.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Not sure I understand the situation 100% but the only thing I can think of is to split the filtering rule into a rule that only acts if the post is already flaired, and to another rule that only reports relevant posts that aren't flaired
This won't revert a removal (since AM doesn't contradict another mod's actions, which includes itself)
Not to revert the removal, but just to make it's priority higher so that things get tagged before they are later filtered.
Yeah I don't think it's possible this way but you can split the removal rule/s to ones that also flair the posts accordingly along with the removal
Oh, I get what you're saying now. I'd do that but that would make the rules rather hard to maintain and I like to leave things in a manageable state in case I fall away.
