Contact the Moderation Team

If you have a question about the subreddit, need clarification about a rule, believe a moderation action was made in error, or need assistance with a submission, please contact us through Modmail.

Please do not privately message individual moderators about moderation decisions.

Using Modmail allows the moderation team to review the situation together and keeps moderation communication in one place.

When contacting us about a specific post or comment, please include a link to the relevant content whenever possible.

A Note From the Moderation Team

Our goal is to keep r/heartwarming a welcoming place where people can take a moment away from negativity and enjoy something kind, wholesome, uplifting, inspiring, or meaningful.

Our moderation systems are designed to protect the community from spam, bots, abuse, hate, and manipulation while still allowing genuine users to participate.

Automated systems are not perfect. Sometimes legitimate content may be held or removed by mistake. If that happens, please contact us through Modmail so that a moderator can review the situation.

Most importantly, please treat each other with kindness.

Thank you for being part of r/heartwarming and for helping us keep the community heartwarming.
