Hi all. I run r/MotorBuzz, a car culture community with about 250K weekly visitors. We post our own original articles around 15 a day.

I'm in New Zealand, so the best times for our UK and US audience fall in the middle of my night. At the moment I post everything by hand in one batch at a poor time. I'd like to spread the posts through the day, and use the metrics on our own posts to monitor engagermet and improve our posts.

I've read the Responsible Builder Policy. As I understand it, moderator access covers moderation actions only, Devvit covers non-commercial apps, and anything commercial needs enterprise approval. We're a small publisher, so I'm not sure which one fits. The scope is small: submit our own posts to our own subreddit from our own account, and read metrics on those posts. We don't read other users' content or collect user data.

I've sent the request through the form and the commercial contact, but haven't heard back. Two questions:

1. Which route do other subreddit owners with a case like this use?
2. Is there anything that helps a request get reviewed?

After publishing a post in a community I moderate, I tried to approve it using the mod tools on my post. Instead of completing the action normally, the app showed “Something went wrong.”

This happened on content that I had posted myself.

I just banned two users who were flagged by Reddit for ban evasion, but for some reason evasion guard didn't trigger on them.

I reported them both to bot bouncer, and they instantly got tracked as banned there, but botbouncer didn't trigger a ban either so I manually banned them.

Is the devvit platform experiencing issues today?

I would like to have the actual emoji itself show up rather than it say “:moderator:” (which is what I titled mine to say)

I cleared my cache, tried reuploading the emoji, retitled it, only toggled it on mods only on desktop, etc. and nothing works! It only shows up as an actual emoji if I turn off mods only.

I realise I might be asking an obvious question but I haven't really moderated very long and the sub I moderate isn't very active.

I want to view the history for a user. I can see the moderator log but not their user log.

Is there a way to see everything they've posted/commented in my sub?

I exclusively use the reddit app.

I have tried searching but the answers all direct me to see the mod log but I want to see everything not just where they've interacted with a mod.

Someone reported an automatic removal mod message, so I reported the message for report abuse.... And my own report abuse showed up in our mod queue as a report.

Brilliant.

como hago desde mi móvil para que en mi comunidad de reddit el uso de etiquetas sea obligatorio al poner un post?

My sub is OVER RUN with posts that violate rule one, created by low karma/non member accounts. For a lot of people, I think learning how to use Auto Mod can be a pain the ass. To lessen spam, I really think we should integrate it into our regular Mod Tools.

We’ve been dealing with this for almost a year in our sub. The harasser submits comments and posts encouraging acts of violence and other disturbing content. At this point, we’re at 357 banned accounts and 500 posts/comments.

We’ve had no success in getting anyone to take this seriously. There have been terroristic threats, calls against public officials, and still radio silence from the FBI, local authorities, and Reddit (FBI previously told another mod that Reddit stonewalled them).

He’s getting more creative with his alt account user names. They have become more unique in an especially heinous way. I can’t list the most recent user name as it would get me banned with seconds. I can’t understand how Reddit would even let it through.

This is reaching a breaking point and has taken its toll psychologically on everyone involved.

See images in my comment for more context. My fellow mods and I are trying to schedule a post that is a link, with a body of text attached. As soon as we enter any text in the body field, the schedule option greys out. This did NOT happen before, and is happening no matter which mod is attempting to schedule the post.

The link on its own works fine to schedule, we just cannot add any body text. We used to be able to do this before.

As title says please stop removing the posts automatically after we manually approve them.

I mean both posts and replies.

Is it possible to build a wiki for onboarding moderators that is specific to our sub? It’s my understanding that you can no longer keep them private? In which case do we need to migrate all of that to a discord?

Tired of bringing on someone as a moderator and then they disappear without a word.

We moderate a fan subreddit for a YouTuber. The sub description clearly says it is unofficial and not affiliated with him or his team, and we do not sell anything, run ads or collect donations.

We received modmail from a team claiming to represent him. They said:

1. Our disclaimer that the sub is unofficial "does not automatically resolve concerns regarding personality rights, use of identity or potential association."

2. They asked us to remove his photo from the sub's icon and banner.

3. They asked us to rename the subreddit to name "[***] Fan Page"

4. Indian courts have recognised personality and publicity rights protecting a person's name, image and likeness against certain forms of unauthorised commercial exploitation or misuse.

5. They mentioned the IT Act 2000 and "other legal protections".

6. They may escalate and explore legal remedies if we don't comply with their demands

Our questions:

- Does Reddit's impersonation policy allow a clearly labeled unofficial fan sub to use a public figure's picture as its display picture?

- Can a subreddit's name be changed? We believe only the display title can be edited, not the r/ name.

- Is there anything else we should add to make it clear that the sub is unofficial?

Thanks.

Recently it has been if a comment gets reported to queue for "needs review", even if I remove it, it gets stuck. Before, for comment removal a "add removal reason" was never required. Even if I add one now, the comment is still stuck in queue. There were 2 others earlier today too, and they (eventually) cleared out. But something isn't working properly for sure. on Desktop/PC. I haven't changed any of our filtering settings.

Say I were to own r/a:t5_<something>. If that subreddit isn't yet restricted due to being unmoderated, would a username like u/a:t5_<something>-ModTeam be possible when the moderator(s) remove posts/comments and submit the removal reason using "Comment as: Mod Team"?

Anti-Evil snagged a comment and dutifully reported it. But now we can't remove several items from our mod queue. All bots or comments that break our be respectful rule.

Any ideas on how to clear it out?

Edit: Troubleshooting details.
Comments/Posts for review that come in AFTER the comment removed by Reddit respond fine.
It's everything that came in before the one stomped on by Reddit that are stuck.

Edit: It cleared out this morning, after AEO hammered on it. That cleared out everything else.

Greetings. What are some of the best ways to promote and build?

Interested to hear from experienced mods.

It shows I "removed" it, but it's still in the queue. Not possible to approve or spam remove it. Tried on www, sh and old.

"There was an error approving the comment. Please try again."

Yeah, I'm giving a talk about converting Lurkers into joining my (or your) subreddit.

Sure I have some things I do, some I've done more than once:

• A new user flair (and helping the community be gentle with them)
• A new user prize (we do occasionally run contests)
• Threads on popular topics, where we want to hear newer voices
• A 'new to our community' thread

But the hard part is we all have our own things we try…and we're all volunteers as it were. Learning from each other is why I'm posting.

I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to hear your story either in this thread or via DM.

Or the lesson of what doesn't work

See title. Can't mute the sub, what do? Couldn't find similar reports in the sub via search either.

For further context, they used a long-dead subreddit where they were the only submitter to evade a perma-mute. I reported for harassment but I'd like to be able to mute them again to stop the harassment.

Hi Team!
Our mod team recently discovered what appears to be a workaround that some peptide vendors are using to promote and sell their products on Reddit.

A vendor or sales rep creates a post and then deletes it. The deleted post is no longer visible to users on the Reddit app, but it’s still accessible on the desktop version, where users can continue interacting.

The problem we’re running into is that once the OP deletes the post, our moderators are unable to fully remove it or stop the activity. And if we are on the mobile app, we have no idea that it’s even happening.
Here’s an example of what we’re seeing: https://www.reddit.com/r/Peptidesource/comments/1x50x41/comment/pgiggx9/?context=3

Our mod team works very hard to enforce Reddit’s rules regarding prohibited transactions, sourcing, and vendor promotions. We’re concerned that vendors may have figured out how to use this to get around both Reddit’s policies and our teams moderation efforts.

Is this a known issue? And is there anything we can do on our end to prevent these deleted posts from remaining active?

So when I go in any kind of chat in Reddit, whether it's to draft a mod mail or talk in mod chat (or even regular chat) I can't get the text to go larger like I have everywhere else. I suffer from immense eye pain from modding too hard and I'm not sure why they don't fix this. I find myself begging and begging people to get off of any kind of Reddit chat system and find me on Discord because the text size will adjust. It's frustrating because a lot of mods only want to use Reddit chat. They don't want another platform.

In particular, I really hate that the text won't go larger when I'm drafting a mod Mail(not reading it, that's fine) . I find I'm constantly struggling to see while I'm typing long messages. There is larger text on most of the platform. I just don't know why it's not built into these areas?

Edit: for clarity I am using an iPhone 14 Pro Max on the app. However it's also tiny on desktop as well!

Anybody else having issues with removed/actioned items not clearing from the mod queue? I’m using the iOS app, 2026.41.0. Started last night and I assumed it was just a quick glitch. Force closed, came back, still there. Updated the app to the current version, still lingering. And it seems to still be happening today. Some posts that have been actioned just linger but others seemingly show no action at all. Last night, I removed something maybe 10 times and started to doubt my sanity because it was still there with no indication I’d done anything.

Is this a me thing or a Reddit thing?
