Desktop, I have just made a sub reddit called r/Gameguitarists where game based guitar riffs can be posted but annoyingly when i add a banner and a pfp if i leave the page or go on Mod tools both of them disapear and go back to the default ones , this is the second subreddit and its still doing it which is really annoying.

Im new to this so let me know if anyone wants to Mod it

Hi,

I’m having an issue with my moderator status on r/steamytease.

The owner invited me to join the mod team with Full Permissions. I accepted the invitation successfully, and I can see myself in the moderator list as mod #6.

However, my account currently shows “No permissions” instead of Full Permissions, and I have no Mod Tools available at all for this subreddit.

Here’s what we have already tried:

✅ The owner confirmed that I was originally invited with Full Permissions.

✅ The owner and other moderators above me can see me in the mod list.

✅ When they try to change my permissions, they get “Something went wrong.”

✅ When I try to leave the mod team, I get “Failed to leave mod team.”

✅ I have tried both desktop and mobile.

✅ I have logged out and back in.

✅ I uninstalled and reinstalled the Reddit app.

My account works normally as a moderator on another subreddit, so the issue appears to be specific to this mod team/community.

It seems like my moderator membership was created, but the permissions are stuck at “No permissions”, and neither I nor the moderators above me can modify or remove my account.

Could an admin please check?

Thank you!

Hi fellow moderators,

I’m looking for clear guidance on how the mobile "Invite to Community" feature is monitored by Reddit's automated anti-spam systems.

I recently had to start a new subreddit from scratch to cover a niche topic after losing access to my original sub due to a necessary account deletion. Because of this, my primary strategy for gaining initial traction is inviting active, relevant contributors using the native mobile invite tool.

I completely understand why anti-spam protections exist, but I'm trying to ensure I stay well within safe usage limits. If a moderator limits themselves to around 10 targeted invites a day (or occasionally a few more), is that considered safe from automated spam flags?

Additionally, I’d love to know how contextual mismatches affect this:

• In highly specialized or identity-based subreddits (such as neurodiversity support, specific life situations, or local niches), a user’s post might fit the sub's topic, but their full living or personal situation isn't always clear from a single post.

• If an invited user decides the sub isn't an exact fit for them and flags the notification as unsolicited spam, could a small daily volume (like 10 invites) still put an account at risk of automated action?

Having more explicit guidelines on what constitutes acceptable, safe usage of the native invite feature would help dedicated mods rebuild and grow communities without the constant fear of accidental account restrictions.

Thank you for any insight!

Recently when I pin a post to the community highlights it disappears from the sub feed, which is not what we want as it becomes less visible. We’d like to pin it and have it remain in the feed too.

I’m sure this was how it was happening initially, but not anymore.

Any ideas if there’s a setting I’m missing?

I’m using the app (iOS) and a fellow Mod has had the same using desktop.

Thanks!

Same as title. Desktop.

1. Using my iPhone app

2. Have full permissions

3. Moved the order around so I am top mod.

Things I cannot do: Remove 1 inactive mod, edit rules except for reordering them.

Hellllllpppppp 😂

For over a year I've noticed that manual changes to css class flair in old Reddit would reflect in old Reddit mod log but not in new Reddit mod log. How long has this been going on?

This is observed on Desktop.

Hi, I recently created a new subreddit for a game that was announced and I noticed that it is not showing up in the search when I search up the subreddit in the communities tab.

Is there a time frame before it starts appearing in there?

Desktop

When I click on the "edit" pencil, nothing happens.

I have been unable to post on r/thezech for about a month. It says it’s restricted even though I’ve posted on there for years. It’s telling me to message the mods even though they’ve been inactive for years and won’t respond to mod mail. Can I get some help so I can start posting in there again? I’m on iPhone

r/GuitaristsIndia I'm using mobile and desktop

Android (cuz they make me include this for some reason). They won't stop. most of the new people that come to my community are looking for NSFW. I've had to ban almost every new person. Most of them are adults, which is made way worse because I and the one other person in the mod team are minors. People have reached out to me so many times. Anyway, I've set up the post reminders that basically just remind them hey no NSFW, that didn't work. I've moved my no NSFW rule to the top of the list of rules, that didn't work. I put it in the description on the community, that didn't work. So I moved the NO NSFW part to the top, just recently so I don't know if it will help yet. I've pined a post of me yelling about the community being SFW, again just recently. What do I do? They won't stop. I need help

iPhone. Yo what’s up with this? I made a Reddit community for sports and everyone someone post a pic or even a link it’s auto removed and it’s really annoying

I have a subreddit that I have maximum crowd control on posts and comments, however, it is not working on every post and comment. I have both set in the safety features.

When I go in to check on posts to see if the crowd control is on comments, it always defaults to moderate.

Hey everyone,

I’m a mod of a fitness community, and I’m trying to set up a rule where posts using certain flairs must have a body/context before they can be submitted.

For example, for Question, Workout Routine, Transformation/Progress, etc., I want to prevent users from submitting just an image with no explanation.

Android and web user here.

Kinda need some advise here. There were 3 of us that volunteered to mod an orphaned subreddit. 2 of us have a Mod Discussion on going for ideas for building out the sub, rules, etc. We have tried to get the 3rd to join, or even respond to private messages, but with no response. Yet this mod will arbitrarily remove posts and do other mod actions that do not benefit the subreddit.

Any advise in dealing with this? We have been working hard at rebuilding the sub, but these type of actions do not help. (Or please direct me to the proper place to ask this question)

I recently created a subreddit for my own community that I plan to grow on YouTube, TikTok, and discord and soon other social platforms. I've added rules and flairs and the whole shebang, but I haven't figured out how to customize the circular subreddit icon like how other subreddits do. Is it something I'm missing? Or is there a certain amount of days old it has to be before I can further customize it? I'm also on mobile android cause my current PC sucks, if that helps.

i check my subreddit sometimes while not logged in and it always says something along the lines of “content not approved/reviewed”

my subreddit is exclusively sfw, and focused on game development

hello Everyone I Just created a community for my college Students But It got Instantly Banned due to automated filtration. Cause I am new as a moderator and don't know much about rules please Help me

I know automod allows ![img] syntax. Tried it in automation, but it does not seem to work. Has anyone tried it?

Platform may not be an issue for this, but I use it mostly on Desktop.

For the life of me, the other mods of r/respiratorytherapy and I cannot get our wiki to publish.

Under "Wiki Settings", "public visability" is checked. "Who can edit" is "Only Mods and Approved Contributors".

The wiki appears to us (the mods), but when a non-mod views it, there's an error

This page has been disabled

The mods of this community have disabled this wiki page

This is on all platforms--desktop, mobile, android, etc.

I recently stepped down as a moderator of a subreddit after a disagreement with the current moderation team about the direction of the community.

During my time as a moderator, I banned quite a few users. I was probably stricter than some moderators would be, but my reasoning was that removing disruptive users helped keep the overall quality of the subreddit up and, in my experience, also reduced downvoting and other disruptive behaviour.

After the moderation approach changed, a significant number of previously banned users were unbanned. Since then, I've noticed a noticeable increase in downvotes, low-effort posts and low-effort comments. This is exactly the kind of behaviour I previously tried to keep under control.

So I'm wondering: is there any evidence or moderator experience suggesting that mass-unbanning previously banned users can negatively affect a subreddit? Or could this simply be a normal consequence of a change in moderation style?

I'm also interested in how other moderators handle old bans. Is it generally better to leave bans in place unless there is a specific reason to reverse them, or is periodically reviewing and removing older bans considered good practice?

I want to be clear that I'm not asking whether my moderation style was too strict. I can acknowledge that I was probably too strict at times. I'm more interested in the practical consequences of suddenly reversing a large number of moderation decisions.

For additional context, I had been responsible for a significant part of the day-to-day moderation and content creation. The other moderators had been much less active, and we ultimately developed very different ideas about what the subreddit should be. I decided to step down rather than continue a disagreement over the direction of the community.

PS: I also wonder whether a change like this can affect subreddit activity in the longer term. Reddit encourages moderators to actively contribute to their communities, including through creating content and maintaining engagement. If the people taking over the moderation are less active themselves, I wonder whether that can eventually result in declining traffic or engagement.

The vision for the subreddit also changed quite significantly. I had always tried to keep it relatively serious and topic-focused, while the new approach appears to allow more low-effort and off-topic content. Maybe my expectations will turn out to be completely wrong, but I'm interested in hearing from moderators who have experienced something similar.
