We have a regular user posting the most amazing and relevant things. Always kind and peaceful, very creative and encouraging towards everyone. Yet, the reputation filter often fires up, saying the person is likely to break the rules. Today we got a "lowest" CQS automod report, and I simply cannot imagine why this is happening. I went into the "arctic" profile, and there is nothing else there but nice and kind stuff. What could possibly be going on there?

I ask because If the moderators were employed or compensated by the company, there would be more chance for a conflict of interest which would lead the community to potentially be more of a PR apparatus for the company and potentially less of a place for free and unfettered discussion.

Specifically, in my case I tried posting what feels like a fair and honest complaint on an external company (megabank) based community about changes at the company and their support for international transactions. There are many people posting about this issue. Mods on this board are moving all posts into a single thread which has a side effect of minimizing visibility.

While one could make a case that this is for keeping the Reddit community organized, it could also be seen as a way of minimizing visibility and therefore minimizing fallout from a PR standpoint. I love Reddit and I'm trying to understand where the intersection is between outside businesses and Reddit communities.

I'm tired of responding genuinely to vote-farming AI bots. Any tips?

While I won't divulge how exactly I determine what content I deem is vote-worthy, I do have a different rule for how I vote within my community as opposed to any other community.

Do you think it's ethical to vote on content within your own community?

Do you vote on content within your community in a different way than outside your community?

I don't want to know what your own personal rule is, that kinda goes against TOS, I'm just curious if others also have a different rule, and whether you think it's ethical to vote within your own community at all?!

Whenever I come onto this reddit community. I sometimes see scam reports and the whole story. But I mostly see people never posting proofs towards the incidents or sometimes actually censoring the scammers username now seeing this I question myself where are the mods or well the common sense like genuinely?

Hello folks, my time for a stupid question.

RR says "You must send a mod mail message to the current moderators of the community at least 5 days before posting your request to give the current moderators a chance to respond or add you to their team."

Which is fine and makes sense, but when requesting barely moderated/ camped subs with a mod team who either ignores or won't check mod mails are we required to send one each time or can we just link to a previous unanswered message from a previous request?

Asking cause I am at my third or fourth unanswered mod mail and it's starting to sound like I am just talking to myself anyway and opening myself up to spam reports due to having to do this over and over.

Cheers!

As I scroll through my main page, so many of the posts I click are already “removed by moderator”. From the titles and/or linked content they generally seem on topic for the sub and have hundreds or even thousands of comments and votes. It makes it very frustrating to scroll my front page as once it’s removed, the linked article is gone. It seems most prevalent in larger, default subs.

Idk how account are nsfw. A subreddit banned me saying mine was, but Ive never posted anything nsfw. Ive commented on those would you rather things that get marked nsfw when it’s like talking about spaghetti or something. So how do I know if my account is marked nsfw. I was banded after just talking to people normally and reporting a pedo who was talking to me sexually. This isn’t me looking for an appeal to my ban I’m not looking for one I just want clarification on why I was banned.

Today I found out my account was shadow banned and I submitted an appeal and it was lifted thank god!!
But my posts are still showing its removed by Reddit filters. Most of em are nsfw posts tho.
Most of these posts have great engagement, can you please help me to restore them.

I literally don’t understand this app at all 😭 apparently I don’t have enough karma of any sort and now go fund me page banned me due to my confusion.. how do I grow my profile? Is there a way to reverse this ban?? Everywhere I try to post tells me I can’t..

Hey guys! Hope everyone’s doing well!
I have a question about Reddit’s AI-generated user summaries. 😅

I used to click on my username in the subreddit I moderate, and Reddit would generate a little AI summary about me. And honestly… it was astonishingly accurate. 100% accurate, actually. 😂 I’d probably go back every 30 minutes just to read it because it made me feel so honored and well-established.

It would usually say things along the lines of: “Eric is a highly professional moderator for XXX subreddit, fosters community discussion, creates rules, vets new moderators,” etc.

However, for about the past month, I haven’t been getting a summary at all. My activity and contributions haven’t really changed, so I’m wondering if anyone knows why this might have stopped?

Did Reddit change something about how/when these AI summaries are generated, or are they just randomly unavailable sometimes?

And yes, I realize I may have been slightly addicted to reading my own AI-generated praise. 😂

Hi,

The account I use to mod my sub (not this account) got flagged as an app with a message pop up any time I try to do something. I don't use it much as my sub is pretty small. About 9 days ago the email associated with the account received an email saying respond within 7 days or you'll be registered as an app. It's not an app, bot, or anything of the kind, it's me.

Wondering is this something I can get reversed? It's not an app. The other account is not used much. Mostly used if I have to mute or ban someone. I only logged into the associated email today, to find I'm two days late. The account has only made a half dozen posts total. Let me know what the situation is and if it can be rectified. Thanks much

I'm trying to post something, but I got a message saying "sorry, this post has gotten removed by Reddit's filters". Is there any reason why this happens a lot?

So many times I will have a post removed because the mods took it down.

Weirdly, there is no automod message, no stickied comment, no pm, no message from the mods, no description of the rule I broke, literally nothing that tells me what I did wrong.

This gets annoying because I just want to know the rule I broke and how I can avoid it in the future, so why do some mods take down posts without giving a reason?

I've been just badmouthed by someone and I can't do anything about that.

Comment is of course deleted so I can't report it or block the user, but I can see a "very nice" beging of this person message.

Why reedit is allowing it? Why not delete the notification along with a comment? Or give user that ability to report people doing that anyway?

I've read that some people are using it as a way to insult others without risking a ban, so it has to be a common experience. It happened to me already a couple of times and I don't comment very often and this is probably my fourth, or so post ever. So maybe it's a time for reedit to do something with this.

Hello

The sub for my city has a single mod and he does a pretty shitty job at moderating it, he allows people to post stuff unrelated to the city and we even have weirdos spamming sexual questions all the time, which he does nothing about because he probably enjoys them. One time someone posted actual porn and it took hours for it to get removed, which is why the idea of a single person moderating the subreddit of a capital city is a stupid idea. He has stated several times he doesn’t want other mods on the team.

We complain about him all the time but all he does is laugh and ignore us. Is there anything we can do to get him replaced? Or at least force him to let more mods join the team?

What to do about a deceased mod?

I found a sub for the small town where I recently moved but it’s essentially defunct due to a deceased top mod, and the other mod, who is the deceased persons brother, has lost access to his account with mod privileges and is understandably emotional and not very happy about my inquiries within the sub about how we can get a new active mod.

While I’ve been on Reddit for 3 yrs I’m more of a commenter and I don’t have any post Karma to request Reddit to make me the mod. Honestly I’m not that interested in actually being a mod, I just want my small town sub to be useable.

Hoping folks here might have some suggestions on how to figure this out.

Hi. Probably been asked before, but I'm just wondering if a post or comment is removed due to mod discretion, is it deemed bad etiquette to ask within a modmail for their advice on how to engage in good faith about that topic in the spirit of the sub and without running foul of the moderators?

I was an active user on a political sub a while back, but ultimately disengaged and decided to move on. There was an incident of racist comments in that subreddit and it caused a huge stir. In the time since, I would make a few comments about that incident in other subreddits, including one about a month ago. One of the mods found that month old comment and started questioning me about it. I'm not sure why he did that, and he proceeded to block me after I called it out. Is this normal behavior? I have never seen anything like this
