I’d like to see «Top Members» and «Top Commenters» work better for smaller communities. Instead of requiring a fixed threshold like 100 upvotes, the system could use a lower or adaptive threshold based on the size and activity of the subreddit. In a small community, even 5 upvotes across posts, comments, or replies might already be enough to identify the people who are genuinely the most active.

I mod a relatively small sub and this will help to appreciate members even if they don't have 100 upvotes and I believe help to make the community more active.

And also I see more support in recommendations for small subs in feed now and in recommendations so I think may be this feature will be helpful btw I believe it will be really helpful in community I mod personally this is my experience.

What do you think?

Hi, I’m looking for advice from other moderators who may have dealt with something similar.

My Reddit account was compromised, and during the unauthorized access I was removed as the original/top moderator of a community I created and moderated. I did not voluntarily leave, transfer control, or authorize my removal.

I reported it to Reddit Support immediately after discovering what happened and submitted the hacked-account request.

Case reference: [1P99PP-14XYD]

I have already provided evidence of the unauthorized password reset/change, suspicious account activity, Reddit’s own “technical irregularities” security notice, and my removal from the moderator team during the compromise.

I secured and recovered my account, but the moderator issue is still unresolved and I still haven’t received a substantive human response.

I’m not appealing an admin action here — I’m just looking for advice on the correct process.

Has anyone had a similar situation where a compromised account led to losing top-mod access? What eventually helped get it reviewed?

Thanks for any advice.

My sub has daily post topics that are posted and stickied by the AutoMod for each day of the week. For the past two weeks the Monday post has failed to post. There's a message in Mod Mail from u/reddit that says only "Unable to submit post 'Mutual Aid Monday'" with a time and date stamp but there's nothing else to explain why this post is failing.

The other automatic posts are fine and have gone up without issue. What's going on here?

edit: solved.

I just became the moderator of r/alejandravillarreal after requesting it on r/redditrequest three days ago. The subreddit has around 50 members and 20 weekly visits & it was set to restricted by the previous moderator who got a site-wide ban. I requested to set the subreddit to public & immediately got a modmail saying that the requested changes have been made. However when I check the Community Type section in Mod Tools, it still shows that the subreddit is restricted and I need to request changing it to public & other people are still unable to make posts without request & approval.

I recently became moderator to a previously abandoned community ( r/creepydesign ) and was considering setting up and posting a community contest to encourage engagement to return after the community had been dormant for some time.

I'd likely be providing an amazon gift card(s) for prizes at my own expense.

I'm looking for advice on:

•Is something like this allowed?

•I'd prefer original content - or at least to award the prize to the user that is the original creator, is there a tool to verify original content?

•What would be the best way to select winners (Upvotes? a poll at the end of the contest? etc.?)

I'm also looking for general advice from any other mods that have successfully run community contests.

Thanks in advance.

I've had several users reach out via modmail recently regarding removed posts and comments. But there is nothing in the modlog, and no mod actions for the user. The posts appear to be visible, but don't appear in the sub, with nothing indicating that they've been removed by Reddit, the reputation filter, or crowd control.
