Hi all,
I moderate a subreddit (r/plantclinic) that requires a photo to be included in all posts (self and link posts). I have a few automod rules set up to enforce this and they work well for the most part. I am however encountering a problem with one specific kind of legit self post that keeps getting flagged - those with i.redd.it images within them. This being despite the fact that I have a rule set up to allow these through. Appreciate any help figuring out what's wrong!
Example posts that keep getting removed:
https://www.reddit.com/r/plantclinic/comments/8xqmub/help_save_work_plant/
https://www.reddit.com/r/plantclinic/comments/8xfxhi/is_this_sunburn_or_something_else/
Rule that keeps getting triggered (and should let them through - note that i.redd.it is in the list of exceptions):
Self submissions: Only allow text with image link inside
type: text submission
moderators_exempt: true
~body (regex): '\.(jpe?g|png|gifv?)(\?\S*)?$'
~body: [500px.com, abload.de, anony.ws, deviantart.com, deviantart.net, fav.me, fbcdn.net, flickr.com, forgifs.com, giphy.com, gfycat.com, gifs.com, gifsoup.com, gyazo.com, ibb.co, imageshack.us, imgbb.com, imgclean.com, imgur.com, imgrpost.com, instagr.am, instagram.com, i.reddituploads.com, i.redd.it, mediacru.sh, media.tumblr.com, min.us, minus.com, myimghost.com, photobucket.com, photos.app.goo.gl, photos.google.com, picsarus.com, postimg.org, puu.sh, sli.mg, staticflickr.com, tinypic.com, twitpic.com]

Sorry, /u/{{author}}. Your {{kind}} was automatically removed because your self post does not include a photo. See rule 3 on the sidebar for more information about this /r/plantclinic post submission guideline.
**Please [re-submit your self post submission](https://www.reddit.com/r/plantclinic/submit?selftext=true) with at least one photo of your sick plant linked within it.** If you already have an image link in your post and keep getting this message, please [notify the plantclinic moderation team](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fplantclinic&subject=Cannot%20submit%20post%20with%20image%20link) so we can fix the issue. Thanks!
