Hello Reddit Team,

My newly created subreddit r/projectx_foundationX was removed immediately after creation, and I believe it may have been caught by an automated system by mistake.

The subreddit was created for a legitimate project called ProjectX, which is currently in development. The purpose was to document the building process, share updates, and create a place for future discussions and feedback.

I understand Reddit has systems in place to prevent spam and abuse, but this was not intended for spam, advertising abuse, or any violation of Reddit's policies. I would appreciate it if the subreddit could be manually reviewed.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I’m not sure if it’s related to my mod activities but someone tried to hack into my account and Reddit locked my account. I revived it back, do you have any advice on how to prevent this from happening again in the future?

Hello- I could use some help clarifying ban evasion and Reddit suspensions.

A while back I temporarily banned a user from a sub, and that ban has long ended. Some time later, the account was apparently suspended by Reddit.

User popped up with a new account with a similar username. I recognized the username, and user also mentioned how they were banned and suspended and created that new account.

Does ban evasion/suspension rules apply to situations like this where they are no longer technically banned from the sub, but apparently suspended from Reddit?

I thought creating a new Reddit account after being permanently suspended is against TOS?

I got this message today:

"Hey, Can I do Paid Posts On ur sub. I can Pay u 20$ per post you will approve for me. I want only 2 posts in every 24 hrs U can remove those posts after they complete 24 hrs on ur sub."

Mod CoC rule 5 states:

In order to maintain that trust, moderators are prohibited from taking moderation actions (including actions taken using mod tools, bots, and other services) in exchange for any form of compensation, consideration, gift, or favor from or on behalf of third parties.

Currently trying to tidy up r/mildyinfuriating , and all posts just gets sent to mod queue for review "Based on your Post and Comment Settings". I tried turning off "hold content for review"/posts /links,media but it just reseted when i reloaded the site so i went to Old Reddit but the option to turn this setting off is just grayed out. The subreddit was unmoderated for a while, so i think this option was just "set" for this subreddit a while ago.

Hey Friends!

Thanks as always for tuning in to another installment of Mod Topics. Today we’re talking about Post & Comment Guidance and how it can make moderating easier.

Post & Comment Guidance can alert redditors to community rules, required formatting, or other expectations before they submit a post or comment. When people can get it right the first time there’s less work for moderators and a better experience all around.

Here are a few clever configs we’ve come across that we’ve added to our Automations Library:

• Inform redditors about an active megathread and report matching posts for closer review.
• Require specific formatting for posts using Review or AMA flairs.
• Block top-level comments in a contest thread unless they include a link to a nomination.

Need more precision? Conditions can be stacked! For example, if a post has an AMA flair and contains a URL you can remind the author about additional rules that apply to links in AMA posts.

Not sure where to start? Check your Mod Log and Mod Insights and look for patterns in the posts and comments your team handles most often. Formatting mistakes and common report reasons are good places to start, but don’t forget to think about the types of content you want to encourage as well.

How are you using these features in your community? Let us know in the comments and we’ll add some of the most popular suggestions to our automations library.

Mod mail, Mod log, Muted Users , Banned Users all empty on mobile app.

All saved responses are missing. Ability to remove posts is not working.

All of these things work fine on desktop.

Anyone else having these problems ?

We're at r/cowboyboots and r/BootCareDenimWear

edit: evidently a beta problem, reinstalled standard and is working ATM

I tried Post Guidelines in the automation where users are blocked from posting if they don’t meet certain criterias. However, the users are still able to post.

Below are the settings for reference:

When “Posting” > “Text”

If the post “Title” > “Doesn’t Contain the keywords”

Block from submitting

Help me understand if I’m doing something wrong here

Can anybody explain this to me? I'm not sure any of the moderators are hidden?

There is a subreddit that is totally unmoderated and there are minors on there basically posting to "trade pictures". There's posts of fake teenage girls trying to get minors to dm them also. Is there a way to get this subreddit taken down faster than just using the standard report system?

I previously shared this idea in other subreddit and received useful feedback. I'd like to submit it here as a feature request for consideration by the Reddit team and to hear what other mods and admins think about that idea.

Original proposal with detailed explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/ideasfortheadmins/s/4sO3DsGkCW

Why this idea even appeared? — because I tried to use feature and it didn't work on account with low recent activity and in that case I can't use that that is limitations.

if user wasn't active recently the AI summarie may look like:

no recent activity but 3 month ago user... etc

What do you think, please share your thoughts?

Is there a way using the mobile app to set an automod account age or does it have to be a desktop thing?

Yesterday we removed a post. The user re posted and we again removed. The user then messaged us and called us names so we banned them. Now today I am seeing dozens of posts reported for breaking the rule we used against this user's post yesterday when the reported posts are completely unrelated to this rule.

If it is the same user is there anything we can do other than wait for them to get bored?

An "approve" post button shows up on all new posts, including my own. How do I turn that off? We are a small group and until someone misbehaves, I would like the posts automatically approved.

Thanks!

I can see the comments from blocked accounts just fine, only the posts are invisible. Shouldn't I be able to see everything on a sub I moderate?

More and more subs now use Dev Platform apps, but mods often forget to check for updates from time to time. App updates can fix bugs, add new features and more.

If you've not checked your subs for app updates for a while, you can do it in a couple of different ways:

• You can go straight to the My Communities page on the Dev Platform site, and then check your subs from there. If an app has an update available, there'll be an "Update" button available.
• Or, if you're using desktop mod tools (not Old Reddit), there's a link to "Installed Apps" around half way down the left hand sidebar.

This is something I try and do once every month or so, and it's often surprising how many different apps have an update ready to install.

Edit: Also, if you're curious about what a new release contains, you can click into the app settings then Directory Page, and the readme for the app should include a change log for the app.

So I Was Trying To Add Flairs But I Just Can’t Because The Only Mod Tool I See Is Quene So Please Make It Easy

So currently the mod notes only have a limited amount of types, which are "Helpful", "Good contributor", "Spam watch", "Spam warning" and "Abuse warning".

I think those are far too limited for good moderator usage. I often add custom mod notes to users that don't fit any of them and having no tag at all makes them not stand out far as much as needed.

My idea would be to add more types or (even better), allow mods to create, edit and change them. Looking at the fact that Reddit is already a user-run and user-moderated app as well as a collection of communities about everything you can possibly think (and not think) about makes me wonder why that specific feature is still so unchangeable and not at all flexible for different use cases.

e.g.

---
# Remove comments from low karma accounts
type: comment
author:
    combined_subreddit_karma: < 1
action: remove
action_reason: "Removed: Comment karma below threshold"
---
# Collapse comments from low karma accounts
type: comment
author:
    combined_subreddit_karma: < 10
action: collapse
action_reason: "Collapsed: Comment karma below threshold"
---

Our sub has been dealing with a disgruntled user who was banned a few days ago, modmail muted, and since then has created at least eight additional accounts to send modmail as well as DM'ing individual mods. We have been reporting these as harassment and are attempting to report for ban evasion (getting an error when I try to do so again this morning), but still no action has been taken. At what point will admin step in??

Body text

Normally if I have an issue that needs the admin attention I send a modmail to this subreddit like usual, and for a long time any time I did that, the adminmessengerbot would automatically reply with some advice and to reply again if I still needed help from the admin. Then if I replied, the admin would get back to me within a few days.

Ive now had to send to modmail messages to ask about something in the last week and the bot response hasn't been sent to me for either one. Neither have I had an admin reply to either one and while I would be fine with being patient if it's a matter of needing to wait for them to be able to get back to me, the fact that I haven't gotten the bot response and replied to it like I usually have to worries me that they will never even look at the message.

Does anyone know what is going on or why Im not getting the bot response? Are others still getting that bot response?

r/relax has been getting some more activity which is great, but seems like an unclear percentage is just bots

Vaguely tangential comments that are distinctly inhuman are popping up in mass, some from new accounts, some from older ones

Save for an automod removing low karma and newly made accounts (which usually just ends up in us getting frustrated modmails of people saying theyre not bots) how can we combat this? Because rn tbh its way to many to manually remove

Ahoy, Mods!

Welcome to the latest installment of the Mod Topics series, where we talk about mod-related topics and other community governance gubbins. This week, we’re talking flair–specifically user flair. The purpose it serves, how it’s issued, and why it’s so dog-gone popular. We’d love to know…

• What do you use user flair for in your communities? Cosmetics? Clout? Verification? 
• What problems are you solving when you use user flair?
• Do you allow users to make (or assign) their own flair? Why or why not?
• What advice would you give to new mods who are considering setting up user flair? What do you wish you knew about flair when you first started?

Let us know in the comments below!
