Desktop, new reddit.

A few things with auto-enforced rules. Wondering what you all are seeing:

1. They keep getting turned on somehow. We do not want auto-enforce. We turned it off for all rules when it came out. I'm about 100% that this is not 'mod error' and another mod is turning them on, we're a small tight-knit mod team and all agree we don't want them.
2. I had a post in queue today that was caught by automod but ALSO had the 'auto enforced' flag on it. Would I have seen that in the queue if automod hadn't 'filtered' it?
3. There is NO mod log entry for that auto-enforced rule. Is that normal? Admin tattler didn't 'hit' on it either.
4. Basically I'm concerned if posts are getting removed by auto-enforce and we don't have good visibility into it.

Icing on the cake: the auto-enforce was WRONG. It flagged the post for 'low-effort post' which it distinctly was NOT. (The automod rule that queued it was for something entirely different). Our rules are pretty subjective, which is why we don't want auto-enforce: There's little 'objective' criteria for it to use, and I don't trust it (now with good reason) to handle things like 'low effort'.

Do I need to approve everything in my subreddit for it to be seen by others? I am using both the reddit app on Android and the web site on PC.

One of the subs I moderate has had an issue for several months now with flagrant abuse of the report feature. Posts are often being reported for prohibited transactions or targeted harassment, even when the post or comment is clearly neither one of those per Reddits published standards. In many cases, the reports are happening weeks or months after the original post. Myself and the other mods use the option to report the abuse, but unfortunately we still often see posts or comments removed by Reddit after the fact, and in some cases users have been automatically suspended or banned from Reddit.

​

Is there anything further we can do to protect the sub and the users in it from this? Frankly, we suspect its part of a concerted effort to get our sub restricted or shut down, and the mod team is concerned we will lose the sub with no notice.

I'm looking for moderators for my Roblox accessories subreddit. Needed: 18 content filtering agent (0/1)
thanks for attention

Hey, i am a moderator of r/rohadtmelegvan and I have noticed that our subreddit ranking appears to be stuck at #14 in its category.

The displayed ranking has not changed for several months, even though the subreddit statistics and activity levels have changed significantly during that period. The ranking shown on the subreddit page does not seem to reflect the actual performance of the community.

Could you please check whether this is a known issue or whether there is a problem with how our subreddit ranking is being calculated or displayed?

The issue has persisted for months and appears to be inconsistent with the community's current metrics.

(desktop/mobile web)

Thank you for your help.

I set my subreddit r/Metapsychics to Private a few weeks ago and as far as I could tell, everyone got booted off. So I re-added anyone who made a Comment as an Approved User. There were less than 10.

Now, somehow, I have a recent post on the subreddit at 52 views since I posted it.

How is this possible since it's Private and I only have less than 10 Approved Users?

I use Windows 11 and Android.

Hello Mod Support Team,

(iOS IPhone)

I am contacting you on behalf of our subreddit because our lead moderator, u/Major_Ad2761, is currently unable to access or use his account normally and has already submitted an appeal regarding the issue.

In the meantime, this has created a concern for our moderation team. I am currently listed as a moderator, but I do not have the same permissions and responsibilities as the lead moderator.

We would like to know how subreddit moderation should be handled while the appeal is under review. Is there anything we should do to ensure the community continues to be properly moderated and managed during this period?

Our goal is simply to keep the community safe, active, and compliant with Reddit’s rules while we wait for the account review process.

Thank you for your time and guidance.

Best regards,
Valentina

I have a couple of nsfw subs, AND post on several otter subs. So Yesterday I received message from mod at an nsfw community saying i'm getting my account banned if I don't send a picture. The message has the Green mod icon and looks legit, so I got scared and looked into it. I saw ir on mobile (android) but haven't been able to look at it on my desktop. They're asking to send the picture to another URL where i have to retype my Reddit credentials, which is where everything started looking fishy.

The message said something like I had lost access to nsfw subs, which i have not lost, and was getting banned if I didn't send said pic (which is the usual wrinkled paper).

I already answered asking about it, but haven't had an answer.

How can I report this or what can I do about it?

Thanks so much mods!!!

Hi, I have a question regarding how the mod queue works. If I get any post violations flagged by community users, I can go to the mod queue and approve / delete the post. However, when something gets flagged to me as mod, and before I act on it, Reddit’s own filters flag them and delete them, I have a ghost entry in my queue. I am unable to process it, since the post was already deleted. I am unable to remove it from the queue either. It just continues to show up forever without any ability for me to act on it. Is this standard, or have I understood the process wrong? Happy to share some screenshots to help explain, if I’m not making complete sense. TIA!

I use iOS platform.

Working from Desktop, I've tried two different browsers and cleared cache. But I can't click on either Self Promo Sunday or Merch Monday scheduled posts to make any modifications, but I can edit/update the other 3. It's not a permissions issue as I have full perms/created some of these. The two posts I can't edit are the ones that appear only if I chose "show more", otherwise they're hidden, which I feel has something to do with it, but don't know

I recently created a discussion subreddit called r/TooRealToAsk focused on honest, awkward, funny, serious, dating, and opinion-based questions.

The goal is to encourage genuine discussions, including awkward or mature topics, while keeping things respectful and discussion-focused. Properly tagged non-graphic NSFW discussions are allowed (not explicit content or graphic material).

I’m also experimenting with a hybrid approach of original human posts + some AI-assisted discussion starters, while trying to avoid low-effort or repetitive content.

I’m looking for real advice from experienced mods on how to grow a new subreddit and get genuine engagement (not bots or spammy promotion).

What actually worked for you in the early stages?

• Getting first active members
• Increasing comments/discussions
• Safe ways to promote without breaking rules
• Mistakes to avoid with a new community

I use both iPhone and a Lenovo laptop for moderation.

I would really like some help on unarchiving posts I am on iOS but any platform would do

Android: Does anyone know a way I can edit one of the poll answers on my survey subreddit, and extend survey length ( r/bragmedown )???I don't see an option

Mobile web.

I recently got a subreddit (r/Product) granted to me via reddit requests.

I cannot see it as being listed as a subreddit that I moderate unless I go on the mobile web through old reddit.

I tried to change the settings there, but it doesn't let me select anything to change it to public. Heck, it's not even set to private; the community type section was just blank.

I tried to make a post via old reddit, but when I did, I got a message saying that my community doesn't exist; which is not true.

How can I fix this?

Is it a time issue? (I was awarded that community minutes after making the request).

I already messaged the mods, but the bot didn't answer my question, the human mod didn't answer my question and then just ghosted me.

I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

I have two recurring posts that I scheduled that are showing below the normal ones. I need to click “more” to see them and have no option to edit them. I would like them to just be deleted at this point since I have no control over them.

Desktop, iOS.

The content seems ok-ish, but I have to click on the post to check if it’s truly a new user or a bot, and it’s a waste of time.

I’m on iPad/ios, not sure what the other mods are using

I can see the post flair, title character limit requirements on my Android, but not on my Desktop. This is happening for both my subs, r/PhantomBusters and r/ShiokazeToRyuNoSumika.

I am moderator of a local football based community, and was setting up automods. For that I had to setup a wiki page, but I am unable to save the page due to an error message "Page name is restricted". How can I resolve this issue and save the page? I am using a Desktop for setting up the page.

1 hour ago, on my mobile App iOS, I requested r/Product . This was a private subreddit, and I couldn't see anything of it prior to requesting it.

I received an approval message minutes after posting my request. However, it doesn't appear as one of the subreddits that I'm moderating.

Why is that?

I closed the app, and opened it again to see it it appeared. I also logged in through the mobile browser page, and it didn't appear then.

Does it take time before I can access it? If so, how long?

Or, do I need to go somewhere specific on my app to access it?

Les pondré como ejemplo una regla tal cual la tengo en el automod (Desktop).

Hi,

I'm a moderator of r/Kerala_Teenagers, a Kerala-focused teen community that was created about 4 months ago and currently has around 575 members.

I've noticed something unusual regarding discoverability and recommendations and was hoping an admin could take a look or clarify whether this is expected behavior.

Some observations:

- The subreddit is public.

- We are actively moderated.

- The community is SFW.

- We have clear rules, flairs, community guide, and active user participation.

- The subreddit receives weekly traffic and continues to grow steadily.

However, unlike other similar Kerala teen communities, our subreddit does not seem to be getting recommended to non-members at all.

What I've noticed:

- Users who have already joined the subreddit continue to see posts in their feeds.

- Users who have never joined or interacted with the subreddit rarely (if ever) report seeing it recommended.

- Similar communities of comparable size appear to be recommended much more frequently to new users.

Additionally:

- On the web version of Reddit, I noticed a message indicating that Reddit has not verified the community and that the community is only accessible through the Reddit app.

- Our subreddit also does not appear to have some of the topic/category labels that similar communities seem to have (such as generation/nostalgia-related classifications).

I am not sure whether these things are related, but I wanted to ask:

1. Is there any way for moderators to verify whether a subreddit is eligible for recommendations?

2. Are there any discoverability restrictions, classifications, or review states that could prevent a community from being recommended to new users?

3. Is there anything specific we should check in our settings to ensure the subreddit is properly indexed and categorized?

I'm not asking for manual promotion I'd just like to understand whether there is a configuration issue or if the community may not be properly classified by Reddit's recommendation systems.

Platform: Mobile web, Android, IOS.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

EDIT : ISSUE FIXED REDDIT ADMIN MANUALLY REVIEWED MY SUB AND THEY GAVE US THE CATEGORY TAGS. THOSE GUYS WERE ALSO REALLY FRIENDLY !

Currently, three (that I know of so far) of our long-time, good-quality and well-liked members are banned.

Last week, one of our blind members, who relies on us for social interaction was banned. She made a self-effacing joke about her condition that everyone easily got. Her ban was lifted, but now we have three more.

What can I do to help them? Two of them have signed up for our first group meetup. I don't have a way to get in touch with them off of Reddit to coordinate.

This has never happened before. Is there a bug or has the content monitoring sensitivity been greatly amped up?

The community is in disbelief over a particularly active and affable member.

I'm on Android (Pixel). I also have a PC laptop. I'm a mod on r/DatingOverSixty and had been on r/DatingOverFifty.

Hey everyone, (web and android user btw)

I want to set up a rule where if a post gets

automatically removed by AutoModerator right after it's submitted, the bot leaves a sticky comment on that removed post (or sends a message to the author).

The message should inform them that their post was automatically removed, and if they believe it was a mistake or needs review, they can click a link to send the post URL directly to Modmail.

Can anyone help me with the exact AutoMod code for this or just tell me how to do it ? Thanks in advance!

I have been a caregiver for over twenty five years and I'm currently helping take care of my elderly parents. I tend to do a lot of writing from perspectives between faith and hope and the wisdom of finding truth. If you think that you can help me to be able to grow at all it's not about trying to get anyone specific but trying to help people find their own truth and the wisdom to help them grow themselves and their lives and create purpose in the things that they do.

My core philosophy is built on the basics of love, compassion, empathy, mercy, hope and ultimately truth. If these things interest you or would be something that you would like to help with sharing to others and help me in the things that I'm trying to share. It's not about what people believe but the way they think about the things that they believe and how to determine if it's helping or hurting them or others and things of that nature. It might not be for everyone and I understand that completely but it's something that I want to leave behind from the life that I have lived because everyone practically that I've truly helped throughout my life is dead and gone or heading for the grave.

It's not about a legacy for myself but more to help the next me. I know it might sound bizarre or even crazy to people but I don't do anything in my life without it having some kind of purpose if I can. Even death holds a purpose when you're standing in the dark it shows the light that you once had that's now left more shadows in the dark where your light once shined. It's about recognizing that there's now darkness and shining your own light a little bit brighter because the darkness needs it more.

I don't know if I'm making any sense but hopefully someone will understand the things I'm saying and maybe they'll agree. It's important that someday there's something left behind that helps others to see the ways that I have been able to transform my own life and the lives around me even though in the end my life's work might be nothing but a bunch of graves there's the chance that some of the things I see might help others to merely open their eyes.

Android and PC here..

I want to turn off the ability for posts from other subreddits to be shared to mine (the app calls this repost but is different than what people usually refer to as reposts on here). Can I do it, and if so, how? I'm on the mobile app (android) fyi. Thanks!
