New Mod, Need Advice!

Hey everyone,

I just got mod access for r/lessporetradersind today, but unfortunately, the sub got banned before I could do anything.

I'm feeling a bit lost right now and would really appreciate any advice on how to deal with this situation. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

How can I add more mods when I'm not the main owner of the subreddit?

So I became a mod of a sub with the one other guy who created the subreddit.

Well .....the dude completely ghosted Reddit, leaving just me and a subreddit of 15k+ people. It's incredibly hard being the only one trying to keep posts to the rules, keep out bots, etc.

Is there anything I can do to, idk, gain more control over the subreddit so I can add more mods? Because I'm drowning over here 😭

I'm using an android btw.

Saved Responses not appearing in Mod Tools

Hello, I moderate two subs and in one I have "Everything" permissions, and in the other I have:

  • Users,
  • Channels,
  • Chat config,
  • Chat operator,
  • Community chat,
  • Config,
  • Flair,
  • Posts & Comments,
  • Wiki.

I am sure I used to be able to see Saved Responses in the second sub; but now I can't! I suppose I could be misremembering...?

In the second sub only the Top Mod has Mod Mail (they have "Everything" permissions) so I don't know if it's related to that or not. I suppose I could play around in a test sub with an alt account to figure it out, but that seems like a bit of a faff. Neither of us could work it out so I figured I would post here to see if someone else can help.

I've looked on Reddit Help at the section on Mod Permissions and Saved Responses but I can't figure out why this isn't visible to me. According to the Reddit Help page I should be able to add and edit Removal Reasons which is now contained within Saved Responses. But the Reddit Help page on Mod Permissions doesn't talk about Saved Responses; they're in a separate section entirely.

Can someone please assist?

I do some of the maintenance of our Rules, Automod and Removal Reasons (before they changed to Saved Responses) but now I can't always complete the necessary action steps to make updates or additions/ changes to any of these.

I use both Desktop (Safari) and iOS and I'm experiencing this issue in both.

Was somehow kicked out from the sub I'm moderating (I'm the only moderator), what happened here?

I was moderating a sub as the sole moderator, and today I realized the sub was just banned "due to being unmoderated." The ban was 8 years days ago. I was travelling and didn't realize I was no longer a mod of that sub.

What really happened here? How do I regain access to the sub?

Enabling the feature to create a Chat room for the subreddit

The sub has been up for a couple of years and has about 35k members. I would greatly appreciate some help with tips or methods for making an official chat room for the sub and the necessary changes I need to make via mod tools to do it via Reddit Desktop. Thank you. r/JEW_C_TUATT

Sub has been a community for 11 years, but there are no posts older than 7 months

I'm trying to gather metrics on usage, topic etc, but all of the history is gone. Is there a way to restore it? Why would those older posts be removed?

What if an old mod rejoins the sub?

Hello, I am currently a mod and about to "take over" a subreddit because the current mod (who is the creator of the sub) wants to get out of the group.

What happens if he rejoins the group? Does he automatically become a mod/most senior mod/owner?

Is there anything I can do about aggressive spam reporting?

In one of the subs I'm modding over the last few days weve been getting hit with excessive reports. But only on content involving trans people. Is there a way to ban the false reporter? Or is it more a just deal with it as it comes situation? I do most of my modding on android if that helps.

Why does pinning an image post to community highlights make it look like a link post?

On another sub I mod for on another account, I posted an image and then later on added it to the highlights. In the subreddit's feed, it changed (visually) into a link post, with the image address as a hyperlink and the image as a little box on the right hand side. I've only ever pinned youtube link posts before, and those always continue to display normally in the feed as an embedded video and not as a link.

Does anyone know why this happens? Is it a bug? I can't find any other posts about it - every time I search, it's always about people who posted an image in a text post. I posted via the "Images & Video" tab, and it looked like a perfectly normal image post before I added it to community highlights, and then reverted back to normal when I unpinned it.

I'm on desktop, using the newest version of reddit. The post looked the same regardless of which account I viewed the subreddit on (and when I was logged out), and looked normal on my mobile browser.

Thanks.

Can mods approve and upload posts after the user has deleted their account ?

Please tell me if mods can approve and upload a post , which was removed after a thousand views , after the user has deleted their account ? ( Android User )

Suppose someone made a post , it got removed , now the user wants to delete their account but is worried that the post ( specifically detailed bodytext ) would remain on reddit . Is it possible for mods to upload posts after that particular user has deleted their account before the approval and reinstating of the said post ?

Reviving old subreddit with 6k members but no posts since 2020

Hi all,

I read here many different posts regarding reviving an old community and recently took over r/Diamond by requesting through r/redditrequest and have a couple of questions. People who have successfully revived dead communities, what methods did you use to achieve this? What suggestions do you have for me in regards to getting new members, getting consistent posts.

My game plan is to post every day on topics within Diamonds to help get old members to engage. An issue I noticed is that when you search r/diamond it wont come up right away (totally understand why because it was inactive for so long that reddit doesnt show it right away and would rather show more active communities). Are there any ways to get this subreddit to be more searchable? I have a feeling the answer is to get the community more active lol but just wanted to double check. Thank you for your time as always!

I want to ban a user, but user account was already suspended some time ago

Hi all, a user continuously breaches the sub's rules, so we want to ban them. However, I don't know how to do it, as apparently the account is suspended:

Account suspended

Reddit has suspended this account. Mod notes and previous actions are preserved, but other data is inaccessible.

How can a suspended account still post? And how can I stop them from posting again?

I have no way of doing so either on IOS or Mobile

Concerned About Copyright Issues in My Subreddit

Hi everyone,

I started a subreddit dedicated to digital jigsaw puzzles, and I’m really enthusiastic about it. However, I’m worried about potential copyright issues since it’s a fan group for digital jigsaw puzzles from various apps and websites. Here are my main concerns:

Posting Frequency and Schedule: I want to post multiple times a day to keep the community engaged, but I’m not sure how to balance this without overwhelming members. Any tips on finding the right frequency?

Themes and content: I enjoy themes like animals, cottages, birds, and flowers. Should I stick to these, or are there other popular themes I should consider?

Written Posts and Questions: I plan to include questions and app reviews in my posts. How often should I post these types of content to keep things interesting?

Copyright Concerns: I’m worried about copyright issues since I’m sharing puzzles from different apps and websites. Should I make a post about copyright to inform the community? Has anyone dealt with similar concerns, and how did you handle it?

Community Engagement: I want to encourage more people to post and understand when to post. As an admin, I want to keep the community active, but I know it requires frequent posting. Any advice on how to manage this effectively?

I understand that it’s my subreddit as told in a comment in previous post and ultimately, I need to decide what works best for me as no one else in the sub can help. However, I’m still trying to figure out the best posting schedule and how to handle copyright concerns. Should I consider removing the subreddit if the copyright issues are too risky?

Thanks for any advice you can provide! 😊

I use iOS

Can I not request subs?

I recently tried to request a subreddit with no moderators but my post just got removed immediately and no automod comment. Waited a while and still no automod comment. I’ve already requested and obtained a few subreddits, and it’s been well over 15 days since my last request, so why is my request just being removed?

Using iOS but that doesn’t seem to be important

18+ NSFW

I recently created a 18 + private community to share adult content with a select few. However, I can't post any adult/mature/18+ content because it tells me that my community does not allow that post type. I've checked all the settings, I've searched high and low, and have not figured it .

Automod help

There is this sub called r/popularclub where if you’ve ever gotten on the top 25 posts of Reddit, it adds you as an approved user. How does one do this using automod ?

Also, the sub is private. I was able to get in because of the of the 25 top post. My second question is can this be done on a public subreddit ? Desktop
