New accounts still being able to comment

So I have the following in my automoderator code

---
# This will remove a post if the user has an account that is less than 7 days old.
priority: 1
type: any
author:
account_age: < 7 days
action: remove
action_reason: Your account is too new, your post has been removed.
set_flair:
text: "New Account detected."
overwrite_flair: true
comment: |

It seems that they are not able to post but can comment, does anything standout as wrong with the code?
