toolbox for reddit

Reddit's moderator tools are very spartan and sometimes cumbersome to use (Although recently progress has been made for the better). Toolbox is a browser extension that adds a ton of much needed features and functionality to reddit for moderators. Over the past three years of toolbox development 8,000 mods have installed it and use it in their daily modding activities.

I suck for asking this but how do I clear out the unmoderated queue easily?

See title. I have cleared out the reports but is there an easy way to just auto-approve or auto-remove all unmoderated posts? I'm a newer mod to a sub and I've got it to a point that if it auto-removes, whatever, but I am having a hard time with this.

Toolbox is looking for beta testers!

Hey mods,

I've been working on a lot of big internal changes for the eventual v7 release of Toolbox, and I'm now starting to publish beta builds for testing. We had a beta-testing system a while ago, but I've recently redone a bunch of our build infrastructure to support publishing releases to separate stable and beta channels to let me get big new features and changes tested faster.

Please note that these beta builds are expected to be broken some of the time! Do not go and tell your entire team to install the beta version immediately! I'm working on a lot of big internal changes which impact a very large surface area, and I don't have the capacity to test everything myself since I'm not really an active moderator anymore, so using the beta release is very much you volunteering to help do my validation and debugging work for me.

Also, since I'm hopefully going to be changing stuff fast, I'm asking that beta users be on Discord and willing to keep up with the beta support channel in the Toolbox Discord server. This might change in the future, I'm really not a huge fan of locking information behind Discord servers, but for now this is going to be the easiest way to work with you all to get issues dealt with quickly. If you're interested in helping out, hop in our server and you can find all the relevant info in the beta support channel.

Thanks as always for your support of Toolbox!

I'm no longer leaving a usernote when I issue a ban and I don't understand why

Edit: this is a feature of /u/ModToolBot not /r/toolbox

I'm pretty sure it's a setting I have changed somehow, but I don't know where to find that setting. Can anyone help? It's frustrating to not be able to look up whether a user has been banned before :(

This is what used to happen when I banned people: https://i.imgur.com/JfjjxhY.png

Unable to get removal reasons to show up (desktop)

I set up toolbox removal reasons on a subreddit I mod, but when I remove a post, the removal reason popup doesn't show up. After the post has been removed, I try clicking the "Add removal reason" link, but nothing happens.

Any suggestions trouble shooting this?

The user note text spills over and covers other text in new modmail

  • Toolbox version: 6.1.10
  • Browser: Firefox 122.0.1 (64-bit)
  • OS: Windows 10.

On new reddit, when a user has a note, it spills over onto other text.

Toolbox isn't loading for me anymore on W10 desktop Chrome.

The extension is installed, permission granted for reddit.com... but the toolbox doesn't load on old or on new reddit. It was working a few days ago, haven't changed anything in my setup. Anybody know why it seems to have broken?

[Feature Request] Sending Macros as /u/Subreddit-ModTeam Accounts

It's not hard to work around this by just using a removal reason with a custom textbox to send the message instead (and approving the post afterwards if removing it isn't desired) but it would be nice to be able to send mod macros as /u/Subreddit-ModTeam accounts directly.

Compatibility with the "new new" Reddit?

When the site design recently shifted the tool buttons all disappeared. Is this known? Are there any plans to adapt to new new Reddit?

Getting error when adding user note: "Save failed: {"reason": "CONTENT_LENGTH_ERROR", "max_length": 1048576, "message": "Forbidden"}"

edit: It turns out that the sub's Wiki storage space for Toolbox User Notes is limited to 1MB and we reached that. Deleting a lot of old user notes fixed the error.


This started today (2/13/2024). The error is in a small window pop up after typing a note and clicking Save, but the user note is actually saved and displays properly later or on page refresh. Anyone else seeing this, or any advice?

Save failed: {"reason": "CONTENT_LENGTH_ERROR", "max_length": 1048576, "message": "Forbidden"}

Trying to access the mod queue from the toolbox bottom bar, pops up a new window with the vanilla mod queue instead of the old reddit style hover window.

A bit of a poor description I know (sorry). But basically in the past when I was in new reddit and I clicked on the icon in the toolbox to open that hover mod queue window, it would open fine and show me the mod queue with the old reddit style that was easy to use.

Now it seems like glitched because it open the hover window and it shows the vanilla mod queue (in negative colors), then pops me to a new page that is just the vanilla mod queue.

The only way to get to the same screen I used to mod is if I'm already in old reddit, but even then the hover window no longer works either. It's strange because I don't recall updating or touching anything, so this might be reddit's issue.

Does removal reasons on old reddit require subreddit wiki enabled?

Trying to diagnose why my removal reasons aren't being saved. When I remove something no prompt is given to add a removal reason, and when I go back to the "edit my removal reasons" tab my previous ones aren't saved.

I see that the reasons are saved in the subreddit wiki, if I have the wiki disabled could that be interfering with it?

New Reddit Comment Context URL improperly read on native mod notes!

When using the Beta mode, and opening a note in the NN (new notes?) tool, and clicking the context link, it is improperly formatting the URL created after that page has been refreshed.

The same usernote does function fully when opened on native tools.

Disable Toolbox mod of AutoMod config window, and where's the "select all" button?

  1. The Toolbox font/appearance mod doesn't work for me (regardless of color scheme - I just want the old one back), and for some reason, it doesn't load the entire AutoMod config file - just the first 2/3 of it or so. How can I opt out of this, or shut it off in Toolbox? Or can I at all without disabling Toolbox altogether?

  2. I recently took over a sub that had been used for SnapChat scams. I am locking the sub and directing people to the appropriate places for SnapChat help, and I want to remove all previous posts. Most of them involved scammers. Where's the "select all" box or button? I'm using old Reddit on Firefox, if it matters.

Thanks!

Clicking the "unmoderated" button on the toolbox toolbar brings me to the correct page, but it is bringing me to new reddit rather than old reddit.

See image here - the far right icon: https://i.imgur.com/xgHdq6g.png

When clicking this button it brings me to the list of unmoderated posts for subreddits that I am a moderator of. I've never had any issues with this, but as of a few hours ago it keeps bringing me to the new reddit layout for the page instead of the old one.

The url it sends me to is: https://www.reddit.com/r/mod/about/unmoderated

This is the correct url, but my preferences on reddit are set to use old reddit, not new reddit. I've never had this issue with toolbox before, and it only seems to be happening when clicking this specific button.

can't get toolbox to load

i've triple-checked and the extension is definitely on, but none of the tools load. i have no bar at the bottom of the screen, no collapsed arrow to access toolbox settings, no mod buttons in modmail or comment threads... i'm pretty sure i have it updated and i've switched it off, reloaded reddit, switched it back on and reloaded reddit again and that didn't bring it back. what can i do to get toolbox back?

edit: i checked on my phone and it still works on kiwi browser, did something change to make it no longer compatible with chrome? my laptop's running Version 109.0.5414.168

Personal mail inbox goes to "all" instead of "unread"

I recently installed Toolbox to help with my modding, but I've noticed a small issue when it comes to my personal reddit use with the extension installed. When I have Toolbox installed, my personal mail inbox goes to "all" instead of "unread". This is quite annoying - is there any way to turn this off?

Mod log matrix only loads one month of logs

Same as title says, I don't know if it has changed since I've only used this feature almost a year ago but when I choose a timeframe it only gives me the logs for the past month not a full year as an example.

Removal Reasons list limit?

One of my subs has quite a long list of removal reasons, and it appears that toolbox cuts off the list at 13. Does anyone know if there's a way to overcome this limitation?

What are your 'User Notes' categories?

I am currently using some types I read somewhere on Reddit, probably from a post from here.

  • Good Contributor
  • Spam
  • Controversial
  • Watch List
  • Civility Warning
  • Repost
  • Mod Action Taken
  • Personal Info

I find, that Watch List is a bit overloaded with different kinds of rules; Civility Warning is kinda redundant since controversial stuff gets removed or gets a warning anyway.

Can you recommend a system?
What do you think can have good value in the long-term?
