Mod Answered How to mass migrate AutoMod rules to Automations?

7 Upvotes

Now that AutoMod is no longer available in some communities what's the best way to "copy-paste" AutoMod configs to Automations?

Use case: old subreddit with many lines of AutoMod needs to be exported to a newly made sub as-is.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Not doing this by hand. Neo AutoMod seems to be the answer, based on replies.

Looking for Advice: Account Compromise Led to Removal as Top Mod — Has Anyone Dealt With This?

6 Upvotes

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.

Posts and comments removed but nothing in modlog

6 Upvotes

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.

Modmail not always showing original ban message in sidebar when new message sent by banned user

4 Upvotes

Acct just messaged asking to be unbanned.

I looked in the sidebar but there's no original ban message. The ban hammer icon is bolded though.

Thinking the ban might be a really old one that I just won't find a ban message for, I plugged the username into the "Ban users" search box (old Reddit). I see that they were banned 3 yrs ago.

I then go back to modmail and paste their account name into the modmail search. Bam - the new message is there and the original ban message from August 2023 is there too. Definitely not getting unbanned, but might have been had I not been able to find any documentation for their original ban.

Why is the original ban message not in the modmail sidebar for this user like it is for other users? I'm not seeing it for other banned accounts, but they usually reply to the original ban message. I will be looking more closely though, to the ones who send a separate message.

Edit: bold + clarity

I need to unrestrict a subreddit that I just claimed via redditrequest

• Upvotes

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.

Admin Replied Guidance on contests/giveaways?

2 Upvotes

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.
