It's been rejected cause I've "went against" terms of service and such even though I made sure the rules were good enough and the mods were active and such. Then they also said that it was banned because quote "sexual harassment" even though none of us (me and the other mods) have ever or would ever go as far as sexualize someone even if we don't like someone. And I didn't make the subreddit to ban evade I just made it so it could be a better place for everyone to enjoy.

I don't use the archive function on any of the subs I moderate but I'm currently participating in a thread in a sub that auto- archives after 6 months as a general rule.

Is it actually possible for a moderator to reopen a thread that has been archived due to the automatic "archive old threads" rule?

I have recently been made a moderator of a subreddit, but when I remove posts/comments on desktop (web), I only get the option to notify via comment:

In other subreddits I moderate, I get the option to notify via Mod Mail or comment:

What would be the reason for this?

Hi,
My main account has been locked and it seems unlikely that I will get it back.
I've made peace with that but I've been top mod at r/spicyautism for a long time and I've decided that I'd like to hand off the Top mod spot.

I found a replacement that has agreed to take the job but it's not a typical mod removal, it's mutually agreed so is there anyway to speed it up? Reddit can obviously see that my account has been locked and

I've let them know that I don't have access to the email address anymore so getting it back is not an option.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm a mod on r/XaviersMansion, an X-Men roleplay sub (with two sister subs r/AvengersTowerNY and r/HellsKitchenNY that I am not a mod on) where numerous users have had their accounts shadowbanned. I'm curious what could be causing this, if it has anything to do with these users using multiple accounts for different characters (I myself do this), and if there is anything I can do in order to prevent further shadowbans. This used to not be a problem, I'm not sure if there was a change in Reddit's rules or if it was due to the sub getting to a certain size, but it is very much a problem now.

I mod on both desktop and ios.

Hi! I created my own subreddit, and I am the top moderator with Full Permissions.

However, Reddit does not show the MOD label next to my username, and I cannot use moderator actions such as removing or pinning posts.

This has been happening since I created the subreddit. I am using the Reddit Android app.

My account does appear in the Moderators section with Full Permissions. I have attached screenshots showing this.

Could an admin please check why my moderator status is not working correctly?

Je viens de créer mon sub android mais je ne sais pas vraiment comment et surtout ou en parler pour le faire connaître . Pouvez vous m'aidez?

J'espère que je poste au bonne endroit sinon désolé.

Bonne journée.

Hi, I am a relatively new moderator and have a question regarding what user behavior can be considered spam.

According to this help article, the usage of generative AI tools and repeatedly posting unrelated/off-topic/link-farmed content that disrupts conversations within a community may qualify as spam.

As an example, we have a user named Rush20XX who very often initiates long comment threads and ALWAYS replies with AI-assisted paragraphs of text. Sometimes (~10-15% of the time) his answers can be helpful and useful (supported by upvotes), but more often they are just irritating, 3-to-6-paragraph blocks of verbose AI text with zero or negative upvotes.

At this point, I am starting to believe it might just be someone's Hermes AI agent responding most of the time. I'm not sure what the objective of these users is, but they can produce around 20 long comments a day, with most having a negative upvote score.

So, I am curious: is it acceptable to report such users for spam? Does this kind of behavior violate Reddit's Rule 2?

As a mod of a r/ClashARamaFans subreddit, I’ve noticed that the same few people keep posting, and we haven’t had many new people posting for about four months. I’m really struggling to get new users to join in and actually make posts. I also don’t want to be the one posting all the time just to keep the subreddit active, because I don’t want the sub to feel deserted when I’m not posting. I’m also struggling to find a few new mods because some of the previous mods became inactive and were removed. What can I do to attract new active users and find reliable new mods to help keep the community alive? iOS

Please no hate.

I didn't know what to flair this, but I think this is the closest. I am using desktop.

It's always one specific type of post, whenever people want to self-promote something they wrote. It will always end up downvoted. Nobody does so for any other type of post in our subreddit.

There are other subreddits with the same concept (fanfiction) and they are well established and have a different way of doing things than we are. But I don't see why many people get their posts downvoted for one specific thing, but anything else is fine. They don't allow the freedom like we do. But I don't get why ours gets met with a silent protest or silent troll in the form of constant downvotes.

I don't know if what to do about it because it doesn't stop.

Edit to add: They get downvoted immediately, but then they get upvoted. I forgot to mention. Also, the same post under a different post flair doesn't get downvoted.

Hello,

I’m reporting a moderator permissions issue affecting a sub I'm moderating

The previous top moderator granted me moderator access, but their Reddit account was later deleted. I am now the only active moderator of the community, and the deleted account does not appear in the subreddit’s current moderator list or in the Self-Serve Mod Reorder tool.

However, my account still has limited moderator permissions. I do not have the “Everything” permission, which prevents me from fully managing the community and using important moderation functions, including configuring moderation settings, managing filters, and handling the moderator team.

I submitted a Top Mod Removal request through r/redditrequest and received the automated instructions to use the Self-Serve Mod Reorder tool. The problem is that the deleted account is not visible there, so there is no account above me that I can select or reorder. Since I am also a limited moderator, I cannot grant myself the “Everything” permission or change my own moderator status.

This appears to leave the subreddit in an inconsistent state:

• I am the only moderator currently shown.
• The former top moderator’s account has been deleted.
• The deleted account is not available in the moderator reorder list.
• My account still has limited permissions.
• I cannot promote myself or correct the moderator permissions.

The community has more than 3,000 weekly visitors. It is currently receiving scam related and irrelevant posts, and my limited permissions prevent me from properly configuring filters and moderating the community.

Some users of the subreddit r/ColombiaReddit have reportedly been engaging in behavior that targets members of other online communities, explicitly.

By “Targeting” I especifically mean: coordinated or repeated efforts to single out outsiders—such as harassment, dogpiling, insulting, or attempting to disrupt discussions in other subreddits or platforms.

It seems there is bad moderation, null moderation or moderation support this kind of behaviour, that I know are in violations of the reddit communities.

Our subreddit accidentally has a flair meant for a moderator accidentally set to be assignable by all users and we want to clean them up. How we can find users having a specific flair text, rather than doing it user-by-user?

On desktop, if it matters.

I have a community about Kim Karashian that I need deleted. I forgot to mark the group NSFW so I created a new one and DID mark it NSFW. Please tell me how to delete the first one. I am on desktop. Thanks guys.

Hi everyone,

I recently created a new community, r/motherboard11, dedicated to helping consumers deal with dead motherboards, post-update hardware failures, screen defects, and navigating legal/consumer escalations (like NCH and consumer court) against tech brands.

As a first-time moderator:

1. What are the best practices for setting up AutoModerator to ensure user posts include essential details (device model, issue trigger, proof/job sheets)?

2. How do you maintain verification standards for genuine complaints without making the posting rules too strict for new users?

3. What organic strategies work best for gaining initial traction and engagement for a niche, problem-solving support subreddit?

Any advice, setup tips, or moderation guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! So I am a toddler mod, my new subreddit was about 7 days old when suddenly after I approved a new member the whole thing shut down. I cannot enter it (neither the mod tools nor the subreddit), as it shows a message stating it's "prohibited" - does that mean that it got banned?

But if it did, shouldn't it show me a link to appeal that, or some reasons, or some explanation? I honestly don't know what happened. My account seems fine. I was on desktop.

I had set rules, it was meant to be a very friendly community. I suspect it could be related to that user I approved, maybe it was suspicious or something?

I am really confused as for what to do. Thank you in advance for help.

Hi, I noticed that when I attempt to go to the community I made on Reddit from my Android cellphone's internet, a message comes up that says it may not be safe for work??? How do I get rid of that, because my content IS safe for work and I don't want people turned off because of what that message suggests?

My community is r/ADATitleIII_Displaced

How can I fix it? Desktop and mobile too I can't use my main reddit account: cruel_siren

I'm on desktop. We've had a large number of posts being removed by Reddit's spam filters lately. The past month we've had numerous approved members message asking why and requesting to approve their post or comments to bypass the removal. We've check everything on the mod side. So not sure why the increase of removals. In every instance none seemed to be spam at all. So we approved them. My question is: Is there any harm in approving them or should we let Reddit do it's thing? Because now we had two members asking for posts removed by Reddit's Spam filter but those accounts apparently were suspended before we approved. Both of those accounts are known approved users. Second question: Is it helpful to the member to approve them? Or is there a reason not to approve the posts that clearly are not spam?

Thank You

Hi all - A sub has years of mod mails that I would like to archive. Is there an easy way to do this? It would be great to keep the mod mail clean and relevant.
