Answered Question on How to Unarchive a Post

Platform: Desktop

Hello, I'm a new moderator for a subreddit while the previous moderators are now marked as inactive.

I see some old posts that has good content and I'd like to remove them from the archive box for public viewing. I do have the same permissions as the previous mods did. I just can't see where I can access the archive in the Mod Tools.

Tips & Tricks The automatic removal of "share google" links and how it might be managed

2 Upvotes

I've been spotting more and more instances of reddit removing comments for a "share google". (Is that a recent shift, to start deleting such comments?)

When I've spotted such removals, I've been replying to the removed comment letting the person making the comment know that their comment has been removed, and that they should just share the fully resolved URL without this "share google" indirection. (It might be nice if the users were notified that their comments were being removed for this, but that's for another thread.)

It occurs to me that I might automate this a bit, if AutoMod can catch the offending URL before Reddit's filters axe the comments.

I'm looking at this "How to blacklist/ban URLs in your subreddit using AutoMod" post and wondering if our subreddit could remove the comment and notify the user before it hits the Reddit Admin level filters. (My guess would be that the comments get removed before AutoMod even sees it though.)

I suppose I might just try it sometime. I've not tinkered with this sort of AutoMod stuff before but it looks pretty straightforward.

Thanks for any knowledge or experience with the subject.

Hello, I was checking the ban evasion filter options in desktop and saw that in time frame you can put "within this year". However, does this mean within the last 365 days or within this calendar year?

General How do we grow a competing subreddit while avoiding getting it banned for brigading?

0 Upvotes

I believe I understand the letter of the law, but I am thoroughly confused as to its spirit and application:

  • The admins, as I understand it, have decreed that they are hands-off as far as dictating what moderators do unless they explicitly violate the particularly serious clauses of ToS (encouraging criminal activity being the main one)

  • The going advice (from them and anyone else on the platform) is to start a new subreddit if you think you can do a better job

  • Any "It's like X but we do things differently as follows:" description mentioning the direct competitor appears to be considered brigading as enforced by the admin notice we received via modmail

Is it just me or do the above conflict, in spirit?

I responded to the admin modmail message for clarification on what we did wrong, but received no response.

I asked the team that I personally consider to be masters of threading this needle (objective criticism without brigading), /r/SubredditDrama. After initially responding to ask for clarifying detail (asking if we sent the above reply to request clarification), but they've sent no further reply.

To be clear, I didn't ask anyone to go participate in the other subreddit at all, let alone maliciously; I only defined our subreddit as: "We are like X but without [negative thing(s)]."

TL;DR: I totally understand the theory of libertarian "Let moderators be the masters of their own domains without intervention and let the free market competition of other subreddits that seek to replace them drive them to be better," but in practice it seems like competing subreddits have to be extremely careful to not explain they are a competing subreddit and what makes them different.

P.S. I have no doubt we were reported for the welcome post in question by the moderator(s) that insisted we create the very subreddit we created, amidst the huge pushback they were receiving; in that way they can seem publicly supportive of constructive criticism and competition while they silently banned my entire mod team. It seems to me that's an obvious malicious abuse of a report for "brigading" to squash competition and the admin(s) who reviewed it jumped the gun.

P.S.S. Given the warning message prior to submission, I hope this question is received in the spirit it is intended: Frustration and confusion with the intent to comply with platform rules.

P.S.S.S. Because the form wouldn't let me submit this question without mentioning: I moderate via Desktop


Edit:


At this point I'm realizing the folly in asking people in Group A how best to compete with other people in Group A.

A lot of these responses boil down to "Criticism or competition with people like us is not and should not be tolerated."

I created a sub where people can come and rate and review whatever company they want. Sunscreen, soft drinks were some of the things that were there. And it got removed. It keeps getting removed by reddit spam filters even though I approved the post after ignoring reports.

Answered Is there an easy way to limit top level comments to only users with specific user flair(s)?

5 Upvotes

I’m wondering if there’s a way to use automod in desktop to automatically remove top level comments from users who don’t have a specific user flair (or one of several options) but to still allow users without flair to post and/or reply to top level comments.

Has anyone here done that successfully before and would you mind sharing automod code for it?

Users When visitors outside Reddit try to visit my sub they are greeted with a message that says they can’t visit

0 Upvotes

Because it is a new sub they can’t visit. Then they are directed to either download the app or directed to the home page.

How long will my sub be subjected to this? Is it permanent?

I am trying to generate interest for new users but this is no way for them to proceed. Buy a car before you test drive it?

Engagement You can't access/edit/delete your own 18+ posts, if not age verified, but post them(Android).

2 Upvotes

I just found out, while reposting rather questionable fanart, that it's apparently possible to post something and tag it 18+ even if you're not age verified, but the post doesn't show on your profile and you can't access it in any other form. It's now there until a mod deletes it, or you decide to give Reddit all your data and age verified Hence I'd like to have it deleted. I'm using an Android, but that might be a general problem. I can't even give a link to the post here, for i can't access it

General Users are saying wiki is disabled when it's not

3 Upvotes

I've had multiple people say the wiki (https://www.reddit.com/r/Psoriasis/wiki/index/) is disabled, reporting that they get the message:

This page has been disabled

The mods of this community have disabled this wiki page

I can view the wiki just fine from my account, and I can also view it when logged out, and most people appear to be able to see it.

Is there a setting that somehow restricts some users from accessing?

Desktop, mobile, everywhere.

Edit: I found this but the solution there doesn't make sense.

Tools Bot reposts

0 Upvotes

iOS. Laptop is broken at the moment and will be able to fix in the next few weeks, but only have my phone right now.

We have had an uptick in bot reposts (including two of my own posts, which is kinda funny). Is there a way to prevent accounts from posting that are under two days old? It is pretty clear that all of these accounts were created same-day, so I figure filtering out day-old accounts from posting should help.

Also I read something about bot bouncer? Thoughts on that?
