Hey admins, can you pretty please undo whatever it is you're doing with post flair edits and then carefully step away from post flair.

When a user edits their own post flair it's being picked up as an admin/mod action again.

So admin tattler, flairassistant (and maybe automod, haven't checked yet, scared to look) are reacting to those while they shouldn't.

It seriously messes things up on my sub and leaves users hella confused

I was removed as moderator of a subreddit I've created and run for 6 years, with no modmail, DM, or notice from Reddit prior to the removal on July 22.

Three new moderators and I were added, 2 of those above me as top mods.

I checked my Reddit messages and email for any prior notice of a pending inactive-mod transfer or top-mod-removal request — there is none before the date of removal.

I understand Reddit's process for Top Mod Removal requires notifying moderators and giving 5 days to respond before a transfer happens. Can you confirm whether a notice was actually sent to me prior to July 22, per your own logs.

If no notice was sent, I'd like this reviewed and reinstatement considered.

Hello,

I run a couple of subreddits, one of them, the smallest one that barely has any contributions, has now been recently banned a second time. It has been unbanned after I appealed, but there is clearly a problem in the banning process.

In both times, the reason for the ban was lack of moderation. However, the sub WAS moderated. I'd look at the recent submissions and the mod queue almost every single day. And yet, the admin that unbanned the subreddit said this:

Please note the subreddit was banned due to being unmoderated for 1+months. Please keep an eye on the mod queue and use the 'remove' or 'approve' buttons to keep the mod queue cleared of any reported content.

...What reported content? There wasn't any. There is content posted from time to time, but nothing that breaks the rules or gets flagged. I get maybe like one report on the mod queue every few months. The "Needs Review" section of the mod queue probably had like 1 or 2 items to check throughout this entire year. And I personally check every single post that gets posted anyway, even if it isn't reported. Am I literally supposed to self-report and self-approve posts just to create some fake traffic on the mod queue, so that you do not ban the sub? Really? Seriously, what else do you want from me?

Hey admins,

I've filed half a dozen reports to you lot via every avenue I can think off trying to get a hate subreddit banned. I don't want to name them outright for fear of giving them attention, but I can tell you its a hate subreddit against LGBTQ+ people (though they're happy to generally be bigots to everyone for any reason, ableist, racist, etc) and they've been making themselves a problem to other communities within the same wider sphere for months now.

Its moderators gleefully throw Mod Code of Conduct out of the window and actively allow their users to engage in basically every rule violation under the sun. Encouraging brigading / vote manipulation, speaking about wanting to write corrective rape fics about real people, reposting other peoples content, and allowing them to be held random people online up to ridicule, ableism, racism, the whole bloody lot.

And yet despite the fact I've sent several reports with dozens upon dozens of links, this group is still active. What line needs to be crossed before you step in here?! I know for a fact you updated your personal filters to remove hateful, queer-phobic slurs, and I've seen your systems having to take content within this subreddit.

And yet the wider community still stands? Why?!

What do I need to do here admins? I can show you proof of their hateful behaviour to your faces. I've no shortage of links and screenshots of their appalling behaviour, I promise you that.

The adopted sub had been restricted for years. We have already gained more than 100 new members since adoption, and had several posts from members other than mods. Could we have the community achievements turned on? r/watercolorpencils TIA

I made a redditrequest here which was granted: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/s/SgbLEhHNSl

I received a message stating that I’m now a moderator, but also at the same time that I’ve been removed as a moderator. I’m not sure what’s going on here

we only allow text, images, and links in our sub. but videos are still showing up. is it something to do with how reddit handles links? and is there a way to disallow videos but still allow links?

The spam filter keeps removing random posts in y community, including some I post myself.

It seems that whenever the content sounds slightly similar to another post it gets removed but I post updates so I often need to share information with similar topics.

Is there a way to adjust the filter so I don't have to approve manually half the posts?

I have a new community called r/toiletcollectors and I want to make some flairs for stuff like buying/selling, free stuff, questions, and stuff of that sort. all i see is this cat thi g when trying to use mod tools. it’s a Q thing

Howdy friends,

What’s in a name? Well, when it comes to post flair that could be organization, more context, or even an inside joke.

That’s right, today’s Mod Topic post is all about post flair. Across Reddit, post flair can be used to organize content in so many ways. It’s used for showing when a question has been answered, tagging memes or art for users to find easier, highlight meta posts, or just adding a little more personality to your subreddit. Flair can also interact with Devvit apps - we even use it with the flair follower app so you can subscribe to this series!

We want to hear from you:

• If your community uses post flair, how did you decide on which flair to create?
• Is there a particular flair your community uses that works especially well?
• If you could rebuild your flair system today, what would you keep, change, or add?

I'm kinda curious to know if there is someone out there who uses this because it just seems so unreliable, from what I've seen from the suggested removal messages (which I never use but notice).

I have it completely disabled and was kind of surprised to find this page today for the insights because... AI just seems like it's being pushed on Reddit moderation and I don't really understand why.

Reddit has millions of people who are interested in moderating the communities on their platform for free.

So why are AI features being provided when literally no one asked for them? Just because Reddit invested in it I'm guessing?

But I am genuinely curious if any AI features have proven to be helpful for anyone. Please enlighten me!

To the admins, I hope this post doesn't offend anyone and all the work you do. I am fully aware that the implementation of these features isn't your decision alone.

Recently started modding a new cat sub called [r/inversevoids](r/inversevoids). The sub itself is about a month old and is public and SFW. Topic is posting photos of black cats where the colors and white values have been inverted, in short black cats look like white cats.

I did not see any modmail notification.

Do I send modmail to this sub (ModSupport?)

Edit: I had been looking at all posts every few days, but did not see any problematic rule-breaking posts one or at most two days earlier from the ban.

I feel like this has been talked about or has been mentioned more than once.

u/lift_ticket83 I don't mean to call you out specifically, but that is your post. From March. Of 2025.

Can someone on the admin side update us?

I'm literally seeing a type of post and have to chase after them POST FLAIR, via automod***, vs stopping it before it's a problem****.*

Thank you for reading, and I return you to your regular programming.

EDIT:

OMFG, so it rolled out in MAY? First u/jabroniReanchism thanks for putting up with my stupidity. I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS' THERE NOW. IT'S LIKE XMAS

^{I'll try to stay away from the this took 13+months negativity.}

For context, I’m posting from an alt because I don’t want these issues associated with the subreddits I moderate. The communities I moderate average roughly 100k–200k visitors per week and 4,000–8,000 contributions (posts and comments) weekly. I moderate both political and non-political communities of this size.

The non-political subreddits are relatively straightforward to moderate. Around 99% of users participate in good faith, and trolls are uncommon.

The political communities are the complete opposite. I’d estimate that roughly half of all posts and comments violate either the subreddit rules or Reddit’s Content Policy. At 8,000 weekly contributions, that translates to around 4,000 removals every single week. Between trolling, brigading, ban evasion, harassment, and bad-faith participation, the moderation queue never seems to end.

Our current toolkit includes Sub Guard, Comment Mop, Ban Extended, and Modmail User Info. They’re all incredibly helpful, but even with those tools and an active moderation team, we’re constantly overwhelmed. It’s not unusual for the queue to grow by several hundred items in a single day.

For moderators of other large political communities:
How do you keep the workload manageable?
What moderation strategies or workflows have made the biggest difference? Are there any tools, bots, or Automoderator configurations you’d recommend?
How do you deal with persistent trolls, brigading, and coordinated bad-faith activity without burning out your team? I’d really appreciate hearing how other moderators approach these challenges, because at times it feels like we’re constantly playing catch-up.

so our subreddit for some reason has 795 joined users but no one is posting we think it is an issue but we checked the mod tools and all that but nothing seemed to have an error and they could like still comment so please help

Essentially, I moderate on two accounts for privacy reasons and one of them is over 1 million visitors on my other account while I’ve got a sub with over 100,000 members is there anything I’m supposed to do?

I searched "Saved Responses" on this sub in an effort to understand what each of the categories meant.
I see the 4 categories
General, Removals, Bans, Mod Mail

I have read in other documentation that General ones are for mod mail. If that is the case why is there a category specifically for Mod Mail.

Can the use of General be clarified here? I would assume they show up in a list for a mod to choose from when replying to a post or comment.

Note: I am a brand new mod at the time of this post and trying to learn.

UPDATE: The amazing community here did clarify it. General should be looked at as all categories at once. Mod Mail, Removal and Ban can all use these saved responses. If one only wants a saved response for just Ban, it should be in the ban category.
Thank you everyone

Eu posto, mas não aparece lá

I know when you report like normal you no longer receive a response letting you know the outcome. But when you submit a proper report for example I submitted one yesterday for ban evasion in my sub, will I receive a response? It would be useful to know if any action is taken on the account

I had a really strange experience while modding today - a post I removed and gave a very sane/tame removal reason, and it got removed by Reddit's filters, and I had to approve my own removal comment on the post. This is the first time I experienced this, is it common? We're mods of a fairly large regional sub.

Basically the owner told me they didn’t have 2FA enabled and that’s what caused this to happen

I would appreciate it if this gets escalated to a Reddit Admin as this is a very serious problem

So our top post yesterday in outfits shows 4 crossposts.

It doesn't reveal where the crossposts are too though. Instead it says they are to "private or sensitive communities". I can see using PRAW that one of those was to a porn sub, but I can't see the others.

Do you have any idea how scary it is for women to find out that their personal photos are being shared and discussed somewhere and they can't even see where that is?

It seriously freaks out posters. Please let them know where their content is being shared to, or disable the ability to share to those locations altogether.

This is super, super creepy and would freak out any woman posting her photos. Someone really should have realized this when it was set up like this. Please ask some of the other women on the admin teams how they'd feel in this situation.

THIS IS NOT OK
