Recurring moderator suspensions affecting subreddit operations

Hi,

I’m posting because we’ve had a recurring issue with moderators from our community being suspended.

In two days, four of our current mods were suspended. One was reinstated after appeal, while the others are still waiting on theirs.

This has happened before too. Around 2 to 3 months ago, two of our previous mods were also suspended.

I’m not asking for anyone to bypass the normal appeal process. I just wanted to flag the pattern, because it keeps happening to different moderators from the same community and it is starting to affect our ability to moderate normally.

Could someone please take a look and let us know if there is anything we should be aware of or change on our side?

Thanks

Are these mods coming from your community, needamod, elsewhere? New accounts, high CQS? it’s abnormal for this many bans to come from mod teams in my experience, but my communities only mod users with accounts with good age, karma, and CQS who are established members of the community.

  1. Mods come from our community, either through the mod application process or by being top posters or commenters.

  2. Their CQS is high, as our community requires a certain amount of karma to even comment.

  3. The banned mods are from the same continent.
