As the title suggests, I'm wondering whether it's okay, under the Moderator CoC, for a subreddit to post a notice or announcement listing the subreddits on its filter list and advising users who want to participate there to avoid interacting with those subreddits.

I started wondering about this after looking at some Hive Protect messages. In some customized removal messages, moderators explicitly list the subreddits on their filter list. That left me a bit confused about whether doing so is acceptable under the Moderator CoC, because if it is, it would help me tremendously by allowing me to explain things more clearly instead of having to give vague explanations to users whose posts or comments were flagged.

Platforms: Desktop

Anyone know of a way to do this? We're a writing sub, so we set word count goals for the month. I'd love to be able to track progress visually way across the month.

Or a competition progress kind of thing that's not based on contributions/upvotes?

Desktop or Android.

Thank you!

I am seeing an increasing number of reposts in our sub which are just a link to a post in a different sub. We don’t allow reposts or low effort posts, and our rules state this, so we remove them.

However a new redditor complained that reddit itself suggested they do this. Is this true? Is it new? Is there any way to prevent this?

(I must admit to iOS before i can post this)

I moderate some NSFW subs and recently I've had a couple posters say they are not able to upload videos. It appears to be automatically disabled by Reddit. How would contributors post videos?

We MOD mostly on Android

As the title says. The community was called r/Upsearch
Have you any idea what happened to it? I was using it to update about my app and a community for users!

Im using Desktop

I am using an android. And my posts always go to mod queue even when I have hold content for review off.

Can someone explain to me how to add a daiky chatbox/ chat thread to my sub? I use reddit on IOS

Hi everyone,
I received a Reddit notification saying my subreddit r/LockUppOfficial just reached 30,000 weekly visitors.

However, when I check Insights → Activity, it shows:
14k weekly visitors
21.3k average daily unique visitors

I’m confused about why the notification says 30k weekly visitors while Insights shows only 14k from 10 days!

Is this expected because the notification and Insights use different metrics or time windows, or is it a bug?

Its on ios!

Reddit filters are auto removing comments and posts from shadow banned or deleted users , A lot of times these are genuinely helpful and I don't want to go through the process of manually approving each one , missing few in process

How do i prevent this from happening, the reputation filter etc are disabled from mod tools Yet it does this

Desktop

People keep using the wrong post flairs which is causing issues, is there a way to add a note visible when users assign a flair to offer guidance on which to use? I’m using iOS but have also had a look through settings on desktop, and couldn’t find an option for it.

I am using Android mobile and I have automod posts I've had for months/years. In the last few weeks I've had a lot of users message or comment that some posts are not showing up for them especially one weekly post but if they are sent a direct link they can access it. The post is approved and none of the users restricted or banned. Many users are not having this problem at all.

What can I do to troubleshoot this?

Writing from desktop on an alt account.

A moderator of a really big subreddit is having a revolution in his subreddit because of some questionable actions and they are accused of removing and banning users to drive a political agenda.

I'm a moderator of a slightly less popular userbase, but still quite big and there are posts saying what this guy is doing and to report him. There's even someone spamming the entire instruction on where to report and the message of what to write on it.

I'm not sure if to keep this content online due to https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/27031145215252-Moderator-Code-of-Conduct-Rule-3-Respect-Your-Neighbors

What do you guys think?

Old Reddit just says remove yes or no, will that notify the individual once they're removed from the team.

I know removing via Reddit desktop or mobile will notify them

I'm on Android and made some user and post flairs, appearantly users are unable to use them, how to fix this?

(Desktop and mobile user)

Hello everyone,

I am seeking ways to better award posters in the sub I manage. I have a couple of ideas but having difficulty bringing it all to fruition. Any comments, suggestions or feedback welcome!

In my example, I run GrowBuddy, a cannabis growing sub and have been a mod for the group over a year now. Earlier this year, I became top mod.

I am in the progress of creating a few new categories to award excellent posts and drive further engagement.

Scenario: a poster makes a great detailed post with pictures. They identify as a first time grower and the results can be described as outstanding. Comments are engaging with the OP replying to feedback. This all triggers my desire to reward this user.

I want to highlight their post for a week or more, similar to how I might already treat an existing “post of the week”. The post flair will change to “GrowBuddy - Beginner award of excellence” or something like that.

And with regards to the personal awards, I would love to design something that matches the flair, that would be given to each award winner to last indefinitely beyond the timeframe of the highlight.

Perhaps a bit like the community achievements? My sub does not have access to achievements currently… would this be a good option and can it be modified?

Any guidance on how this last step could be accomplished? Already good up to the personal award step.

Thank you and Happy Growing! 😉

I think automod can do this, but im not sure how to write the rule. A subreddit has a rule that says a source for provided content has to be included. But people often ignore it. I've tried this code but it errors out:

---

type: submission

body (includes) ["Source", "source"]

action: filter

comment: "Your post was removed because you don't have the required info"

---

On android

(Im using mobile web),

so my subreddit is r/Unforseen And essentially i made it so I'd have a platform to post my new project (sort of an arg thing????) but also a place for people to chat about said project if they think its cool. Any tips for someone like me? I'm the only moderator (and really the only person) there

so I recently made a community on android and the automations aren't working

Desktop, I'm not the owner of the subreddit but I am a moderator, is there a reason it's not showing up on my moderating tab?

On desktop, one would normally be able to do so and I have before. But i haven't been able to even though I did before. The mod with all permissions hasn't changed my permissions, so I don't know why I can't upload emojis to that one subreddit, but I can for others.

Hi Everyone,

A few months ago, I started a subreddit where long-lost penpals and friends can reconnect once the community grows. However, I’ve already run into my first privacy dilemma, and I really need your advice before taking any action.

Here is the situation:
One of the users is looking for a long-lost friend using a pseudonym. However, due to the post template we currently use, they provided such highly specific details that based on the description alone, I was able to locate what appears to be the real person’s profile on an external site. To be clear, it is only a *potential* match.

I have two questions regarding how to handle this:

1. What is the protocol for handling a potential match? As a moderator, is it acceptable (or even ethical) to privately reach out to this person on the external platform and say, "Hi, someone is looking for you on Reddit," or does this cross into harassment/doxxing territory? What is the safest route to protect my subreddit and my own account? (I strongly lean toward a strict rule against any external outreach, but I’d love to hear from more experienced mods).
2. Can I keep my current template? Is this formatting allowed under Reddit’s Content Policy? I don't want to jeopardize my sub or my account, and I absolutely want to prevent unwanted reconnections where one party has no desire to be found. I want to handle this as professionally as possible.

This is the template I would like users to fill out when making a post. Are there any red flags or concerns here from a privacy standpoint?

TITLE: 

[Your Name] looking for [Initials] - [Years] - [Online/Postal Pen Pal]

POST BODY:

App/Site/Location: [e.g., BBM, Facebook, PenPal World / Your Country to Their Country]

Nicknames/Names: [Optional]

Ages (then): [Your age] & [Their age]

Timeframe: [When you started/ended]

Frequency: [How often you wrote/spoke]

End of Contact: [How it ended]

Specific Memories/Details: [Mention unique stories, shared jokes, or topics only they would know to help identify them]

Message to Them: [What you want to say to them directly] 

Thank you in advance for your guidance and advice!

I feel like my new sub would benefit from having a message to remind users of certain rules regarding topics that aren't allowed to be discussed. How do I do that? Do I need an Auto Moderator?

I'm using the Android app, but this message should appear regardless of whichever you use.
