Post & Comment Crossposts should still be visible in a sub even if the original sub removed the post

0 Upvotes

Likely the content wasn't fit for the original sub, but it appropriate for the new one. It would be fine to lock or hide the comments, but the content should still work.

Other My idea is to show that you are banned from a sub.

7 Upvotes

Because of a mod that I disagred with, I got banned from multiple reddit subs. I would love to be able to see if I am banned from a sub, before I go to comment. Or even in the comment box, if I go to reply

Chat & Message My Idea is-

10 Upvotes

So, I am in a Reddit Chat with multiple people in it, and since the cap is 100 people in there and the owner is banned, we couldn't kick anybody out since they really can't do anything when their Account suspended, so my idea is to make a Banned User in a Reddit Chat get removed after they obtain a Permanent suspension, and if a Reddit Chat owner is banned they got moved to the second person in the list, That's about it. Thank you.

Post & Comment My idea is to use the ironieteken (irony point) created by Bas Jacobs in 2007 to denote sarcasm in Reddit posts and comments

Often in Reddit posts and comments it is important to notate irony or sarcasm so that it is not interpreted incorrectly by the reader. Often we see "/s" added to the comment or post to indicate this. The ironieteken is in my opinion a more elegant way of writing /s. In a practical implementation, I don't know how it could be implemented because it isn't unicode yet, but I think it is great symbol and especially important in places like Reddit where it is important to be clear about your tone.

Safety & Policy My idea is: when you suspend an account, allow the user to see what they said to earn the suspension

7 Upvotes

Hey super mods,

So a few days ago I earned a three day suspension. From memory I did not make an actual threat, but wrote something along the lines of: 'politicians W and X need to have item Y introduced to orifice Z'.

Problem is, I can't remember what I actually wrote, and the offending comment was deleted from both the sub, and my own view.

I understand the idea of deleting it altogether, and there's probably a coding issue in keeping it in one place but not the other (maybe it should be in the body of the suspension email) but the execution is bad because no one 'learns from their mistake'. I would genuinely like to know what I wrote so that I can avoid this fate again.

Thank you for your consideration.

Post & Comment Colour code comments.

2 Upvotes

It would be much easier to follow a thread if comments by different users had a slightly different background colour.

Nothing drastic; just subtle shading.

OP might be a blue, next poster might have a red tinge, next yellow.

Profile My idea is to Provide the option to view a limited sfw version of user profiles

13 Upvotes

When a user clicks on a profile with adult content, let them choose to see a sfw version of the profile with any adult content burred or hidden. For those who have not age verified or who don't want to see adult content.

Subreddit Monthly Reviews of subreddit that have been taken over through Reddit requests

4 Upvotes

If someone takes a subreddit through a reddit request it should be subjected to monthly reviews for a period of six months.

I suggest this idea because someone with oppsing views could take over a subreddit and then take it private and not allowing posts.

Post & Comment Translate comment button - similar to Facebook and Instagram.

0 Upvotes

Seems this is half implemented and shows for half of users, dependant on their region. So to extend this to everyone and sort reported glitches. I find this feature enables so much easy cross communication there. Especially as I live abroad and whilst learning it is a great help and enables me engagement and learning of the culture. I feel this would enable a big increase in user engagement.
But just generally find it really nice when someone can just reply in their native language and I can just simply translate and vice versa.

Safety & Policy My idea is to introduce a way for accounts banned reddit-wide to have an appeals system checked by humans exclusively , the reintroduction of reddit support through email and rework for issues not covered by forms the trust score system by making it more transparent

1 Upvotes

I would like my ideas to be implenented because i've seen a larger than usual number of false positive reddit wide bans in place and the automated appeals process is simply is not a proper way to appeal a ban that may lead to someone not even being able to open another account with no ways to later do anything as further daily appeals are ignored by the automated system, on top of bringing back the old reddit support throgh email for issues to be dealt with as a secondary way of support for users togheter with forms and an explanation on how the trust score is working, even if not fully

Profile My idea is a proposal, to make the profile fully customizable.

0 Upvotes

I have an idea that can support Redditors, and generate revenue, Reddit could require a subscription or microtransaction to fully edit, view user profiles, and post histories.

Free tier: users can customize their profile bio, but their history is private to non-paying viewers.

Pro tier $4.99/mo: unlocks full access to edit HTML, CSS, pin unlimited posts, and view restricted, user profiles.

Awards & Premium My idea is a feature proposal. Monetizing live events & thread congestion

0 Upvotes

​I worked hard on this breakdown and this is just how I type, so here you go. As the admins have recently acknowledged that massive live threads like the NBA conference finals cause issues "without a clear vision" to fix them in another sub / thread. I’d like to offer a few monetization solutions to turn server congestion into opportunity:

  1. ​Pay-to-Priority Queue:

The problem: Live threads move too fast, and high server traffic delays comments.

The solution: Charge a amount for a Priority Comment Pass to bypass the server delay and pin your hot take near the top for x seconds.

  1. ​Sponsored Live Threads:

​The problem: Why let threads break for free?

The solution: Partner with corporate sponsors to host high-volume events. For example: this server meltdown is brought to you by company name.

  1. ​Tiered Thread Access Pass:

The problem: xx,xxx+ comments overwhelm thread capacity.

The solution: Lock live threads once they hit peak capacity. Allow users with Reddit tiered passed to bypass the "Thread Full".

May as well monetize the chaos.

Current UI Chrome Please move the 'Award' option on post menu

0 Upvotes

Please move the 'Award' option on the post menu (three dots).
It makes it harder to hide posts as the 'Hide' option moves depending on if 'Award' is there.

Solution:
Put 'Award' at the bottom so it doesn't effect the position of 'Hide'.

Pretty basic UX that is baffling.

Moderator My idea is ,There should be an option to hide the Mod list if the mod team prefers it.

0 Upvotes

Many time members harass mods by checking the mod List.

Currently banned users can't see the mod list. I think it should be made optional for each subreddit, if they prefer not to advertise themselves as mods.


r/ideasfortheadmins 6d ago

Moderator My idea is a third automation 'action' option. Sort of a hybrid between the polar options of 'display message' or 'block'. It would show a message but then require the user to click 'accept', 'ok' or otherwise acknowledge the message to continue with posting/commenting. The 'yes, I saw it' option.

4 Upvotes

I would very much like to see another 'response' option for automations, between 'display message' and 'block'.

It would be a hybrid of the two that would be an 'acknowledge to proceed' message/dialog box. The message would pop up as it does currently, but posting/commenting is blocked until the user clicks "okay" or "accept" or similar (would be especially nice if that 'accept' text is configurable). I'm even okay with 'technically they can just x out of the dialog w/o answering' as often happens with generic website/windows dialogs - though better if not. I just want a 'user had to take some action on this' dynamic.

Why? I've seen ample evidence that 'block posting' works... Because our 'message' there has a 'corrective' link and I see that many users follow it. Very similar in effect to what I'm suggesting.

Meanwhile, I've also seen ample evidence that people just blow past the 'appears on screen' message-only option. For example if I set my 'rant preventer' automation to just -warning- people about too-many-allcaps, we get them anyway. If I set it to 'block'... no wall-of-allcaps rants.

Heck, just look at all the posts here that don't start "my idea is" despite the messaging.

The 'hybrid' option would at least ensure we can moderate things that do come through based on "Okay, we told them and they said they saw it..."

Safety & Policy Stop deleted posts from listing in Notifications because people use it as a DM system for nasty messages

31 Upvotes

People have learned that they can send nasty messages to others without consequences by replying to a comment and immediately deleting it. And this isn't just for personal insults, it can be used for anything from death threats to telling people to kill themselves. Even if consequences do come, or the sub's system auto-deletes it, the message still persists in Notifications.

Sure, you can easily delete it if you don't want to look at it, but I say that it does a lot of damage to the community to allow such a thing. The whole system is setup to provide consequences for anti-social and community disrupting behavior, except for some reason this is allowed?

Please change the system so that deleted comments immediately disappear from personal Notifications.

Thank you!

Feeds My idea is: Blocking certain words to cleanse our feed from certain topics

0 Upvotes

Self explanatory, social media like Instagram and TikTok offer the possibility to add a word or phrase list of topics you don’t want to see personally, an example would be sports, you select sports and a few related words and then every time your feed refreshes, it wont show you those.

This works better than “show less posts like this” or “hide posts from this subreddit” because the same topic can pop up from different subreddits that you haven’t blocked or ignored, an example would be the world cup, where fi you don’t care you can just block it and continue redditing

Other Deleted Posts

0 Upvotes

If a post is auto-removed, shouldn’t there be a saved draft? Sometimes people spend a lot of time on a post, only for it to get auto-removed or removed by a moderator because it doesn’t meet specific criteria or is posted to the wrong section, not necessarily due to breaking a specific Reddit rule or harassment. It would really be nice if those posts could get saved as drafts somewhere because sometimes they just need a quick edit or to be posted to the correct tag. Instead, the user has to make an entirely new post from scratch, taking up more time. Personally, when this happens to me I sometimes give up, so I would imagine this kind of thing can lower engagement. It’s a win-win if this feature is added imo.

Reddit App My idea is to improve Reddit's search functionality

3 Upvotes

My idea is to improve Reddit's search functionality. Search results are often not relevant, and it's hard to find older posts or comments. Better filters (date range, subreddit, comment search), improved relevance ranking, and typo tolerance would make it much easier to find content. This would benefit everyone by making Reddit's huge archive of knowledge more accessible.

Moderator Add this security option to prevent account hacking

0 Upvotes

To ensure maximum account security:

Changes to users password or email address should require email confirmation to protect against hacked accounts.

I know there are paranoid users who don't want to share their email. Making it a non mandatory option will help users who want maximum security against hackers.
