How to report someone for making multiple accounts

Someone has been making multiple posts on my sub for months every time I ban them they make a new account using the same fake pictures of a woman who is not the person they’re claiming to be. I use IOS and this is my first time moderating a sub alone. Any way to report or ban their IP?

Delete an old mods post and link to it in our community user guide

Hi lead mod here at r/quittingkratom. An old mod linked a post to a new user guide and I need to remove on of the linked posts in it entirely. The info is controversially dangerous and I want it off the site.

It’s the Wim Hoff Method link and the post it links to. I’ve removed all I can via mod tools but need help to please remove the rest please as the poster was a mod and is gone now.

Post is located at:

https://www.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/comments/7si4ui/the_wim_hof_methodan_awesome_little_set_of/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Need this entirely removed from site. Including the title, I’ve removed the rest.

Also need the link to it on this post removed as well from our new user guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/quittingkratom/comments/149ed1w/read_this_first_if_you_are_new/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I use both the app and desktop and old.Reddit.com to moderate our community.

Thanks.

Desperately need help making this automod

Have tried, but failed.

We really need an automod to remove comments from users with flairs "parent" or none when they comment on posts flaired for ECE Professionals Only. Could anyone help??

Example https://www.reddit.com/r/ECEProfessionals/comments/1h50w6t/parents_showing_up_to_breastfeed/

desktop, mobile, web, etc.

How do I report a sub that turned private?

A user told me to submit a Mod COC report on a sub that was created solely to harass and attack an individual but how can I make that report if I can't share the link to the sub? And when I tried to find the sub in cognito mode, it didn't show up. How do I even submit a Mod COC? I need to report the sub as a whole. Reporting each post and comment does no good.

When I was given the answer to do the MOD COC report, the sub wasn't private. Now it is.

I hope I make sense. And I'm sorry if I'm posting this to the wrong sub. It didn't make sense to post it anywhere else. I'm using android app.

Getting no uniques on average according to insights. Why is nobody seeing the subreddit?

(iOS) It says it has like 500 views, but no uniques. I can guarantee I did not log in 500 times, and I’m pretty sure the one other person didn’t either, so why?

Is it counting views in general or members online?

I made a private subreddit for myself and close co-workers. I'm the only member right now, a mod. I made some posts but they get automatically deleted. I approve them. Refresh the page and they are deleted again. What am I doing wrong?

I turned off all filtering settings in mod settings for the subreddit. I also set myself as approved user. My posts still get automatically deleted from my own subreddit.

I'm out of ideas.

I'm using desktop on chrome.

The subreddit I created isn’t working properly

Title, I’m on iOS.

It’s not showing up unless you type the full subreddit name, and when I post on it, the post isn’t showing up in “new” for a few hours.

This isn’t an issue in the other subreddit I created, and it doesn’t happen with any other subreddits I’m part of.

How do I find mods to replace me?

(Android) I made one of the worst subreddits on this platform and I want some mods that can basically replace me. The sub is at like 13K people and I can't really keep up with the spam. How do I find new mods who will be responsible and keep the sub from being banned for spam and stuff?

for some reason all of the sudden something changed in our system and people started asking us about minimum comment karma?

Android,ios,desktop,etc

the sub i help mod is getting an influx of modmail involving minimum comment karma required to post

i asked the other mods and even the owner of the sub. none of us changed anything so we're all confused why people are getting a message of "minimum comment karma"

To all the experienced mods, how did you exactly grow your subreddit?

Desktop and Android: I've done everything that reddit guides have told me but doesn't seem to do much. Is the answer patience or what because I've seen subreddits grow to 1k people in just a few days while I'm stuck under 10. r/Idea_Suggestions r/GoofyAhhFrames r/MemePoint

Want to disable text posts for users on both mobile and desktop for nonmods

I am using android, and am pretty sure iphone would be the same, but mobile users have to have text posts on for mods to be able to use it.

We are an image-based sub and text posts are only for making announcements/posting updates. Is there any way to disable this for nonmods while still making it possible for mods other than automod?

Comments not showing up in “Unmoderated” section of Queues?

Platform: Reddit app (iOS)

Hi, I moderate a growing community of ~30k people. For various reasons, we get a lot of comments that violate either our rules or those of Reddit.

I’m trying to use the “Unmoderated” filter of the Queues tool (Mod Tools -> Queues; filters: “Unmoderated” & “Comments Only”) to review all new content. It works fine for posts, but not comments. When I select “all content,” only posts show up, and when I select “comments only,” nothing shows up at all.

Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix this? Is this a problem other mods are also having, or does the “Unmoderated” filter show comments like it’s supposed to on other subreddits? Does the tool work properly on desktop & mobile web (i.e. only broken on the iOS app)?

If anyone has a solution or even just answers as to why this is happening/if others are experiencing the same thing, I would hugely appreciate it. TIA!

Image in post not uploading

My posts are saying: "Unable to display image. If this issue persists, try removing and reuploading" when I try and schedule posts. I'm unsure if these posts will actually work when they are posted, but I thought would reach out to you.

P.S. I tried to uppload them again after removing them, nothing works. I'm also using a supported file, so I'm unsure why this is happening.

I'm using desktop.

If an account is blocked by Reddit how can it continue posting replies?

I moderate r/solofemaletravel and there is one spam account that posts AI-generated replies to every post other people make. Most of their replies seem to be automatically removed but some still get through. However, I can’t click on their username to go to their profile as I get a message saying the user has been removed from Reddit. I’ve tried on my iOS iPhone and on desktop. I have been seeing that message for weeks yet the same account is still able to post replies to every post in our subreddit. How can an account that has supposedly been banned/removed from Reddit for a month still post replies to posts made yesterday? Please help!

Tagging user when posting in my sub-reddit

Is it possible to tag a user with a badge or something when he’s posting in my sub-reddit ? Say there is an pollitical spam account commenting, not in an annoying matter, but still spewing lies. I would like to allow this account to post, but each post should be added a flair automatically, like it’s on Facebook, ”Russian sponsored media”.
Alternatively maybe I could use a bot such that each time when this user is posting , the bot should comment with a note. I’m new to modding and I’m looking for the proper solution for this on iOS and web.

Unable to add AMA co-host

Hi,

I’m on iOS trying to add a mayoral candidate from my city as a co-host in an AMA but their name isn’t searchable. Their account is only a few days old.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks.

Also our subreddit hasn’t been reviewed in years since we took over. Is there a way to accelerate this process?

What is the difference between muting and banning a user?

Usually use Android to moderate the server In on, and we haven't had to ban that many people, but I was wondering, what does the mute button do? Is it similar to a ban? In what cases could we use it?

Posts being deleted immediately after posting

I created a new subreddit and tested a post after creation, since then every post was being auto deleted immediately after posting. I turned off safety settings for filtered posts and it seems to work now but I don't necessarily feel okay with an unchecked posting system besides manually. I've heard mods don't always work for specific words, I'm wondering how to remedy this without all content even posts that would not violate anything (math based) would be deleted. I am the only mod so far. currently using an android phone.

Will the UI design and use of 'Base Color' be fixed to work as intended please?

When going into set color schemes for ours sub, we also have the option to set a 'Base Color' to match e.g. the overarching theme/color maybe of the sub banner we also use on top.

Looking at the instructions for setting the Base Color, it is described as: "Shades UI elements like buttons, borders, and the background color". But when I set a color on it like pastel blue, none of those elements actually come across as having changed their color at all. None of the elements' background colors have changed to blue. On the contrary, it is actually now only their foreground text color that has changed to blue. Not at all what I wanted. I wanted the various sub elements, like the widget area we have in the right side margin to have a blue background, while the text should remain black as default. Just as the function is actually described to work. But it doesn't...

I am working on std Windows Desktop PC and using the web browser or the app.
