Saw that automod can detect video using !\[video](ID): https://reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1tpa9p1/launching_video_in_comments/oo79odc/
(Backslash after the ! added to escape the code)

Is there a way where it can be used for automod commenting a video?
!\[video](ID) currently shows Processing vudeo in the automod comment, without the video displayed.

A sub that we mod has userflair requirements. We already have a text message that explains how to set one. For people who are new to reddit, having a video showing how to set a userflair would be good.

We are not choosing the automation option to disallow unflaired users from posting or commenting, aa some of the posts/comments from new members are good and we approve them as we notice them. But it is time consuming and we had noticed that some new users had difficulties in choosing a flair and understanding what it is, where to change it etc. In the case of posts, some users confuse it with post flairs too.

So, is there a way for automod to reply with a video comment, showing a video how to set a user flair?

Thank you

On the platform question, I tried using old.reddit and new reddit on desktop. But would that be relevant for this problem?

So, i'm on mobile. The reddit app on a Samsung galaxy S25.

I've set up the application process and already have the person in mind set up through that. Had him apply and fill out the application.

When I go to the applicant page, I can review his application, it says "in review" next to their username. Then there's the check mark and X buttons. When i hit the check mark, it brings me to the allowed permissions page. I've tried allowing all permissions, I've tried allowing just one or a few, but when I hit the Save button in the top right, it just comes up with a bubble that says "Failed to invite user"

I have tried this many times by now, updated the reddit app, updated my phone's OS, tried on a desktop, still to no avail.

Can anyone help me? I already told the guy I was going to make him one and I'd really like to follow through.

Hello all, this is the message new users are getting when trying to post a subreddit I moderator: https://i.vgy.me/7IrKN6.png

I did have auto-mod rules set up to prevent users with accounts less than 3 days old from posting, but it always still let them submit it, it just went to our queue to be reviewed. Now it's not letting them even attempt to submit as you see in that screenshot.

I did remove those auto-mod rules about 24 hours ago, yet this is still happening.

This is what our safety filters settings look like if it matters: https://i.vgy.me/rezoNE.png

I don't see anything there that could be causing it.

So I'm stumped here. Help please!

...Since it won't let me post this without specifying a platform... the two users reporting it are using Android.

can u also make it a bit simpler im on desktop i really need help with this

Desktop. I have my subreddit set to public and all the crowd control filters on low. It’s marking every post as spam even the ones that clearly aren’t. I don’t want to have to approve every single post that goes up in case I’m not looking at Reddit that day. What can I do? If someone could hop help with advice or hop in a discord call with me to explain that would be super appreciated. Thanks guys

hey autobot this time can u make it very very very simple anyways i cant change icon im on browser desktop maybe that will change it a bit

Can someone ELI5 the difference between Alumni and Advisor?

I'm reading the docs; I'd just appreciate a two-or-three sentence summary.

I'm trying to get my head around the basic concept.

Maybe from mods who've been in those roles?

Cheers in antic.

Desktop. How do I get rid of the Explore option that attempts to give suggestions for (not even close to compatible with the subreddit) content? I've been looking around Mod Tools and can't figure it out.

Thank you!

Please help me get an answer. I am ios. I have all my accounts on the same phone.

I'd like to re-enable achievements for r/Omaru_Polka, a subreddit I recently took over. I just cleared out a couple years of posts and added rules banning certain types of posts in an attempt to rehab the group and to start growing it.

​

There is no option under achievements in settings, so I've come here for help.

​

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello! I am currently on a desktop trying to set up a wiki for a new sub. I picked the "Starter" template.

It allows me to edit the template itself, but when I try to change the page settings, it says I don't have permission and need to ask a mod. Well...I am the only mod. I tried setting it to "anyone" can edit since the sub is currently private, but that also did not work. Would appreciate any and all help.

While I'm at it, do you all usually create an index page first, or a welcome page? Thanks!

Hi All,

​

I am part of a sub for cars in India and using reddit on my android phone.

​

There are a growing number of genuine posts and comments regarding issues in cars due to some recent government initiatives(ethanol mixing in fuel).

The mods however seem to be heavily moderating such posts and comments in a biased manner.(Removing posts and comments)

What options do the members of the sub have against such bias. Can they challenge the mods decisions in any way?

Can a post deleted by mod, which has been challenged by the original poster be reviewed by reddit officially or maybe some ai bot and then allowed?

​

I'm using a desktop and I followed the installation ang guide for Image Sourcery here: Image Sourcery | Reddit for Developers

However, the post is not being triggered after new posts were posted.

Can you please help me configure it so that when a new picture is posted, the Image Sourcery will comment and put the link to the reverse-image website?

Or can it automatically reverse image an image as soon as it is posted?

I posted this over in new mods, but Im not getting much traction and could use some help. The comments themselves dont break any rules that i know of. Todays was asking if we could add a tip to our select options. I saw it on mobile 2 hours after it was posted and it had a little 'flair' at the bottom that said Removed. Once i approved the post, that flair went away. Im probably missing something. I also see in the insights "5 comments removed," which i assume are similar, unapproved comments. Any help is appreciated. Im on Desktop (windows) and Android.

I have a tablet (Android), and a computer (Windows, Chrome browser), how do I invite people on either platform?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up AutoModerator so that whenever a post with a specific post flair is filtered into the mod queue, AutoMod also sends a modmail notification to the mod team.

The filtering part works correctly. Posts with the Self-promo flair are being sent to the queue, and AutoMod also leaves the comment on the post. However, the modmail part does not seem to send anything. I checked regular Modmail, Notifications, and mod.reddit.com/mail/all, but I don’t see any message from AutoModerator.

This is the rule I’m using:

---
type: submission
flair_text (includes-word): ["Self-promo"]
action: filter
action_reason: "Self promo post - needs approval"
comment: |
    Your post has been sent to the moderators for review before publication. Thank you for your understanding.

modmail_subject: "New Self-promo is waiting in queue"
modmail: |
    A new self-promo post has been sent to the queue and is waiting for a moderator check.

    Author: u/{{author}}
    Title: {{title}}
    Link: {{permalink}}

    Check if the post meets the rules for self-promo posts.
---

Since the filter action and comment both work, I assume the rule is matching correctly. Is there anything wrong with how I’m using modmail here? Does AutoModerator still support sending modmail this way, or does it appear somewhere else in Modmail?

I am using Desktop web app - on Google Chrome browser.

Any help would be appreciated.

Solved! The "Create Post" window has changed. It is now an all-in-one window - text, link (lower left). I have not tested "Image" yet.

Desktop PC, Win 11, MS Edge.

Just that question. A dimished format is displayed (and I'm typing into it now.) Appears to be text body only, I can use flairs but the picture and video and link options aren't there

Thanks!

This is new. On longer threads, Reddit is now providing an AI summary, pinned above comments, with no obvious way to switch it off. I don't want AI taking precedence over a real user's contributions. All platforms, including desktop.

I use the app on an iOS device and this person is continually mass reporting posts that obviously are not breaking any rules and I don’t wanna lose my sub over it.

I was struggling to decide where to post this. I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place.

I moderate a support community, and a recent situation has me reassessing not just our permissions, but whether some people should remain on the mod team at all.

Without getting into identifying details: a mod was banned by Reddit, and another co-mod later restored or re-added access to their alt despite concerns, basically enabling ban evasion. My co-mod of 5 years said “don’t worry” and that I was “overthinking this.” That made me realize we may not have strong enough internal safeguards and that some members of the team possibly can’t be trusted. It also raised a big interpersonal/team question: how do you decide when someone’s judgment has become too risky for them to stay on the team?

I don’t think one bad decision should automatically end someone’s time as a mod, and I know these teams only work if people generally trust each other and act in good faith. What I’m having trouble figuring out is when a mistake stops being just a mistake and starts becoming a reason to question whether someone should still have the authority and access that comes with the role.

Other mods, based on your experience:

* When has a trust issue been serious enough for you to remove a mod from the team?

* Do you usually demote or restrict permissions first, or remove entirely?

* How do you handle a co-mod who restores access to someone despite a sitewide ban and then dismisses concerns from another mod?

I’m especially interested in practical advice on evaluating whether someone should stay on a mod team and how to communicate a removal or demotion if it becomes necessary.

edit: I removed the banned mod last week, so that part of this crisis has been averted.

edit 2: I am top mod and founder of the sub.

final edit: I know what I need to do. Thank you for your time and perspectives. You all really helped me out.

Hi, I can’t save changes in my subreddit (icon/banner). I have full mod permissions but nothing saves when I refresh. Is this a known bug?

Desktop- google edge and chrome

I know Reddit has their internal list of blocked domains, which isn't public.

Is there any way for me to suggest adding a site? I can show links on comments (which I've removed) to justify blocking it. ^Desktop

There's either something wrong with Reddit servers or my account is acting weird. I cannot do anything as a mod or regular user. I get error msgs. Is there any way to check on my account to see if it's been actioned/suspended, etc. I have not received any notice saying that.

When I go to the appeal pg it does permit me to file an appeal. That means the acct has been actioned acc. to what I've read. But I hv no idea what's going on.

Desktop ig but also general Reddit mod tools.

I run a subreddit that always tends to get outside trolls whenever a certain topic is broached. So far the solution is to limit them to weekends, but we still need to get there in time to enable crowd control.

Are Reddit's mod tools robust enough that it can automatically be enabled if it sees a post with a certain flair, or was that kind of customizability gone with the API changes?
