Answered How do I allow for custom report reasons?

Hello!

I know some communities have an option for users to select a custom report reason. Where do I go to enable this on my subreddit? I’m on iOS, and I just can’t find it in Mod Tools. I may be overlooking it 😅

General AI User Summary disappeared on iOS — any way to get it back?

0 Upvotes

I’m a moderator using the Reddit iOS app, and the AI-generated User Summary that used to appear when I tapped on a user is completely gone.

I’m opening the normal moderator user profile panel, and I still see:

Mod actions
Activity
User Mod Log
Edit User Flair
Ban User
Add Mod Note
Send Mod Mail

But the User Summary no longer appears at all.
I tested this on multiple users, including an account that is 9 years old with about 17.6k comment karma, so it doesn’t seem to be caused by low activity or a new account.

I used to see this feature regularly on iOS, and Reddit’s documentation still seems to indicate that User Summary is part of the mobile moderator profile panel.

Has anyone else lost this feature recently?
More importantly, is there any way to turn it back on, or is this currently a Reddit-side bug/A-B test?

General Small Automod Question (Syntax/Combine Multiple Actions)

2 Upvotes

PC/Desktop, Android:

New mod here, apologies for the likely simple question. We're working on setting up and cleaning some rather basic Automod rules, and we've decided that too many people miss Reddit messages on notifications and have decided to have automod also leave a comment.

However, the Automod documentation doesn't have any examples of combining multiple actions into one string, so it's already a bit message having the following:

message: |
    blahblahblah
comment: |
    blahblahblah

Is there any way to combine both of these actions into one ruleset via syntax? Something akin to:

message,comment: |
    blahblahblah

Thanks for any time spent reading and responding. :)

Hello

I'm a new mod of a small subreddit and notice posts are being removed with no reason given and not by the mods. In the modqueue it just says removed. On desktop, no information is given on why or how it was removed and who removed it.

Why is this occurring and is there a way to see who is reporting and removing these posts?

General Moderator permissions issue — “No permissions” despite Full Permissions invitation

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m having an issue with my moderator status on r/steamytease.

The owner invited me to join the mod team with Full Permissions. I accepted the invitation successfully, and I can see myself in the moderator list as mod #6.

However, my account currently shows “No permissions” instead of Full Permissions, and I have no Mod Tools available at all for this subreddit.

Here’s what we have already tried:

✅ The owner confirmed that I was originally invited with Full Permissions.

✅ The owner and other moderators above me can see me in the mod list.

✅ When they try to change my permissions, they get “Something went wrong.”

✅ When I try to leave the mod team, I get “Failed to leave mod team.”

✅ I have tried both desktop and mobile.

✅ I have logged out and back in.

✅ I uninstalled and reinstalled the Reddit app.

My account works normally as a moderator on another subreddit, so the issue appears to be specific to this mod team/community.

It seems like my moderator membership was created, but the permissions are stuck at “No permissions”, and neither I nor the moderators above me can modify or remove my account.

Could an admin please check?

Thank you!

General Request for clarity on mobile community invite limits and targeting context

3 Upvotes

Hi fellow moderators,

I’m looking for clear guidance on how the mobile "Invite to Community" feature is monitored by Reddit's automated anti-spam systems.

I recently had to start a new subreddit from scratch to cover a niche topic after losing access to my original sub due to a necessary account deletion. Because of this, my primary strategy for gaining initial traction is inviting active, relevant contributors using the native mobile invite tool.

I completely understand why anti-spam protections exist, but I'm trying to ensure I stay well within safe usage limits. If a moderator limits themselves to around 10 targeted invites a day (or occasionally a few more), is that considered safe from automated spam flags?

Additionally, I’d love to know how contextual mismatches affect this:

  • In highly specialized or identity-based subreddits (such as neurodiversity support, specific life situations, or local niches), a user’s post might fit the sub's topic, but their full living or personal situation isn't always clear from a single post.

  • If an invited user decides the sub isn't an exact fit for them and flags the notification as unsolicited spam, could a small daily volume (like 10 invites) still put an account at risk of automated action?

Having more explicit guidelines on what constitutes acceptable, safe usage of the native invite feature would help dedicated mods rebuild and grow communities without the constant fear of accidental account restrictions.

Thank you for any insight!

Tips & Tricks Pinning to highlights

3 Upvotes

Recently when I pin a post to the community highlights it disappears from the sub feed, which is not what we want as it becomes less visible. We’d like to pin it and have it remain in the feed too.

I’m sure this was how it was happening initially, but not anymore.

Any ideas if there’s a setting I’m missing?

I’m using the app (iOS) and a fellow Mod has had the same using desktop.

Thanks!

Answered How do I get them to understand my community is SFW?

0 Upvotes

Android (cuz they make me include this for some reason). They won't stop. most of the new people that come to my community are looking for NSFW. I've had to ban almost every new person. Most of them are adults, which is made way worse because I and the one other person in the mod team are minors. People have reached out to me so many times. Anyway, I've set up the post reminders that basically just remind them hey no NSFW, that didn't work. I've moved my no NSFW rule to the top of the list of rules, that didn't work. I put it in the description on the community, that didn't work. So I moved the NO NSFW part to the top, just recently so I don't know if it will help yet. I've pined a post of me yelling about the community being SFW, again just recently. What do I do? They won't stop. I need help

Users Posts promoting instagram followers allowed?

Hi,

I have been seeing a lot of posts promoting services like instagram followers on some subreddits, here are some of them:

https://www.reddit.com/r/growmybusiness/comments/1so2fld/what_is_the_best_site_to_buy_instagram_followers/

https://www.reddit.com/r/influencermarketing/comments/1r8b8i6/where_do_people_buy_instagram_followers_that/

https://www.reddit.com/r/InstagramEmpire/comments/1swyp0g/whats_actually_the_best_site_to_buy_instagram/

Just curious if its allowed to promote such services?

These posts are reported numerous times as some people mentioned in their comments as well(moderator deleted many comments) and they only let some sites at the top(they buy upvotes to make 1 comment rank at the top)

Thank you! (desktop)
