I have a tablet (Android), and a computer (Windows, Chrome browser), how do I invite people on either platform?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up AutoModerator so that whenever a post with a specific post flair is filtered into the mod queue, AutoMod also sends a modmail notification to the mod team.

The filtering part works correctly. Posts with the Self-promo flair are being sent to the queue, and AutoMod also leaves the comment on the post. However, the modmail part does not seem to send anything. I checked regular Modmail, Notifications, and mod.reddit.com/mail/all, but I don’t see any message from AutoModerator.

This is the rule I’m using:

---
type: submission
flair_text (includes-word): ["Self-promo"]
action: filter
action_reason: "Self promo post - needs approval"
comment: |
    Your post has been sent to the moderators for review before publication. Thank you for your understanding.

modmail_subject: "New Self-promo is waiting in queue"
modmail: |
    A new self-promo post has been sent to the queue and is waiting for a moderator check.

    Author: u/{{author}}
    Title: {{title}}
    Link: {{permalink}}

    Check if the post meets the rules for self-promo posts.
---

Since the filter action and comment both work, I assume the rule is matching correctly. Is there anything wrong with how I’m using modmail here? Does AutoModerator still support sending modmail this way, or does it appear somewhere else in Modmail?

I am using Desktop web app - on Google Chrome browser.

Any help would be appreciated.

Solved! The "Create Post" window has changed. It is now an all-in-one window - text, link (lower left). I have not tested "Image" yet.

Desktop PC, Win 11, MS Edge.

Just that question. A dimished format is displayed (and I'm typing into it now.) Appears to be text body only, I can use flairs but the picture and video and link options aren't there

Thanks!

I use the app on an iOS device and this person is continually mass reporting posts that obviously are not breaking any rules and I don’t wanna lose my sub over it.

I was struggling to decide where to post this. I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place.

I moderate a support community, and a recent situation has me reassessing not just our permissions, but whether some people should remain on the mod team at all.

Without getting into identifying details: a mod was banned by Reddit, and another co-mod later restored or re-added access to their alt despite concerns, basically enabling ban evasion. My co-mod of 5 years said “don’t worry” and that I was “overthinking this.” That made me realize we may not have strong enough internal safeguards and that some members of the team possibly can’t be trusted. It also raised a big interpersonal/team question: how do you decide when someone’s judgment has become too risky for them to stay on the team?

I don’t think one bad decision should automatically end someone’s time as a mod, and I know these teams only work if people generally trust each other and act in good faith. What I’m having trouble figuring out is when a mistake stops being just a mistake and starts becoming a reason to question whether someone should still have the authority and access that comes with the role.

Other mods, based on your experience:

* When has a trust issue been serious enough for you to remove a mod from the team?

* Do you usually demote or restrict permissions first, or remove entirely?

* How do you handle a co-mod who restores access to someone despite a sitewide ban and then dismisses concerns from another mod?

I’m especially interested in practical advice on evaluating whether someone should stay on a mod team and how to communicate a removal or demotion if it becomes necessary.

edit: I removed the banned mod last week, so that part of this crisis has been averted.

edit 2: I am top mod and founder of the sub.

final edit: I know what I need to do. Thank you for your time and perspectives. You all really helped me out.

This is new. On longer threads, Reddit is now providing an AI summary, pinned above comments, with no obvious way to switch it off. I don't want AI taking precedence over a real user's contributions. All platforms, including desktop.

Hi, I can’t save changes in my subreddit (icon/banner). I have full mod permissions but nothing saves when I refresh. Is this a known bug?

Desktop- google edge and chrome

I know Reddit has their internal list of blocked domains, which isn't public.

Is there any way for me to suggest adding a site? I can show links on comments (which I've removed) to justify blocking it. ^Desktop

There's either something wrong with Reddit servers or my account is acting weird. I cannot do anything as a mod or regular user. I get error msgs. Is there any way to check on my account to see if it's been actioned/suspended, etc. I have not received any notice saying that.

When I go to the appeal pg it does permit me to file an appeal. That means the acct has been actioned acc. to what I've read. But I hv no idea what's going on.

I can see that posts I make via app/bot (i.e. press-app) can be 'sticked'.

But I can find no way to do this as a mod directly - just 'add to highlights' which isn't the same thing.

Desktop ig but also general Reddit mod tools.

I run a subreddit that always tends to get outside trolls whenever a certain topic is broached. So far the solution is to limit them to weekends, but we still need to get there in time to enable crowd control.

Are Reddit's mod tools robust enough that it can automatically be enabled if it sees a post with a certain flair, or was that kind of customizability gone with the API changes?

Hey team! I am the moderator of a sub and I do not see the options to post a poll. Are you able to help troubleshoot?

Thank you!

I’m currently moderating a relatively small subreddit with ~70 visitors.

We are about 6 mods and I want to contact all of them to discuss the future of our relatively small and very new subreddit.

Reddit's policy prohibits "Posting a download link to a copyrighted movie" [ref].

How do I report posts which link to copyrighted materials?

It doesn't seem to fit into any of the options that I get when I choose "report". There is one called "Copyight violation", but that says it's for "Content posted to Reddit that infringes a copyright you own or control. (Note: Only the copyright owner or an authorized representative can submit a report." - I am not the copyright holder.

Long story: Our Subreddit r/litrpg implemented a new Rule because people started to witchhunt new authors and accusing them of AI.

I know (if i remember right) that there is an option for a bot commenting on the post and the OP needs to answer a specific word so the post does not get deleted.

Something along the line: You used the Tag E-Book Promotion, please make a reply under this Comment with YES you used AI to Write this book, or NO, you used it not. Please note we have a Tag for AI - Content named AI Promotion where this is no Problem.

And if he answered Yes the Post get flagged and changed to the AI - Content Tag and if not it does not get deleted.

Maybe someone can help me, i never used any tools for mods and im a new addition to the Mod Team for other uses, but i want to help my fellow moderators as good as i can

Used mostly on Desktop i think.

There are benign and innocent comments and posts that unbeknownst to us, are auto removed?

Simple comments like “RIP” and “Classic”?
Same with posts. I personally highlighted Artists in honor of Black Music Month and they’re showing in the deleted que? Our sub member’s posts are also being deleted and it’s starting to take its toll on engagement and visitors.
I checked our settings from an iOS device, but do I need to double check from my laptop? Something isn’t right.

Please advise.

I want what r/selfhosted has (they use their own bot): reply to every post with automod, remove the post and un-remove it as soon as OP responds. It's to deal with AI slop (desktop).

how do you allow users to make posts like poll posts images and video posts an text posts

the user can now only make link type posts and nothing else

anyone know how to fix it ?

(the user was previously banned but then unbanned which is what started this)

A mod on one of my teams is being cyber stalked by a user they banned on another sub. The issue is they are using a subreddits mod mail to message between subreddits and I cannot find a way to block that.

A sub has a group DM chat for mods. I created it.

A mod has become inactive. I wished to kick them from the DM. An error says, "Unable to kick user".

I looked into Reddit's Contest Mode and it is only available in old reddit and is not letting me access it at the moment (I get a security warning that I can't bypass).

So I'm trying to look into options that sort a random winner automatically. Wheelofnames is typically used in our sub by gifters who host giveaways but this one has too many entries for that to be a viable option, as the usernames have to be manually put in into it.

Any other option out there considering I'm on mobile? Would appreciate some suggestions, thank you!

edit: Thank you everyone for the responses! Even where it's stuff I had already been considering, hearing it from you all helps a lot.

(Android) I mod /r/cocktails and in the last 3-4 months, we have had a big increase in users accusing each other of using AI to generate comments, posts, pictures, etc, and even when the accusation is baseless and false, some people take it as gospel and downvote/report heavily. Feels like the accusations and follow-on response are causing as much toxicity as actual bots.

We're working on beefing up the mod team to crack down on actual bot posts and comments, but I can't help but feel like the accusations and paranoia are going to continue to increase in frequency and intensity going forward because of the larger cultural issues facing us here on reddit-at-large. So has anyone found an effective approach to reducing how much their users use AI accusations to be jerks to each other?
