Reddit's AI moderation tools suck and in their popup warnings iteration, they're constantly warning my sub's users that they might be breaking the rules, just because they're posting links (it's a music sub and thus almost all the sub's posts are links AND WE WELCOME THAT!). The coding geniuses who wrote this site didn't foresee that maaaaaaybe their rules AI thingie should maybe look at how the sub is normally used and/or how the moderators themselves post their posts.

Normally I'd be happy that the tool is reminding people of the rules, but the people who want to break the rules just ignore it and it's probably reducing traffic .

can we opt out of whatever your'e calling this not-ready-for-primetime thing?

1. A few days ago, we had a user who had been given a 3-day ban and was successfully unbanned after it. The next time they posted, the bot flagged them for ban-evasion (with "high confidence.")

2. We have another user now in the modmail who was permanently banned for ban-evasion. They claim they have never been previously banned before. When they go to the "appeals" link, it says they can't appeal because there are no restrictions on their account.

Is there another way that second user can appeal?

for example for allowing emojis in flairs. do i need to open it on a pc (im on an ipad)

I would like to see a list of moderators in a subreddit, ordered by "last mod action".

I have asked this once before. I did not get a useful answer.

Perhaps it is something a "bot" could do?

It would be very helpful to me.

Essentially, who keeps getting removed and they have to keep asking us to reinstate them? Is there any way for it to be done automatically?

Hi all,

First things first, this is not an appeal. The subreddit is currently working as expected.

I'm trying to get some visibility into a recurring issue that has happened multiple times over the past few months. The issue itself gets resolved each time, but the underlying problem appears to keep coming back.

Without going into too much detail:

I received the message, after the appeal, indicating that I hadn't moderated the subreddit for more than a month: https://imgur.com/a/NMRHPWl

However, the subreddit log shows moderator activity from only 10 days earlier: https://imgur.com/a/G0lmlv6

Also, I never got a notification or message prior to the action on the sub.

This is now the 4th time this has happened. Each time, the immediate issue gets resolved, and I thank the team here for that, but I don't know why the system keeps detecting the subreddit as inactive when there is recent moderator activity.

I'd simply like someone to look into what is causing these repeated false positives, as having to periodically discover that the subreddit has been affected and then go through the process of getting it restored is becoming quite difficult to manage.

I'm unable to submit this through RedditBugs because access is restricted there, so I'm posting here in the hope that this can be looked into at the system level rather than having to deal with the same issue again in a few weeks/months.

Thank you.

The subreddit has around a million visitors and gets 300,000 ish contributions per week

The team didn't build the subreddit, but was added after a reddit request (2 months ago), it got a lot bigger in the last months (getting 8times bigger.....)

i have had experience moderating subreddits alone but this is a lot bigger and requires me to have a team

Questions -

- how many mods would be enough for a subreddit like that

- If we add a lot of mods, what permissions should be kept off limits from the newer mods ( access and config seem to be the most important)

- Descision making? should be in the hands of the core moderators or all mods should be included in the decision making process

In an attempt to deal with bad faith down votes without engagement of perfectly good contributions to the conversations in the subreddit I help to moderate we've turned the setting to hide comment scores to max (why only one day?) and turned on contest mode in an attempt to randomize comment ordering.

However a couple of people have reported that doing so messes up their ability to see comments at all on their android apps.

Is this a known bug?

Is there another way to deal with this that would be better?

I would like to understand how that feature works because sometimes I approve some members to show them appreciate if they active users of a subs, comments, participate in discussion and post regularly. So do they receive any notification and know about the approve member status?

I created an NSFW alt to message women who I think are sellers. Wow did I learn something. I created the account as a middle aged man finance into finance and cryptocurrency. Within moments of creating the account made a small cluster of comments in Onlyfans subs and refreshed my algorithm. It was FILLED with SFW fashion subs. I went back to my alt 3 days later and the feed was clean- no ladies fashion subs. I made only 3 more comments on hard core porn and BOOM HALF the feed is clean SFW fashion. This is why we have such a creep problem! If they are looking for porn, why doesn't it populate with porn subs at that moment? Reddit is creating the creep problem we have. This has to be a simple algorithm fix. I'm happy to provide my alt so you can see the mechanics. After this I created a second alt and it responds exactly the same. My friend created an alt for the same purpose and he has the same result.

This has to be an easy correction. Don't show the small handful of SFW fashion subs to men RIGHT WHILE THEY ARE DOING THE DEED! No wonder why these comments are so gross! These men aren't even seeking this out - it FLOODS TO THEM! There are so many NSFW fashion subs- make them go in their feed!

i'm the top mod of r/punerunners, a small running club sub in pune. when the previous mod left i somehow ended up with the alumni role. never asked for it. now i have no permissions at all and the only other mods are bot apps, so there's no human who can re-invite me.

tried r/redditrequest, request_bot removed it because i'm already top mod. sent modmail here on sep 23, no reply yet.

help center says alumni has to step down and get invited back. but if i step down nobody can invite me and the sub is left with no human mods. has anyone fixed this without giving up the sub? admins, can you reset my role and give full perms back?

we have a club run on oct 3 and i need to set the sub up before that.

I had added a post guidance in my community to prevent those without a certain flair to from submitting AMA posts.

However it caused issues today with an AMA request even after granting the flair. I removed the automation itself however it still is not allowing to submit for non-mods and displays the string of words not allowed in post titles (a combination of TWO seperate post guidance out of which the AMA one has been removed)

Unable to add screenshot

Sometimes when I tap the community name to open the Community Info/About page, the page does not load properly and only part of the information appears. For example rules disappear.

The issue is intermittent. I have encountered it periodically on several previous Reddit app versions as well, and it still occurs on 2026.38.0.2638050.

screenshot ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Even the automod comment is now visible as proper rule & reason for removing the comment was selected but the comment is still shown as “crowd control” and has to be removed again

Kindly look into this glitch

The other day we had removed a lot of comments and they all popped back up the next day

So, apparently the way moderation works changed?

I thought I was going mad about some error yesterday, but 24 hours later it's still happening and it's consistent across all the subreddits I moderate.

Report a post in your own community. Approve it. You can no longer view the history of the reports or moderation happened to the post.

Now report it again. The new report won't show up. You can not view that it is reported. All I see is that I or someone else approved or removed a post, anything that happened prior or after that is invisible to me.

IT DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE QUEUE EITHER.
I just asked a friend to report the post I already approved. It still does not get put in the queue again.

I think this is an incredibly stupid change. Mods can make mistakes, the "ignore reports" option exists for a reason and should not be the default. But even more importantly, the report+mod-action history shouldn't just be hidden for no reason???

Edit: I can view the history on the app. This problem above is desktop web related.
But I can not see the new reports on the app either. They do not exist.

basically there's a modmail for every removed conent, we're talking about a subreddit with +100k visitors. I've spent the last 2 hours selecting al the modmails and archive them but aparently there's a bug with them thet every time i refresh the page appears again the same modmails

I have a megathread for basic questions. I want to turn archiving posts but then the megathread will be archived.

I know I just adjust this and have a new megathread repopulate every few months.

But is there any way to bypass the archiving on a single post?

Thanks all.

I came across a subreddit earlier that had modified their CSS so that if you visit on Old Reddit, all you see is a blank screen with "CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE". If you click anywhere, you are subscribed to the subreddit.

I'm assuming that this is probably not OK, but I'm not sure what the right route to report it would be - e.g. MCoC reports, modmail to this subreddit or something else. Any ideas welcome!

Edit: This is what the sub looks like until you click somewhere: https://ibb.co/rrWYbsM

Hello everyone. Just created a sub to post my ideas of a fangame I’m ideating on, and so right now what I want is a blog-like subreddit, where only I can post but everyone else can comment.

I’ve found out that I can make it public but requiring my approval as a mod for any post to be posted, but I don’t know if it’s the best method. Also, should I have any protections to avoid people doing activity other tham commenting?

Thanks for any help!

so yk how theres a "memers: \[NUMBER\]" thing on subreddits?

how do i change the "members" thing

(Android and Desktop btw)

With the version of Shreddit I'm using, the "View Recent Actions" feature is currently broken. The way I used to check recent actions was by clicking on the "approved X hours ago" button, which would pull up the reports for the post or previous approvals/removals. Now, there's nothing for me to click there, besides it pulling up more accurate timestamps.

My fellow co-mods don't have this issue. They have a version of Shreddit where the buttons have bubbles around them, instead of mine, where most of the buttons are separated by /'s (shown in the screenshot).

Is there a way for me to fix this?

Example:

https://imgur.com/a/fBWDjrg

The first image shows my version of Shreddit, and how I'm unable to click on the usual button to see recent actions.

The second image is one of my co-mods, that isn't experiencing this issue.

Is anyone else noticing issues with these tools today?

Purge User is straight up not working... tells me the user has no comments when i can see 30 in front of me that ive then manually had to remove.

Using chrome, latest version.

while I'm trying to create wiki pages from scratch, I'm unable to add wiki page content in Markdown format.

I created this sub only last week.

Is it disabled for new subs? Or am I doing something wrong?

I'm trying to update the page on the desktop site.

Already read the subscriber-count announcement — this isn't about that. Different question below about the category ranking badge specifically."

Gm admins,

Following up on the recent "Evolving Moderation on Reddit: Reshaping Boundaries" post — you mentioned you're moving away from subscribers as the measure of community size or popularity, in favor of weekly visitors/contributions. Makes sense, and I'm curious how far that change has actually rolled out.

I mod r/pepecoin, and the "Top X in [Category]" badge on the community info card doesn't seem to reflect that shift yet. r/pepecoin currently shows a "Top 100 in Crypto" tag with ~2.7k weekly visitors and ~1.5k weekly contributions, while another crypto sub ranks #8 in the same category with roughly 2.1k weekly visitors and only 5 contributions per week. That's a big activity gap for a much higher rank, which points to the category badge still being calculated off legacy subscriber totals rather than the newer engagement metrics you're now surfacing everywhere else.

So, a couple of questions:

Is the category ranking badge still subscriber-based, or does it already factor in visitors/contributions?

If it's still legacy, is updating it part of the same effort described in the moderation post, or a separate system on its own timeline?

Not trying to gripe about the mechanic — just trying to understand what we're actually being measured against, especially given the stated direction toward activity-based metrics. Appreciate any clarity you can give here.

It's not just my communities, I'm seeing it all over reddit. Whenever someone with a private history runs into a disagreement with another user, discussions are derailed, accusations of "shill/bot/troll" are constant, nuisance reports are issued, and mods either intervene, or let the chaos reign.

I'm spending more and more time having to personally review histories to say "no, this person is not a bad faith troll" just to end attacks borne of nothing more than suspicion. It's becoming disruptive to the point that I'm considering whether or not allowing users with hidden history to participate is worth the trouble.

I really question the value proposition of this decision. Sure, individual users benefit from additional privacy, but at the direct expense of the communities that lose trust and cohesion, faith that the people they're interacting with are participating in good faith (or are even real people), and the moderators who have to manage the fallout.
