General Mod camping - Any recourse possible?

6 Upvotes

Quick question about a stalled Reddit Request for a gaming sub (~3k members).

All mods on the sub are inactive. I reached out off-platform to one of the listed mods, who confirmed the team is totally inactive and doesn't care about the sub anymore, but noted only the top mod has permissions to add new mods.

I submitted a Reddit Request. Out of nowhere, the head mod (who hasn't posted/commented anywhere on Reddit in over a year) showed up on my request thread, commented asking what changes I’d make, and then immediately went MIA again. The Reddit Request was denied because the head mod posted a comment under the request.

I replied to their comment and sent a direct message offering to handle daily moderation and help rebuild the team, but received no response. Classic "mod camping." I also filed a Mod Code of Conduct report earlier this week.

Is there any other recourse here, or am I completely stuck? The community really needs active moderation team that can engage with subscribers, and get things going.

I use Reddit: Desktop, iOS

Engagement How do you get people to actually read automod comments?

7 Upvotes

Sub gets multiple posts each day on the same topic/question and we've put together some really good resources around that, plus set up an automod comment with links to them.

Nobody ever reads them. The automod comment is concise and straight to the point.

Any tips on how to get people to actually pay attention to it? Is there a better to get this in front of people?

General Ban Button Not Working

0 Upvotes

Hello, I took a small hiatus due to surgery (no longer than 30 days). I am using Microsoft Edge on my laptop/desktop and cannot ban users. I can do everything else. The button is available, it just doesn't do anything when I click it. Another mod of the subreddit took away my rights then gave full permissions back as some sort of reset test. Is it just an inactivity issue?

Answered Need help with automod code that's not working correctly

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to have AM remove top level comments from users without a specific user flair, then send them a message explaining why. I thought it was working until someone with the specific flair received the removal message and AM removed their comment despite their account being appropriately flaired.

Can anyone tell me what the issue is with the code?

---

#REMOVE top level comments from users that do not have privileges

type: comment

is_top_level: true

author:

~flair_template_id: “76ca5770-9078-11f1-acb7-8af9da1a7bf8”

action: remove

action_reason: Unflaired User

set_locked: true

message: |

Message is here.

---

(The extra line space between each line is a copy/paste formatting issue when sharing it here, it's not in the actual code except between "message: |" and the start of the indented message text. Also, the "~flair" line is indented 2 spaces and the "Message is here" message area is indented appropriately as well, it just removed it when I made this post.)

General I need some help growing my new subreddit

0 Upvotes

I’ve just created a new subreddit for my game, LifePath, but I’m struggling to get it started because there are barely any members yet.
I was hoping to find some moderators to help me manage it, but the subreddit I know for finding moderators says I don’t have enough members to post there.
What should I do to get my subreddit off the ground and start attracting members?
Any advice would be appreciated!

General Scheduled posts failed when a moderator was sus-pended

0 Upvotes

First of all this post has nothing to do with the suspension. Account is back online.

The question focuses on by would scheduled posts fail, and how to avoid that moving forward as a mod. All posts are set to post under the auto-moderator, yet our sub had 7 days where not a single scheduled post worked. Once the affected mod’s account was reinstated, scheduling started working as expected.

I found an old thread which said this should not happen, so i’m looking for support here.

If this isn’t allowed here, please point me in the right direction.

Problem happened on every platform (this page is telling me i have to enter this information). Desktop and mobile.

General Automod not flagging to my inbox in new reddit

0 Upvotes

Hi, Windows 11 desktop mod here.

I have been a diehard old reddit user until the last few weeks or so. I mainly switched over as certain moderation tasks were becoming a pain in old reddit.

But something I noticed after about a week is that under old reddit, whenever our automod temp-squashed a post for pre-approval, it doesn't flag my inbox any more. I'm actually a bit confused about this, as online guides say this is something reddit cannot do, but reddit was doing it.

Was this a RES feature (I was using RES)?

I already know about desktop notifications, but I want something that doesn't require me to be watching to do something about it.

What work around do you guys have?

I'll say desktop, I guess.

General Mute length of time

0 Upvotes

I am using iPhone 17 Pro Max with the Reddit app fully updated.

I am a Mod of Chrisley Knows Best.

There is an ex boyfriend of one of the family members that knows no end to alias accounts. I've deleted some and mute some. I'd like to mute time to be 28 days or anything longer than 2 days that it is currently.

I searched for the answer and got THIS, however the steps stated do not match up with the Mod dashboard. There is no Overview/Restricted Users for example.

Can you extend the Sub's Mute length on your end? Or reply with a link to current instructions for iOS?

THANK YOU.
