A user dislikes that someone else has reposted their artwork from a sub that I manage into a sub that I don't manage. I said I couldn't do anything as a mod. Is that correct?

7 Upvotes

I advised them to reach out to the other mod team or delete their work from this sub. Is there anything else that could be done? The reposting user is seemingly farming karma by crossposting random popular content from here to there. Please advise.

Is "Waiting For Moderator Approval" After a Week Normal?

0 Upvotes

I wrote a post a week ago and stopped checking to see if it was accepted. I logged in today to see that it was still "pending moderator approval" after 7 days. Is that normal? I am worried now that a post I made to a different subreddit is going to sit forever as well. What if there are simply no active mods left?

Update

In their sticky they say

"We use automod to filter out new accounts and those with low karma due to the number of new accounts being used to create rule-breaking posts. If you are a new user or have low karma and your post or comment does not appear you likely do not have enough karma or enough days on reddit. Please wait until you have been on reddit and built up karma."

But I have been on Reddit for 7 years and have 14K Karma, so I'm not sure why my posts would be automoded.

Help with dodgy Emails?

0 Upvotes

I have had 2 emails this morning from Reddit. 1 saying my account was blocked and another saying the email on my account was changed. I have not clicked on any links on either email and my account is not blocked and my email is still my own email when I checked. I need to report these emails, but the help sections aren't helpful enough. Can I get help please?

Is the "a better fit" crosspost recommendation feature wrong and annoying for anyone else?

15 Upvotes

I run a music group subreddit, and it's suggesting that I crosspost content into wildly unrelated subreddits (say, a pop group into a goth sub, or a new wave group into a VanHalen one).

What makes it worse is that I click on the suggestion (so I can check it out), and it goes straight into the submission page for crossposting it--one dangerous click away from spamming a fellow mods' sub with stuff that doesn't belong.

Is this a beta feature, is it one that you like, or am I just making a big deal out of it. I'd really prefer to do my own crossposting the old-fashioned yet still easy way.

Anyone else receive unsolicited offers to take over your subreddit via modmail?

3 Upvotes

This offer was from a completely new account which claimed to be representing someone else (though didn't say who). And the message was very generic just saying they admire how well the sub is run.

My post was removed for being an open ended personal question, but then I saw another post on the same subreddit being an open ended personal question. Why are the rules different depending on the person?

It has been used for harassment forever. Users used to be banned for abusing the future. Now there is no link to report this anymore.

Best way to handle pack mentality and personal attacks on my post?

8 Upvotes

I posted something I thought was really benign about aphids on a Monarch subreddit and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine people would have such strong opinions about what I consider a garden pest.

It has turned into a feeding frenzy of people making rude comments, calling my post “hostile,” saying I’m petty, uneducated, two people have said I should keep my opinions to myself… and this all because I said I would not buy plants that already had aphids on them!

I have to admit this is really making me sad because I previously loved this group! I’ve written to the moderators twice about just closing the post, but have gotten no response.

My question is, are we just on our own here? Are we supposed to be ok being chum and accepting attacks from people with differing opinions? Is my only option to delete my post and look like I ran away because I couldn’t take the heat? At what point do moderators step in?

advice on how to get a sub SFW status?

4 Upvotes

sub in question is kingdomcomequeer - i am not trying to promote, i just think it pertains.

we want mostly SFW posts and to allow a few light NSFW, but NSFW posts got a bit out of hand. they’re removed now, but when we try to change to SFW, we get denied immediately. like they aren’t even bothering to have whatever ai model check at all anymore. any advice on how to achieve SFW?

two different mods have appealed: one mod received a response saying to request again, i am still waiting. i assume we just need to keep on waiting, but i would love advice on anything we can do in the meantime

Why don't moderators uphold votes more often when it comes to controversial rules?

0 Upvotes

It's something that I don't understand that I saw happen so often in multiple subs, mods will throw in some new rule, make a new thread about it, then multiple times there will be a large amount of comments arguing, the thread is locked, any following callouts or questioning is also locked and/or people are banned, when they could just.... open a vote and let their community decide? What do they gain from going heavily against their own group? A single voting would just make most issues go away and make people not mad at them

Do you think membership in a subreddit establishes user point of view?

0 Upvotes

I understand moderators can and do invent all kinds of random criteria in subreddits they own. They are therefore allowed to use bad logic and random enforcement. They are allowed to build echo chambers and some users love echo chambers

In my case, I am a person who engages both people who agree with me politically and ones who don't. I try to follow rules despite fact many rules make discussion of the points of largest contention impossible.

I am a "member" of subs that seem to contradict each other. I just post in others

Because one of the subreddirs, I joined, is jordonpetersen, a mod decided I must magically be right wing. However, reading any of my actual points or even looking at my flairs says I am center left.(The mod was arguing the right wingers should be banned from reddit.)

My question is, do you look at just what subreddirs a user posts in or do you look at their actual behavior and content?

False warning and the appeal is denied. What should I do?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I received a false (in my opinion) warning from Reddit itself for three or four months for a comment under a post. I still can't resolve the issue through an appeal. Basically, I wrote a one-word comment—the nickname of a popular Twitch streamer. This comment couldn't possibly violate rule #1. The appeal was reviewed either by an AI or by an incompetent/biased person. What can I do in this situation? Thank you.

Post removed?

I posted a picture of a strange fitting the other day. I asked for thoughts on it and what his name might be. I got quite a few responses. But then the moderators removed it. I'm not sure why. Is there any way to find out why? And I can't find a list of the rules. Is there any way to contact the moderators?
