I can't find it in the settings. I never specified NSFW.
My new subreddit r/CaillouSlander (sorry if this is unrelated)
One of the mods in my subreddit deleted their Reddit account but there is still a mod in the list for that user with with name u/[deleted]. I am unable to remove the mod from the list. Everytime I try, I get a dialog saying "something went wrong" and the entry remains on the list. How do I remove the deleted account from the mod list?
How do I post videos in my own sub? I created one but I can't post videos like you can in "normal" subs. How do I fix this? Sorry, Google has nothing for me in the way of answers.
Hey ya'll,
Having some issues with a subreddit I moderate. Recently, wev'e implemented crowd control, which sends all posts posted under two of our flairs to the moderator team for approval. Ever since we implemented this change, some posts that use these flairs do not show up on the subreddit when filtering by flair. This has been an ongoing issue, and only happens for some users. I suspect it has something to do with hiding NSFW profiles, but couldn't tell you for sure. I've already turned off post filtering for NSFW, and tried turning off all post filtering. Could anyone provide some advice?
Since the last mobile update I've had periodic comments about crossposting to my community. Some people seem to be able to and I can from the website, but from the mobile app it says the community doesn't support those types of posts.
As far as I can tell all the settings are correct and I've googled for information on possible fixes with little success.
Suggested sort is not available on sh.reddit (now just the default reddit) and used to be available on new.reddit and old.reddit.
I am a member of a sub Reddit that was at first great- I loved it and it was the first thing I checked every morning. It has turned into something not fun- lots of drama and people just being “mean”. Mean girls in real life. Seriously. The sub was banned for a woman who doxxed HERSELF. on purpose to ban the sub. There’s been numerous new subs made- and the whole group starts reporting and new sub is banned within hours. I started a new one today/ 40 members in 2 hours because that’s how many people wanted away from the drama 2.5 hours in and boom. Banned and I started the sub and got no explanation. I’ve appealed it but I’ve been told that it does no good. This is ridiculous- and unfair. We have moved to discord but the layout is difficult to follow. Any advice is SO appreciated.
I have read that there should be "spam filter" settings somewhere, but I cannot find them among the "Mod Tools". I would like to turn the spam filter off, so that posts are published and I as a mod take them down if there are problems.
I got this post in the review queue today. It’s a 10 month old comment. Any idea why it would pop up now as “subreddit shadowbanned user”? I know Reddit admins shadow ban accounts, but this seems to imply the sub I moderate did it?
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?
I've been trying to deal with a Reddit matter for awhile now and the Admins have not been forthcoming on it. I've asked many questions and I've only received vague replies that have not been helpful. I've begged them for more help in order to resolve this matter and they just don't seem to want to help me resolve it which I find very bizarre. I've reached out to the Mod code of conduct team and they just ignore me now. I've sent three messages recently to the admins here using the "message the mods" button and they've all been ignored.
So where do I turn for help on dealing with a Reddit issue if the Admins and Mod code of conduct team are unwilling to help?
Edit: It is strange that the post and my comments are getting downvotes like people are against me looking for help. Is this "mod support" or "gang up against mods"? I'm just looking for more help and it is strange that people seem to be against that.
I've read about the two hour window on Reddit to avoid vote manipulation. Is there any way to make this last longer?
Hopefully someone can help with this. Thanks!
can someone help me?

Is there a standard set available? If so, how do we add them and make them user selectable?
I mod r/minipc
I accidently set it to private and would like to set it to public
EDIT: Yes, very banned. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/1gmfbvh/comment/lw4yg5u/
---------------
A member of a sub I moderate is trying to send a Temu link (I've checked it, it leads to the correct product as described) and Reddit keeps removing it. I've approved the comment 6 times now and it just keeps getting removed by Reddit for some reason.
Are Temu links just sitewide banned?
EDIT: See screenshot for reference below. There's nothing in the mod logs. Absolutely nothing.
Because I find it very inconvenient that I cant.
I set "banned words for post title" under the sub settings, but have had users complain it was blocking full words, same as in the post as 'ban words from post body'. I tested it, and it does in-fact prevent the post from working because it is picking up a match mid text.
Say you use the word 'hotel' based on my settings, it would block because the 3 letters 'hot' in 'hotel'.
Normally I would use automod, but I figured hey the option is in the sub settings, let's use it - but matching within a string is not quite good.
If I relied on automod, for a simple example if I wanted the word 'hot' to match but ignore hotel or shot, I would say something like \bhot\b - to isolate the word.
Is the banned word setting working as intended? Or is it supposed to treat matches within text that is part of a larger word?
I created minipc a while ago, and accidently set it to private. I've read settings that say to change non existent spam filters... I did see that the type was set to 'private' in the old reddit settings page, but when I tried to change it to public, it told me to change settings in the new mod tools, and of course I can't find anything related to changing it to public.
I am trying to add another calendar to our subreddit but every time I try, I get "Something went wrong while adding a widget."
I followed this tutorial
Any ideas?
I have read many posts in this sub about it including ones about address length, etc and I have seen posts where this was an issue in the past.
I notice that the address doesn't have group in it but I think that might have changed, I dont' know. I don't see any way to change it.
I think this link still works, just like the link to get to the old general customization page on new.reddit.
Does anyone happen to remember what it was? Thanks
Also, can we stop making Reddit communities look less unique? I used to think new.reddit was limiting but sh.reddit is even worse.
I wanna add pride flags as options
