I noticed this not just on subs I moderate but other subs too! Was something updated in the backend? Was there an announcement regarding this?
Is there a way to have those who just joined my community not be able to post unless I review it first?
Also, how do I add key words that get flagged to me so I can review before it being posted?
I tried looking but can’t really find what I am looking for
Hey, seems like there may be a bug going on. One of my smaller subs had a user today write in to modmail and show me a screenshot of an app popup telling them that their account was too new to contribute. Specifically, they were told:
To make moderating this community easier, r/[subreddit] only allows people with an established reputation to contribute. Before trying again, here are some ways to grow your reputation.
Come back later
Your account isn't old enough yet. u/[username] is 2mo old.
I don't currently have any automod rules restricting new accounts like this, and I don't have any safety filters (like the reputation filter or crowd control) turned on. The only thing I have is an automod rule on contributor quality, which filters (not removes, I don't want to remove it) anything from someone at Low or below into the queue for me to review as we do get some inappropriate posts.
Has anyone else experienced this or had a user report it? I love that my users are going to get this kind of guidance from reddit, but only if it's accurate! Right now, I have someone who wants to contribute and can't, and that's frustrating for a smaller community like mine.
ive reported about 40 times to reddit admins about this underaged girl posting nudes and they wont do anything. they said the content didnt violate reddit tos
how can i escalate this, especially with the offending subreddits that facilitate this? not sure where else to ask
I accidentally deleted my moderator status. How can I add it back? My community has now become an unmanaged community. If I cannot add my moderator status back, can you help me delete it?
We recently banned a user for continuing to violate not only our group rules but Reddit community guidelines. They have threatened to have our page banned by a relative who is an employees of Reddit. How can I send this exchange to Reddit ?
Hey all,
A while ago I requested and was granted mod status for the unmoderated sub /r/toolcovers, from the sub /r/redditrequest. However, I never actaully recieved the status, and the sub is still listed as unmoderated.
I have tried reaching out to mods there, and submitted a request for help, without hearing back.
Can someone please help figure this out? Thanks!
Even my own posts, I see a check mark that I click which then says "approved".
Must I do this for all posts by everbody?
I started a subreddit a few years ago and admittedly haven't been active lately. I got a notification this morning that I've been removed as mod from my own subreddit.
I would like to continue modding the subreddit. Is there anything I can do to get back control of my subreddit ?
Sta un po’ di gente nel mio sub ma nessuna si unisce ?
the ones without a profile picture are the ones that got b*nned. is this normal? also i censored the word 'b*n' because it wont allow me post if i dont censor it. And again:
It shows up this message when i click on them: https://imgur.com/a/unVjLZC
EDIT: found something interesting. https://imgur.com/a/pDcfUKD looks like i was send a notification 3 years ago about becoming first moderator. looks like i became moderators in this sub 3 years ago, thats weird. im %100 sure that i never joined these subreddits.
These submissions and comments have been either approved or removed, yet they still appear on the unmoderated queue. For some, they disappear after a little bit of time (server catching up maybe?). But some, especially the removed items, can appear there for days and weeks when it clearly says 'removed by Jabberminor'.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this a reddit issue?
We have an alert bot in our subreddit that informs us of Reddit taking action in the subreddit, so far we have received 6 messages saying that Reddit has removed the same post of mine, the post itself is a meme and pretty unremarkable at best, yet every few hours we are getting an alert that the post has been removed by Reddit QA
Reddit is only letting me schedule weekly posts. And it isn't showing me the option to add "daily post" flairs I specially made for that purpose. How can I schedule 2 daily posts?
One is the "set your goals" thread.
One is the "check your progress" thread.
I want them to go live daily, one morning, one evening.
I would also like to the post to be automated enough in such a way, that it mentions that date, and the day number on each post, everytime it gets posted, without me manually having to do it. How can I achieve this, is this possible? Thanks!
How can I do this? Thanks.
Trying to set up a way to stop the amount of hateful rhetoric that we are recording in a community from fake accounts without having to ban 80+ people.
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 got mod in a subreddit and I was wondering how I can enable that I get the mod symbol/icon next to my name, whenever I create a post/comment or as a Flair?
I couldnt anything in the settings which was helpful.
I removed two comments in my subreddit for the same reason and a few minutes later the automod comments showed up in the queue and were just marked as "removed"
No reports showing, nothing in the subs mod log, nothing. I have absolutely no idea what is going on with it. Its literally for a rule that is about not discussing other subreddits (because drama)
I don't understand why it wouldn't at least show up in the mod log if Reddit did the thing where it randomly decides something is bad for some reason
I have a user calling for a public execution in one of the subs I moderate. I did a Reddit report and instantly got a denial that it isn't report worthy.
What do I have to do for things like this to get addressed? Last time I reported a threat like this I got banned for "false reporting" yet threatening to execute someone publicly is acceptable?
I had a mod tool button and a queue in which I accepted or removed textboxes. I must have logged out and am now a visitor or something. All I can do it post. The community otherwise is now "restricted" (not my intended choice). I don't know how to get back in the moderator seat...
Just wondering if there is an option to auto-lock a post if it gets over X number of comments. I thought I saw a setting for that at one point, but I can't find anything.
Hey, do you guys get push notifications or at least the red dot next to the hamburger menu when you have new modmails? I don't get them on my phone (Android), but I do on my desktop with no issues.
Perhaps is there something to tweak in the settings?
Just how do i ban anyone on my own server? Theres no sign about banning or anything like that
Brass tacks: I only care if someone was previously banned in my subreddit.
Does the Ban Evasion Tool only catch those who have been previously banned in my sub?
Or does it also flag users who have a general sitewide suspension on another account?
If someone is skirting a sitewide ban, it's not my business, and admins should handle that on their own.
Also, I've read there are false-positives. What's the best way to determine if that's the case?
Thank you for any help you can give!
They've been trending relatively high all week. It's some of the most blatant comment botting, vote manipulation, dm solicitation scamming I've seen in awhile and it involves thousands of bots operating with impunity. They've been routinely hitting the all/popular (25-100) the past week.
Automoderators are even set to remove any mention of bots by real users reaching the posts via r/all r/popular etc. meanwhile hundreds of ~month old accounts freely spam comments within minutes of a bot post.
I've filed tickets with reddithelp, but wow is this getting brazen.
Why?
I want a way for users to be able to edit the title not just the content within it to be editable is this possible ?
The Insights tab shows that we’ve had 107k views over the last 12 months.
I’ve been keeping a spreadsheet of the number of views on individual posts. That comes to a grand total of over 300k since January 1, 2024.
Why are the numbers so different? Are they measuring different things?
