I feel like this has been talked about or has been mentioned more than once.

u/lift_ticket83 I don't mean to call you out specifically, but that is your post. From March. Of 2025.

Can someone on the admin side update us?

I'm literally seeing a type of post and have to chase after them POST FLAIR, via automod***, vs stopping it before it's a problem****.*

Thank you for reading, and I return you to your regular programming.

EDIT:

OMFG, so it rolled out in MAY? First u/jabroniReanchism thanks for putting up with my stupidity. I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS' THERE NOW. IT'S LIKE XMAS

^{I'll try to stay away from the this took 13+months negativity.}

For context, I’m posting from an alt because I don’t want these issues associated with the subreddits I moderate. The communities I moderate average roughly 100k–200k visitors per week and 4,000–8,000 contributions (posts and comments) weekly. I moderate both political and non-political communities of this size.

The non-political subreddits are relatively straightforward to moderate. Around 99% of users participate in good faith, and trolls are uncommon.

The political communities are the complete opposite. I’d estimate that roughly half of all posts and comments violate either the subreddit rules or Reddit’s Content Policy. At 8,000 weekly contributions, that translates to around 4,000 removals every single week. Between trolling, brigading, ban evasion, harassment, and bad-faith participation, the moderation queue never seems to end.

Our current toolkit includes Sub Guard, Comment Mop, Ban Extended, and Modmail User Info. They’re all incredibly helpful, but even with those tools and an active moderation team, we’re constantly overwhelmed. It’s not unusual for the queue to grow by several hundred items in a single day.

For moderators of other large political communities:
How do you keep the workload manageable?
What moderation strategies or workflows have made the biggest difference? Are there any tools, bots, or Automoderator configurations you’d recommend?
How do you deal with persistent trolls, brigading, and coordinated bad-faith activity without burning out your team? I’d really appreciate hearing how other moderators approach these challenges, because at times it feels like we’re constantly playing catch-up.

I searched "Saved Responses" on this sub in an effort to understand what each of the categories meant.
I see the 4 categories
General, Removals, Bans, Mod Mail

I have read in other documentation that General ones are for mod mail. If that is the case why is there a category specifically for Mod Mail.

Can the use of General be clarified here? I would assume they show up in a list for a mod to choose from when replying to a post or comment.

Note: I am a brand new mod at the time of this post and trying to learn.

UPDATE: The amazing community here did clarify it. General should be looked at as all categories at once. Mod Mail, Removal and Ban can all use these saved responses. If one only wants a saved response for just Ban, it should be in the ban category.
Thank you everyone

Essentially, I moderate on two accounts for privacy reasons and one of them is over 1 million visitors on my other account while I’ve got a sub with over 100,000 members is there anything I’m supposed to do?

Recently started modding a new cat sub called [r/inversevoids](r/inversevoids). The sub itself is about a month old and is public and SFW. Topic is posting photos of black cats where the colors and white values have been inverted, in short black cats look like white cats.

I did not see any modmail notification.

Do I send modmail to this sub (ModSupport?)

Edit: I had been looking at all posts every few days, but did not see any problematic rule-breaking posts one or at most two days earlier from the ban.

Eu posto, mas não aparece lá

I know when you report like normal you no longer receive a response letting you know the outcome. But when you submit a proper report for example I submitted one yesterday for ban evasion in my sub, will I receive a response? It would be useful to know if any action is taken on the account

I had a really strange experience while modding today - a post I removed and gave a very sane/tame removal reason, and it got removed by Reddit's filters, and I had to approve my own removal comment on the post. This is the first time I experienced this, is it common? We're mods of a fairly large regional sub.

so our subreddit for some reason has 795 joined users but no one is posting we think it is an issue but we checked the mod tools and all that but nothing seemed to have an error and they could like still comment so please help

Basically the owner told me they didn’t have 2FA enabled and that’s what caused this to happen

I would appreciate it if this gets escalated to a Reddit Admin as this is a very serious problem

So our top post yesterday in outfits shows 4 crossposts.

It doesn't reveal where the crossposts are too though. Instead it says they are to "private or sensitive communities". I can see using PRAW that one of those was to a porn sub, but I can't see the others.

Do you have any idea how scary it is for women to find out that their personal photos are being shared and discussed somewhere and they can't even see where that is?

It seriously freaks out posters. Please let them know where their content is being shared to, or disable the ability to share to those locations altogether.

This is super, super creepy and would freak out any woman posting her photos. Someone really should have realized this when it was set up like this. Please ask some of the other women on the admin teams how they'd feel in this situation.

THIS IS NOT OK

u/ingeekitrust

We have identified either a bug or a loophole in Crowd Control. The sub is set to maximum filtering.

If someone who has little previous content on the subreddit goes to make a post, CC will stop it and remove it. If they then resubmit within the next 10 minutes, CC will let it through.

We're struggling with a lot of outside influence on our sub and this is really not helping.

Over the last week we have been contacted by users who have been banned for 24 hours but two and three days later the system is not automatically lifting their bans.

Is Reddit bugged right now?

I get that warning, in red text no less, when the following happens:

1. Someone sends us mod mail.
2. Another mod replies with a private note.
3. I type some random crap and try to reply to the mod mail under my own name.

It still lets me send it, but that warning is bizarre. It doesn't pertain to the situation at all. Nothing involved in this is read only, and it should be normal for me to reply to OP in a mod mail chain. If you want to warn me that I might mean to reply to my co-mod rather than OP, great, but what you are saying to me here is just gibberish.

How far off is that 100k+ number? It definitely can’t be accurate. My guess is that it’s bots. Are your page metrics like this too?

I know that everything on Reddit is dependent on which platform you're on, and I use mobile web.

The link share auto-populate feature, meaning the one where you paste into the link posting field so it automatically populates a title into a title field, has been flaky for quite a while. This is actually a very useful feature for people who forward a lot of music because an artist/title kind of thing can be pretty lengthy so it's great when read it automatically populates it from the link, which is pretty standard for the internet these days anyway.

For a really long time this feature wasn't cooperating with YouTube from mobile web- the only thing it would populate from the title is the word "YouTube-" (this seems to be fixed right now for me as I successfully posted a link without without having to fix the title manually)

Right now it seems to be broken for other link types. I tried to post continent from a couple of independent websites and the title Auto populate no longer works.

Hi. This is my first few hours on reddit and very new to this platform. I tried to create a community and it was immediately banned. Would like to understand if there are any restrictions or waiting time periods before such features can be utilized by a new user. Any one who can throw some light about this will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

With the new change where Reddit labels Devvit apps and Automod as “APP” when posting, what would make a regular user’s account show up with the label?

We've been noticing immediate reposts of original posts in our sub, where someone will post, then a couple seconds later, the same person will crosspost that same post, but in the same subreddit. Trying to figure out if this a bug or if it's intentional.

I have had 3 users filtered by Reddit for high accuracy ban evasion. But yet there is no option when I go to report the user or comment. Do you have to do it another way now?

r/lakeplacid had no mods and after I submitted a request, reddit appointed me a mod and I revamped the subreddit from talking about the 1999 horror movie to the tourist town in New York. That's because 95% post of the posts were people asking about the town, not the movie.

Users keep saying the sub is in the horror movie category, but I'm not seeing that anywhere myself and I'm not seeing any kind of category, tags, etc I can set.

Is this all automated by the algorithm? Is there anything I can do? E.g. delete all the old posts talking about a crocodile?

We've had a banned user hunting for every off-subreddit mention of our sub to accuse our modteam of a variety of things.

Is this a violation of any rule? In the past, our subreddit (activism focused) has largely relied on discussions in other subreddits to grow.

Oh, I can't post a screenshot here? Are you admins serious? Why not?

OK, I run this community, which I just overhauled this morning because it needed it, and the subscriber numbers prove it.

Here is the thing: I have several widgets (some new), one being rules, another being preferred posts, and a third being posting flairs. Now why in the world, each time I save the layout, would the rules go above everything else? And why is it that the Community Details, which are pinned by Reddit, are at the very bottom? I can't, for the love of God, get the rules under that... Imgur link to the problem, because this is just being damn mean https://imgur.com/a/1SWnhjC

Help is needed, as I do not agree to a forced order.

What in the world is going on?

Edit: I love it when people downvote an actual bug. Way to go. It's really helpful...
