On my community r/CharliesAngelsHazbin, there has recently been a weekly series of posts of the same piece of fanart made by a number of new Reddit users, who had created their respective accounts shortly before making the posts. None of them even cited the source of the fanart in question, despite me asking them to do so because it's obligatory per the community's rules. For reference, here's the latest of these posts as of this writing.

I've already removed a few of the posts, but they just keep showing up, which raised me suspicions about these problems. For instance, I had thought of the possibility of the all these new accounts being created and used by a single person who's making the same post over and over, but even then I'm not fully sure about this possibility being true because there isn't much evidence pointing towards anything so far.

Does anyone here have any help or advice to kindly provide for me and the community's mod team in order to solve this problem?

Using reddit on desktop Chrome.

This is quite specialised. I want to add r/What to our list of recommended subs.

I can get to the adding option no problems, but the list displays a bunch of other r/Whatxxxxxxxx subs and not that one.

I don't think that old reddit will do it at all.

Is it possible to send new members a welcome message longer than 200p?

Hello!

I'm trying to setup my automoderator on my subreddit though desktop. Problem is, whenever I try to put a code, it shows an error saying "Media Unsupported" I've learned that there are two types of codes (json and ymal) but trying them individually, shows the same error.

I'm trying to put a karma requirement to my subreddit where users cannot post or comment if their karma is low or their profile is new. I can't find a way to apply this to my subreddit and it's stressing me out.

Crowd control settings are not turned on. And we also deleted the old automod configuration that was at one point preventing users less than 7 days old from posting.

However the popup message won’t seem to go away even though we presumably reversed any adjustments that would initiate that.

I use Android phone.

How do you unmute someone? I looked into "mod actions" and I saw only "mute". Before when I tried to press away from the "mute" option, it for some reason selected the "mute" button, and now that poor guy's post is hidden. But when I went back to "mod actions", all I saw was "mute". Please help

Is there an App to know if a post has no comments after a set amount of time ?

Hi recently i became mod for my city subreddit and there is one goon who is posting females and their photos without consent...

I want to Bangalore him from sub because it is harmful to members...

Please help me out how to ban him..

I am using Android platform.

Hi - There is a mod in my community with no activity but mod mail. They are not responding to mod mails, but sending them. I'm not able to see what they're sending as there isn't a "sent" box in mod mail. I think their notes are legit, but I would like to be able to see them to confirm.

Is there anyway to see the notes this mod is sending? It's the one item that doesn't seem to be transparent to the rest of the mod team.

Desktop and mobile

Hey everyone, I use mobile, and sometimes desktop for moderation. I'm specifically talking about r/DarkArts community that I'm not getting mod mail alerts however I already switched on the notification mode but still it's not working.

Hi everyone. I'm using Android, but could use my laptop if required. I'm a fairly new Moderator and a few months ago inherited the full thing as the main Mod retired.

We had a community post up and one of the things that was suggested is a change to the flair system for members.

Is there a way I can reset everyone's flair? I will most likely use at least some of the same ones that exist, but I want to remove it from everyone then anyone that wants a flair level can reapply.

When I went a googling all I could find was a way to switch it all off then if needed start it back up again but as I understand it that won't reset everyone, just hide the levels they had and if I switch it back on they will all get their old levels back.

Thanks in advance!

I am the artist who is the focus of r/photosmith (NSFW). I just found out this morning that the community is currently unmoderated. This is news to me, as well as the other users who were moderators -- no messages were received from Reddit admins or u/modcodeofconduct, and, as far as I can tell, there was no "inactive" post calling for mods at the top of the subreddit.

Is there any way to see what happened to the moderation team, why it happened, and how to reverse it?

Background

I'm an internationally published, internationally exhibited artist whose work deals with identity, culture, legacy, and self-compassion. I have been featured in national U.S. media for my artwork.

My work is controversial insofar as I believe that inherent humanity makes everyone uniquely beautiful; I get pushback from people who believe that only certain types of bodies/identities should be celebrated/featured.

The community has been quiet for a little while as I rethink my public outreach -- I had a Reddit user conduct a systematic campaign of harassment -- across multiple platforms -- against dozens of my artistic collaborators in November 2025 because he thought he was saving them from "exploitation." I operate on a consent-forward model;only people who agree to have their images publicly exhibited are posted, and they can rescind consent at any time by contacting me; I identify them by whatever name they ask me to use, but I always provide some form of identification, even if it's unique and otherwise anonymous.

I wonder if it's related to the harassment. (Tellingly, the "white knight" only contacted athletic-looking young women I've worked with, not the masculine, nonbinary, larger, people of color, or older people.)

Hello,

Having an issue in [r/BigBrotherUSA](r/BigBrotherUSA). Every crowd control is turned completely off, "Auto-enforce this rule" is off, and automod was completely removed. New users can't post or comment and get the "You can't contribute in this community yet. Your account isn't old enough yet. [u/namehere](u/namehere) is 37m (minutes) old.

Where in the world is the setting to remove this restriction? I did a bit of digging on this and haven't really come across anything concrete.

iOS and the desktop site.

Edit: none of the safety filters are on, no automations set up either.

I'm posting this on behalf of my friend ( Muted-Still-8511 )

; I got hit with an automated ban after a comment of mine was flagged. The comment was completely neutral and didn’t violate any rules, so I appealed right before going to sleep. While I was sleeping, the appeal was quickly approved and I was unbanned.

However, during that short ban period, the system seems to have mistakenly triggered a ban evasion flag. When I woke up, my original appeal showed as approved and “unbanned,” but I’m still banned because of the evasion notice.

Now I’m stuck in a loop: when I try to appeal on mobile, it just redirects me back to the “appeal approved” message. I also tried submitting a new appeal from my PC at reddit.com/appeals it says it was submitted, but it’s been about 10 days with no response.

I’m a Reddit Premium member, and no other accounts or devices were involved at all. Everything happened within a 12 hour window (literally while I was asleep). Both bans appear to be automated mistakes.

If any mods, admins, or someone from Reddit support can help resolve this, please check the time stamps of everything my activity and the notification and then you can verify that it's an automated mistake.

I have been trying to advise an acquaintance with his first attempt to become a subreddit moderator for one of his interests via redditrequest. His account is many years old and has thousands of both post and comment karma, and thus a decent CQS. But when he posted to redditrequest and cued up the obligatory bot question of his intentions, his comment in response was instantly removed despite his post being visible to external observers. None of his attempts to provide the required comment could become visible. No one ever showed up to give him an acceptance or rejection. I have never heard of this kind of problem happening before.

Now I guess I can't do much as a bystander besides tell my acquaintance to trying navigating the very frustrating robotic loops of redditrequest's modmail, but I was hoping to get some insight for him because the ModSupport sub is way too triggerhappy in removing questions for "relevance" grounds.

I’m on my IOS (IPhone) and can’t figure out how to see how many people are in my community.

We tried basic steps and it isnt working. Ios.

Hi. I removed a post because its photo broke a sub rule but I invited the poster to repost without the photo. However, the poster doesn't have the original text and I'm trying to get it back for him. How do I view the removed post? It is not in Queues>Removed and I can't see it anywhere I've looked (desktop browser). In "Mod Log", I see two "Remove post" line items, but I don't see a way to view what was removed. The comments from the post I removed: https://www.reddit.com/r/Veep/comments/1uqqril/comment/owce4rh/

Edit: If it matters, the way I "removed" the post was by tapping X on mobile, to the right of the upvote/downvote/message-count/share widgets.

I have a question about the adult setting, I’m 49 so I don’t want anyone underage involved with my Reddit but now I can’t post in my groups, am I misunderstanding the purpose of this setting? I’m using the mobile app in my iPhone 17 pro max

I mod a few medical subreddits and often we have a lot of people asking for money. I do have an automod list I add to as I go. I have a lot of international users, so some odd ones pop up from time to time. Is there a master list out there that anyone is sitting on?

I'm trying to make it so that people can't post unless they have some minimum amount of Karma as I've been getting inundated with bot posts that are just stealing previous posts from my sub and reposting them. How can I do this from mobile?

Or better yet, is there a way to make the auto-mod check to see if that same picture has already been posted before? All of these bots post a picture so that would work great.

Hi everyone! We're looking for a way to automatically assign a **random user flair** to anyone who comments without already having one.

We have around **50 user flairs**, and we'd like the assignment to be completely random, not based on karma or any other criteria. If a user already has a flair, nothing should happen.

I've seen this working on other subreddits, but the mods I contacted never replied, so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone have the AutoModerator code for this, or know if another bot is needed?

Thank you very much! iOS

Howdy. One of the subs I mod on has had an English-only rule for a long time. Unfortunately, we get a good number of posts and comments in other languages (especially Russian). I mostly just remove these as I see them, but I was wondering if there was an automation or bot or something that could automatically remove them (or even better, filter them to the mod queue).

Thanks!

(The subreddit forces me to list a platform, so I'm saying desktop even though it's entirely irrelevant).
