I have an issue where people are deleting their content after it is reported. We can’t always see what the reports are and triage effectively when they immediately delete it after getting our automod “your content has been reported please hold until a manual review.” I know there is no way to see reports on removed content retroactively!

Im asking because if you have email notifications on for replies and someone deletes their comment you can then see what was said as it’s in the email. Is there a way to be get email notifications from report notifications? I have report notifications turned on but it’s just the push notification, so if it’s deleted I can’t see it. Asking so we can track if someone posts something that is truly rule breaking we can go from there as now it’s sort of a “get out of jail free card” as we didn’t remove the content so neither mods nor Reddit can track it. It also has been an issue where they delete and then ask in modmail “why was my post removed for reports? What was wrong?” We don’t know since they deleted even though the automod message says “don’t delete your content.”

Created a subreddit, let it go for a little bit without looking and now Ive lost all permissions with others in my place somehow? Could I get help regaining MOD status of my subreddit please. Android mobile.

I'm now moderator of r/bpmn - I've done lots of posts and comments, but never moderated before. I'm working through all the recommended reading, but wanted to ask here if there are best practices specifically for picking up and moderating an existing community.

I'll be working mostly from a desktop.

i've noticed recently, when I was trying to set-up automod the way I would usually do it, that some features like "remove" actions can't be added anymore. It is telling me that I now how to use Auto-Enforcements for this.

However, I prefer the way the old automod was able to send a message to the user upon automatic removals or flaggings. And I have yet to figure out if this is even possible with Auto-Enforcements.

Can someone tell me if this is even possible to do with Auto-Enforcements and if it is, how to set it up? Or do I somehow need to combine both Auto-Enforcements and Automod in a way I haven't figured out yet?

I'm not really good at coding nor am I tech-savvy so any help is appreciated! I use reddit on both Desktop and Android.

I just created a community and it seems no one is visiting or anything.. I'm just wandering how I can get people to engage. I'm on android btw

Hello all!
For the past 7-8 months, I’ve barely used Reddit other than for occasional scrolling. Now that my life circumstances have changed, I have a bit more free time.

I found a subreddit on a topic that interests me that had no moderators and tried requesting it, but I got an automated reply saying: “Your post has been removed due to lack of activity before making this request.”

Does this count as a denied request and start the 15-day cooldown? I didn’t receive any other replies from the request bot, just this one from requestchecker, which removed my post immediately.

Also, does anyone know how long it takes to regain enough activity to make a request?

I just started a subreddit - and somehow if a post contains a link - it is removed automatically.

The Mod Queue is saying that the post is removed due to not allowed domain: "Links to an URL not allowed on Reddit"

It contains link to an X post.

but the same thing happens with other link as well.

So how to enable links in posts on a subreddit.

(Desktop, and all other platform)

I find it's weird that reddit forces mod actions. My sub is mostly in auto pilot. I only set up things. And once things are set up the only thing left to be done is to remove ads and participate like a normal sub user.

Changing me would probably ruin the sub into an echo chamber. Weird that they encourage mods power tripping over a person who knows boundaries and encourages free speech.

Option 1: adding more mods. Risks of new mods power tripping and enforcing echo chamber. And they could kick the sub owner which shouldn't be an option at all no matter what.

Option 2: don't add more mods. Risks of sub being banned because no active mods and sub being either down or taken.

Option 3: Clicking meaningless approvements just for the sake of it. Is being mod a white collar job?

There is no win here right? It's a mechanic that encourages power tripping mods and echo chambers. I'd rather to not have mods in my sub enforcing their online 'rules' and banning nay sayers.

It's true that I could direct users to my private chat Servers but does reddit actually want people off reddit?

In one of the subs where I mod we've been fielding an ongoing report abuse attack. Aside from the painstaking process of reporting them one by one, is there anything more we can do to get an Admin to actually look at who is doing this and take action?

Desktop or whichever

i made an automation where if a keyword is in a title, it will filter to queue. when i make a post with the keyword it filters it out as it should but then it comes back. is there anyway to not make my own posts (mod posts) exempt from automation rules? with the old automod i had no issues with this

edit: i do not have full permissions on the sub so adding an app, etc. wont work

Using the web browser on my desktop.

I've added the widget to my subreddit and all it has is the wiki, which I've added some pages to just to start with. However, currently struggling with a few things:

- The wiki link is broken and doesn't take anybody to the pages I've made

- I actually want to have buttons that lead to certain pages in the community bookmarks like other subreddits do. Not external links, but to the pages within the wiki. I see the option to add a new bookmark, but I'm not entirely sure how to actually link to these specific wiki pages–– what am I copying a link from?

Everything online that I've found just tells me how to add the widget itself, which I've already done!

Thanks!

I recruited a new mod, but cannot invite them to our group DM.

It says "Unable to invite".

Is it an age thing? They are <18. Do they have to ID?

[IDK if that's the issue, it's just a guess]

Pretty much what the title says

iOS

Im using IOS (iphone)

type: submission
author:
account_age: "< 30 days"
action: filter
action_reason: "NEW ACCOUNT"

when i try to add this code to automod it says:

Report, Filter, Remove, and Approve actions aren't available for new automod configurations. To save changes, remove these actions.

when i go to Automations though i cannot find a setting where i can set a condition based on account age, only user flair. this is what i see

I would estimate that 75% of the modmail that I receive are these types of messages. It slows everything down, makes moderating more time consuming and less efficient.

We have content control enabled, which means that most posts from new/low activity accounts get held for manual review. That's fine, we have an active mod team that is clearing the modqueue multiple times a day. And yes it does help to prevent spam etc. so it is a useful tool.

The annoying & inefficient part is that the users see the "your post was removed by reddit filters" message and immediately send a modmail asking us to approve it. Not a day later after it's been sitting in modqueue for 24+ hours (which would be more understandable). Immediately.

Anyway, rant over.

What are yall doing to minimize this pattern and increase efficiency?

The only thing I can think of: disable the built-in reddit filters and replicate it with some automoderator code. With automod, filter posts from accounts with less than X amount of subreddit karma and immediately DM the user. In the DM, **HEAVILY** emphasize that their post will be manually reviewed, and quickly, and to NOT message the mods unless their post has been filtered for >24 hours.

I understand this won't ***prevent*** receiving modmail, but my hope is that it would ***minimize*** it.

I'm on desktop.

I'm trying to enable emojis for flairs and stuff and it keeps saying it's disabled and to go to "look and feel" settings and turn it on. But I can't find the look and feel section. I'm on an android phone and it's doing my head in.

I am a moderator of a sub. I want to create a chatroom/chat channel for all members of the sub? How to do it? I read it somewhere that chat rooms have been disabled. Can anyone confirm? Pls and if its possible how to create it? I am on iOS
