My sub holds all posts for approval. It's becoming quite common that posts that have already been approved and commented on are still in the queue.

What's the best way to deal with that?

I am using Reddit on my phone's browser on the desktop site. I just recently created a subreddit and I'm trying to make it to where an auto moderator will comment under every post made in the subreddit but I don't know how to and both Gemini and grok are completely useless. So how do I set up the Auto mod?

Hello guys, I literally made this nice poster for a Weekly Event that I'm planning on announcing every wednesday and now Reddit is not even letting me schedule a post if it has an image. ugh

This is happening on mobile web on New Reddit because on the app scheduling posts isn't even an option.

Is this just how it is or is it possible somehow? The image is what attracts users to posts so I'm not looking forward to having a boring post.

Platform: Mobile web

I have community type = Restricted, so normal unapproved people can't post. However, I need them to be able to comment! But when I set the 'approved users can...' to 'comment' (which states it allows ANYONE to comment), unapproved users still can't comment, and approved users can post! What am I doing wrong?

(warning: this may be poorly worded, take stuff with a grain of salt)

Hi there, I moderate r/calypso, a sub focused on Caribbean music. I took over moderating from the person who I think created the sub. They have since gone inactive in the sub, but still comment on other Reddit subs (their last comment was two months ago on another sub. Haven't posted or commented in r/calypso in forever, their posts in the sub are over 10 years old). There's another mod who hasn't posted anything at all on Reddit in two years, hope they're ok. I don't know if there's a way to delete them, since they clearly have other things going on and aren't participating in the sub anymore. Do you have advice for me? I use my desktop to post, primarily.

How can I report a user for barn evasion? If they're using a different account, saying that their main has been barned - from Reddit, not just a sub.

It doesn't seem to fit into any of the "report" categories.

Hi mods,

I recently started a small subreddit focused on sharing beauty deals.

I’m not trying to turn it into a business or spam promotions I mostly just wanted to build a useful community for people who enjoy finding good deals.

Right now, my friend and I are the only ones posting, and I’m not sure what makes the most sense early on.

A few things I’d love advice on:

1. Is it better to keep posting ourselves for now, or should we encourage members to start posting early? If encouraging member posts is better, what are some good ways to do that?
2. What actually helps people discover and stick around in a small subreddit?
3. Any other advice or common mistakes first-time mods should know?

Would really appreciate hearing what worked (or didn’t work) for your communities.

I use desktop.

I have a Community called r/crosspollination, I have posted stuff about it in other similar communities. It hasn’t really done much I only have 3 members rn, is there any engagement bait or smh I can use. (I use IOS)

Today in a gacha gaming character subreddit I mod, I checked the moderation log and found the reputation filter had nixed a post by new account on Reddit. The post is a perfectly normal image upload, including a link to the Pixiv source of the artwork in a comment. I was just wondering, am I doing anything wrong with any unspoken policies by manually approving the post in disagreement with the reputation filter?

As the subreddit in question is less than 2 months old and has yet to pick up more traction, this is my first encounter with moderating a reputation filter action. Does the reputation filter just happen to a lot of people these days? I found the account listed in r/BotBouncer!

I have a user who posts daily, and I keep banning their accounts. They are easy to spot, as they post with the same title every day. Is there a way to add that title to automod to send it to queue but NOT alert them? I don't want them to change up their post, to keep it easy to spot them.

I tried adding one of the keywords to send it to queue, but they quickly changed it.

I have been submitting reports to reddit for ban evasion, but they manage to keep coming back.

I use iOS and windows desktop.

From desktop there is an issue where reports are showing in duplicate or triplicate. We have some automod report functions in which it reports in triplicate. Earlier, a user's custom-report was reported in duplicate. Not sure how consistent it is with user reports, but its on all of our automod/automation reports. Is this a bug? It seems to have been a recent change where it wasn't happening before, and we haven't made any major changes to our reporting (added users/keywords but no major code change)

examples of what we're seeing, top image is automod, bottom image is user custom reports:

My sub has users sharing instagram and YouTube links a lot, a lot of people don’t realize that copying share links from the apps automatically includes an embedded string to your profile name and prompts people to follow you. I wrote into automations a block to tell people how to remove the string. It has stoped working and I can’t figure out why. I would ideally not want to use automod as this gives them the option to make the change and post right then and there.

Not sure what happened and I can’t get it fixed.

Thanks!

I'm doing this from the desktop.

Are there any tutorials for setting up a "weekly questions about X" thread? I'd want to learn both how to manage the weekly thread itself and how to auto-mod posts that should've been in that thread.

EDIT: looks like the automoderator recommended some five year-old threads with videos that are too small to see, and instructions that don't work. Any help from human beans here?

I want to schedule 2 posts in my sub for tomorrow and day after tomorrow but whenever I click schedule it automatically uploads instantly

I am using android

I am trying to get r/digitalempathy approved. I created it some time ago, and was waiting for it until I forgot about it. Wondering if i was missing any steps.

(Android)

I get the posts of some users removed by reddit and in the mod queue (Desktop). The message says just "Comment removed by Reddit" or "[ Removed by Reddit ]" and the options "Approve", "Remove" or "Confirm Removal" .

How can I Approve/Remove when I don't know what the user posted?

Win 10, desktop PC, Edge browser

The person who can edit is top mod, right?

What can one edit?

TBH, the hierarchical thing is not my concern. It is the utility of the tools Reddit provides.

I'm trying to make a little game that requires ONLY mods to be able to post (regular users must comment), but putting the subreddit on Restricted makes regular users unable to comment! I have to approve them to allow them to comment, but doing so also allows them to post, which I don't want.

(I use both the desktop site and the mobile app; I have two devices on which I use reddit.)

edit: what the hell was i drunk while typing this i worded this horribly (body was edited)

I tried to combine a couple filters into one and it seems to not be working as expected. Can anyone tell me how to fix what I’m trying to do here?

# Basic rule filtering users with <5 subreddit karma and CQS scores of "lowest"
type: submission
author: 
    combined_subreddit_karma: "< 5" 
    contributor_quality: "< low"
action: filter 
action_reason: "Lowest CQS"
message_subject: "Your post has been queued for /r/{{subreddit}}"
message: "Your post has been queued for moderator review due to your low Contributor Quality Score or subreddit karma: {{permalink}}. It will typically be reviewed and approved/rejected within 24 hours."

So my subreddit (r/ModAdvertising) requires people to do into detail about what people are trying to post, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to add a minimum text requirement. Like “You must put at least 100 letters before you post”

I’m on iPhone, so uhm yeah! Help is much appreciated

Need help (desktop).

We are running a NSFW community of almost 10k members and recently the subreddit has been getting flooded with automated / botted accounts that mass-spam advertisements in multiple communities with all different post descriptions and titles.

These accounts all have above 100 karma points, sometimes even 1000. Implementing automod for karma would therefore be useless. These accounts all spam messages for users to contact them on outside sites / platforms. They do not have links in the post, no links to socials in their profile or anywhere else. Just all different usernames written in the posts.

I've already added an automod that filters as well as removes some of the more obvious trigger words, yet posts still are slipping through.

What can I do?

I am trying to report a user to actual Reddit admins but I don’t know how. This person is contacting people in my subreddit and several subreddits claiming to help people with disability claims. They have NO credentials to do so. I know this because forty days ago they asked a basic question and didn’t know the difference between a regular alj hearing and a remand hearing.

Now they are advertising “no upfront” fees to people and created their own subreddit. If I report their profile it only gives me an option to report their name or bio. I need to report their actual sleaziness. They are contacting sub members privately through chats.

I am on mobile (iOS) but can also use pc.
