Automoderator was really introduced to reduce loads on moderators. As such, how strict the filters were was mainly down to them.
The reason many moderators used it was to reduce spam from brand new accounts/sock puppets and to enforce community-defined posting rules. On the sub I co-ran, you only needed +5 comment karma in order to be allowed to post.
