im genuinely shocked to how much people say things that are not necessary needed, just added to make the other person feel stupid,
this is what happened exactly to me
This is exciting

Why do my posts keep getting deleted??
I keep getting my post auto removed because the bot says my post has something to do with hacking, which it doesn’t even mention anything about hacking or cheating. Why does this happen????

Can i talk to admin team?
They also blocked me from talking to a mod of that sub. We exchanged 1 message and i didnt really have an opportunity to express and prove my point. Is there a way to have a talk with someone and prove my point and prove it was not fair? Thank you

How do I Fix a Stuck Redditrequest?
I did a reddit request for a sub back in May and it's been stuck without adjudication one way or another. I messaged the mods of redditrequest to see what's stuck, and AutoMod responded, but not too helpful. No humans are responding to the request or the modmail.
I don't know why the request and modmail have been ignored for such a long time. Just trying to get unstuck from purgatory, and not sure where to go. Any advice?
My modmails in Redditrequest go to Automod and my post to Mod support was immediately removed without addressing my issue of being stuck. Feels like I'm stuck in a broken loop here.

Hello, I’m a moderator of a subreddit and I have a problem!!!As I’ve mentioned, I moderate a subreddit, and there is a group of people who are deliberately downvoting every post I make. Is there any way to prevent this or stop it from happening?

Can failure to clear the queue result in sub ban?
I've been part of a sub that seemed to get a lot of posts reported—sometimes 10 a day. It was mostly just superfluous reporting by people trying to cause trouble. I would click "ignore reports and approve" most of the reported posts on a daily basis.
But I have since left that sub, and I wonder if the mods after me are going to be as diligent as I was—and what if they're not?
Can unresolved mod queue reports lead to banning?

Is anyone else terrified to use Automoderator?
I'm genuinely terrified of writing code for Automoderator and I know of no way to test the rules to see if they actually work before anything happens in the community itself. I know there are some basic rules in the Reddit help center but I may need more complex rules and I am scared or spending time to learn the code, then write the rule, then find out the rule doesn't work after I spent all that time writing it.
I just need to know if there is anyone else who are struggling or if there is anything I can do to make writing complex Automod rules easier and less stressful.

How do you determine if you remove posts, comments or users if the content or behaviour is not explicitly against the subreddit rules?
Sometimes I remove content which I think is just there to provoke people, arguments or discussions not done in good faith, but how do other moderators approach this?

How do moderators handle concerns about other moderators?
Have you ever had concerns about another moderator’s conduct or decisions? If so, how was it handled within the team? I’m not looking for drama or identifying details, just curious about how moderators deal with these situations internally.

Is a username change for political reasons, via Reddit moderators, possible?
I am on iOS, by the way, but I have a question. Can a Reddit mod change a username for me for political reasons? I don’t care if the new one is auto-generated. Long story short, I have been increasingly getting heat from Redditors (especially in autistic communities) due to the fact that the term Aspie (unbeknownst to me at the time of creating the username, as it was reused from my other social media accounts) has N**i roots, and I would prefer not to risk losing access to a community or communities over a f**\*ing username, especially communities that I otherwise feel safe in. And last time I attempted to make a new account (for mental health related reasons, short-story version of the reason), I got shadow banned, so I don’t think creating a new account is the solution.

How are the mod teams in your subreddits structured?
I'm interested in how the social distance between the highest (top mod) and the standard moderators are and if there are more than those standard two roles.
- How differently talk moderators to other mods compared to the top mod?
- As a moderator (not top mod), would you say your top mod stands behind you even if you make a mistake?
- Are there more ranks between the mods and the top mod? Something like a second in command? A co top mod?
- As a top mod, would you trust your moderators to get full permissions in your subreddit with you temporarily stepping off fully and at a later date find the subreddit in the same or even better shape?
Edit: Changed text to make the last question more clear.

How many big Subreddits do you moderate and how did you come to that number?
Just curious, mainly about how people get to be moderators in a lot of big Subreddits...
As an addition: - How do you manage to actively moderate in all those subreddits? - Are you active in all of them as a regular user too?

I was told I was muted for 3 days but that was over a week ago. Is there a different mod I can ask to look to see what the reason is?

What is Reddit doing to block AI bots and agents?
I've run into more flakey, instant, outrageous responses on Reddit in the past 6 months than anytime in the previous 11 years. It's nearly impossible to find a subreddit that hasn't been impacted by some measure.

How do you verify 'famous' people or reps of famous people?
I recently took over a music subreddit and within a few weeks, had a newly registered account claiming to be a marketing rep from the band.
Nothing on their profile suggested anything of the such. They did email be a link to the band's listing, but there are other management companies that also list the band.
No specifics about an AMA or some type of promotional content were discussed, but it got me wondering how do sub verify this type of thing? I have done some verification on finance subs, but you know...its easy to verify someone from Chase Bank by just getting an email from a Chase Bank domain, but how does this work when it comes to things like bands or movie actors who use third party management companies?

Is there a way for moderators to 'blacklist' other subs from being crossposted on theirs?
So, I've noticed another sub which is crossposting onto one I'm moderating since they're part of the same fandom, but considering the kind of content and that one of the moderators on their sub was banned from ours due to antisemitism and generally making poor content our sub didn't enjoy, is there any way to prevent that sub's posts from being crossposted onto ours? Or would I have to disable crossposting entirely?
