What do you say to shadow banned posters when they ask why their posts aren't showing up? I've had a few recently and I'm always uncertain about how much to tell them.

Desktop, mobile...

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.

I’m curious if we’re allowed to ban users for “trolling”. In once case I have a user that hasn’t broken any particular rules, but I don’t like what they posted and it’s not in the spirit of the community. I didn’t provide them with a warning - yet.

IOS

Our sub has a popular Contributor, let's call her "User A". Also involved is a stranger to the sub, User B. User B posts a lot of image content to both her profile and to other NSFW subs

User A crossposted a profile post of User B into our sub. User B complained in comments and a free-form report, that User A didn't have her consent.

Personally, our gut reaction is that everyone on reddit releases the rights to their content when they hit the Post button. And we should (gently) tell User B to STFU.

We can't find anything in the UA, the Conrent Policy, or the Mod CoC that supports User B directly. Indirectly, of course, there is "Respect the Human".

Thoughts?

iOS. I briefly went inactive because I had lost access to my account temporarily. I added my alt to the mod que from my ‘inactive account’ so I could start it up again. I got a message from a mod saying that they weren’t looking For new mods. Long story short both my accounts got kicked. Where do I go to sort this out? Buddy basically stole my sub

And also how to get more people to join and if you're interested in my subreddit please join r/Wweandsumo

the title says it all

I just made a subreddit as in still working on it and am struggling creating the rules wholecloth. Is it allowed & would it be rude to copy another similat subreddits rules? (Making a few changes to suit my needs)

Are animated subreddit icons still a thing? GIFs are not a supported format and APNGs aren't either.

Desktop, though applies to all platforms, I guess.

There is a similar sub to mine and I am 90 percent sure the mods from that sub joined mine and are reporting all my posts, downvoting, and they even reported ME to crisis for legit no reason.. it was my welcome post 🫠

I know we cannot see our users but how do I get this abuse to stop? They even went as far as to temp b me from the other sub which is fine I don’t care about that one I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just really disheartening on my sub because I want them to stop attacking it.

Is there anything I can do as a mod?! Or if I reach out to Reddit? I’m on mobile web iOs if that matters

The page creator has been privatising and unprivatising the subs over the last few days.

People in the community are reaching out ti me to find out what is going on and I have told them we have requested the pages back from reddit.

Is there anything else we can do in the meantime and help to resolve it.

What I care about, I improve and protect. Cleaning Reddit’s littered parks is thus preferable to playing there. I plan to volunteer by late summer.

In the meantime, I want to learn beyond the basics. Help this aspiring Mod prepare for the hidden world of modding: the mundane challenges, the quirks, and the insanities.

I am fascinated to hear your stories.

Word is that some people like to be the first to post major news/rumours and then "moderate" the comment section by blocking users with undesirable opinions or questions.

I don't think there is, but is there a way to determine whether an OP has someone blocked? On any platform - desktop (old, new, shreddit), mobile... Or a way to prove it for the blocked person? Any workarounds?

I have a rule that users can't advertise malware, even if it's not in our sub. Like if they just make a post to their own profile, that's bannable.

So what's stopping someone from blocking all mods so they can't go to their profile to check if they're breaking this rule? Usually I'll just use an alternative account that doesn't have mod perms to check but I'm still curious.

I guess I should start with - is this allowed? There is a pre-set link to Buy Me A Coffee, one to Venmo and maybe some others on the profile social link portion, but I can't find anything about whether we're okay to do it or not.

Have any of you set up a Buy Me A Coffee or other type of tip service for your subreddit(s) that you mod? Do you just have a link on your profile, or are you mentioning it in your sub? Do you think this is a good idea or just plain stupid? Have you received any tips?

I believe this shows up on both Desktop and Mobile (had to add that so I could post this).

Mobile web - in a sub I moderate it seems you cannot add captions to photos when posting multiple photos as I can see you can do in other subs. Is there a setting for this or am I just missing something? TIA.

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

My sub has a problem with brigading from another sub (their entire MO is to brigade other subs, not just mine). I've already used HiveProtect to block its members from commenting & posting. But that's not the issue. Their users screenshot our content & then report it to Reddit. I'd like to block that sub's members from accessing our sub. Is that possible?

I tried to ban a member of that sub from ours. But since he isn't a member of my sub, he doesn't even display as a user I can block.

desktop

I’m on iOS, so it’s difficult for me to know if I passed it or not, so I need help with requiring it

Because as far as i know the community point is discontinued. ( Android + Windows)

In most welcome messages, there are blue texts which redirect people to links or pages when clicked . I want to know how to create a blue text that redirects people to subreddit rules when it i clicked. I use both iPhone and laptop.

I'm on android I've seen community's on their members.and active be like 1.1m ex wife's 20 still miss me stuff like that wondering how I could do that for my new sub r/ahhhkidsonreddit thanks

I use Android btw. I was testing if the flairs work, but they don't :( It's just not visible when I wanna use it

Hi all-

I’m a new mod of a subreddit based on a podcast. There’s a user who posts harassing and threatening content daily. I ban them/remove their comments and posts, they make a new account, rinse and repeat multiple times every day. They always use the same avatar and are clearly the same person as they also reply to the modmail with similar messages, etc.

How can I get rid of this person for good? I tried “automations” but I don’t see any other way outside of keywords to block them from posting.

There’s gotta be a way to do this that I’m missing as a newbie to moderating a sub.

Thanks everyone for any help here. This person is a bit disruptive and irritating to the mod team.

I’m on iOS and can use desktop (Mac) as well.

I am using my android phone, also this is what i used to create it.
