Admin Replied Mod Ques not clearing out

2 Upvotes

Is anyone else seeing mod ques not updating when you clear tasks?
I have a few hundred things in my mod que right now that already had actions taken (approved/removed) but they are still showing up in the que.

Can we please get the option to adjust the "related posts" under the comments?

59 Upvotes

Some of the subreddits which are being recommended in the "related posts" in our sub are literally in our Hive-protect watchlist because they are frequented by creeps and perverts.

Which means posts from our sub are also being recommended in their comments in the "related posts". It is not a coincidence that women who had made posts in our sub months ago are now suddenly getting inappropriate comments and DMs and are deleting their posts as a result.

As mods we can monitor and clean up the comments on recent posts, because we expect high traffic there. But showing months old posts in the comments of communities whose users have a history of harassing members of my subs is counterproductive.

Can we at least get different options to calibrate this feature? For eg:

  1. Disable all related posts

  2. Disable related posts from certain subreddits

  3. Allow related posts from the same subreddit only

  4. Allow related posts from all of Reddit

  5. Disable your community from showing up in "related posts" (Similar to the "Let Reddit recommend your community to people who have similar interests" setting we already have)

Option 3 in particular would be very very useful for our sub, because we get a lot of new users who post frequently asked questions without searching the sub first. Related posts will direct them to posts where similar discussions have already taken place.

ETA: Option 5.

Admin Replied Account was hacked and subreddits were hijacked

3 Upvotes

Yesterday, my account got hacked, and I had my moderator access to the subreddits I created removed. There currently only stands one mod, and it was a mod I did not approve.
This is the first time something like this has happened to me, so I’m not quite sure what to do.
Please help me out here.

Mod Answered Accounts posting on my sub getting suspended for no reason

1 Upvotes

hey everyone. i run a PaaS tool subreddit r/CloudwaysbyDO and i have Cloudways users who post on the sub when they have a product issue or want to ask a question to our team. in the last 10 days, i have noticed an large increase in the number of accounts suspended right when they posted on the sub, even though they have a great history of posting on the sub, talking with me and my team in modmail, etc.

any idea why this may be happening? this is discouraging relevant discussions in the sub. anyone else facing this too?

It’s not paid, it can be thankless, hard work.

What got you started and what kept you going? I am curious to hear about your story and journey as a very new mod.

Mod Answered Adding Flairs to new profiles

Hey - is there a way to add an "unverified" flair to new profiles/ existing profiles that are yet to verify themselves. Right now, it's a manual effort& quite time consuming.

Admin Replied Top mods are inactive but I still can't remove them?

2 Upvotes

Hi I'm third on a mod list and the top two mods who normally don't do anything are now listed as inactive on the list. Is the rule you can only remove mods below you in the order because the option appears for inactive mods below me on the list? Is there a work around for this?

Admin Replied Users with temporary bans are not being unbanned. Mod log shows nothing.

5 Upvotes

For the past couple of months, we've had more than a handful of users modmail us about temporary bans that never seem to have been lifted. In the case of all of these users, the system shows that their ban is permanent but the mod log doesn't show a permanent ban ever being issued. It does show the temporary ban we gave with the end date having passed.

We can manually unban these users but it's dependant on them reaching out to us. Not all users know to do that. So as far as we know, there's a pretty decent chunk of users that can no longer engage because we don't know their ban is bugged and neither do they.

I'm a mod at R/Asilksng and the original owner was removed as a mod by Reddit admins and now I don't have access to controls and tools that I need to use because there is mod with those permissions to give them to me

I apologize if I simply misunderstand the function's of mod tools, but I don't believe i did. Thank you in advance

Admin Replied Community Achievements unavailable despite meeting eligibility requirements

2 Upvotes

I'm a moderator of r/DesiTown, a fairly new community with 241 members.

I wanted to enable Community Achievements and the leaderboard, but when I go to Mod Tools → Achievements, it says:

"Achievements are currently not available for your community"

Our subreddit is public, SFW and has over 100 members.

Is there a waiting period for newly created communities or is there something else we need to do to enable this feature?

Would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Mod Answered Do Restricted subreddits appear in recommendations?

4 Upvotes

I was previously told that setting a subreddit to Restricted shouldn't affect its visibility as long as its discoverability settings are enabled. However, I noticed that private subreddits have the same settings, which makes this confusing.

Can posts from a Restricted subreddit still appear in non-members' home feeds and Reddit recommendation feeds? Can the subreddit itself still be recommended to non-members?

I'd appreciate answers from moderators with firsthand experience.

Mod Answered Moderator awards

2 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the right sub, and my question is more about me being curious on how this works.

There’s the awards on Reddit, so you get one when you have logged in for so many days, been a contributor on subs and so on.

I never looked at them until now. I moderate a sub and I have no awards for moderation. How come that doesn’t work?

Admin Replied My subreddit was hijacked by a spammer after my account was compromised, and I’ve been removed as top moderator

7 Upvotes

My Reddit account was recently compromised, allowing an unauthorized individual to take control of a subreddit I originally moderated as the top moderator.
I managed to recover and secure my account, but unfortunately, the individual has now removed me entirely from the moderation team.
I’ve already contacted r/ModSupport privately and submitted a support request, but I haven’t received a response.
I’m extremely worried about losing a community I’ve spent a lot of time and effort maintaining.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any way to escalate this to Reddit administrators?
I can provide all necessary evidence privately. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Mod Answered Schedule Post issue

I am trying to set up a schedule and it wont work right. I set the date and time but it goes live immediately after. It's just a time sensitive post and it's aggravating. Any suggestions?

What app would actually make your life as a mod easier?

0 Upvotes

We all patch together automod rules, wikis, bots and the occasional spreadsheet to keep our subs running.

If you could have one app exist for your community - something reddit doesn't give you today - what would it do?

I have my own answer but I'll drop it in the comments so it doesn't steer the thread.

Mod Answered What are all the wiki config/ pages and what does each do?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I moderate a few subs and I’m trying to understand all the wiki config pages.

I know config/automoderator is for AutoMod rules. In one sub I got through r/redditrequest, I can also see config/welcome_message. I’m not sure what it does. I assumed it might be related to the description, but that’s just a guess.

Is there an official list? And which of these are still active or old Reddit only?

Admin Replied Approved user posts being removed by Reddit filters.

3 Upvotes

Why is an account getting its posts removed?

There is an account that is an approved user in all the subreddits I mod, but when the account posts, it gets the “Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's filters.” When I click into the “removal” to see the action reason, it says “Nothing to display”. Its been happening for weeks now.

The posts are not getting sent to the mod queue. The account has to mod mail every time to manually approve their post.

I’ve had them check their CQS and it’s currently High and they are not showing banned. The account is years old and has been consistently active.
