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'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.

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 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.

It has started giving me an error every time on both iOS and Android.

It's up to date.

Also *Has not had

i had a user with a ai summary as follows:

>Frequent contributions to NSFW and fetish subreddits. Recent activity includes general discourse in various communities, utilizing short, occasionally cryptic comments. No direct involvement in [my sub] content noted.

however, visiting the profile showed nothing of the sort. just average sfw posts and comments. is it possible that i am unable to see the nsfw for some reason? or is the ai overview just high?

My subreddit has a blue link with “Places in North America” How do I remove it? My Subreddit is about events in Calgary. Not sure I’m allowed to actually share the subreddit here, but I’m sure you could find it if you look at my profile feed. That link seems to redirect people away from my subreddit and isn’t relevant.

Hi! TheOpusCroakus here! Stopping by to talk about Redditrequest! More specifically, I’m here to talk about what you can do after you’ve been granted a sub through Redditrequest!

You found the sub. You made the request. Your request was granted! Congratulations! As the new mod, where do you start? Good news! There’s a lot to choose from! Bad news! There’s a lot to choose from! Let’s take a look at some areas you may want to get to sooner rather than later. 

• There is this awesome downloadable guide to reviving a community that is truly an amazing resource for this sort of thing.  
• And if you’re completely new to moderating, you’ll also want to check out r/newmods. You can even do that while you wait for your request to be reviewed.
• If the sub has been abandoned for a while, there’s a decent chance that there is some spam or off-topic posts in the feed (which may have been why you wanted to request the sub in the first place). Doing some cleanup is a great place to start. You can also check for things like old pinned posts from previous mods that you probably want to remove. (You can replace them with your own pinned post if you’d like!) You may also want to take a look through the banned user list and decide how you’re going to handle that. (Sometimes, folks get a little heavy handed!)
• Check your mod queue and your mod mail and see what’s going on in there. It could be pretty interesting! 
• Review the community rules. Are there any? Lol If not, you get to start from scratch and create new rules to help your community run smoothly. If there are already rules in place, do you want to keep them? Clarify them? Ditch them altogether? The choice is yours! You can read more about adding Community Rules here. 
  • Fun little side note about rules: When the rules are positive, it tends to encourage positive engagement. 
• You can style the community however you want! Make it yours so that it really stands out! Add a banner! Add an icon! Add a description! There’s a whole section in the Help Center on Community Styling!
• Make a welcome post! Let the community know that there’s a new sheriff in town! A welcome post is a great way for you to introduce yourself, but it’s also a great way to highlight new rules or remind folks of old rules that were or were not being followed and/or enforced. 
• Depending on the size and activity level of the sub that you have just taken over, you’ll want to consider if you need additional moderators. Maybe you know someone who would be a good fit. Or maybe, there’s someone in the community who is already super helpful and would be a good mod. 
• Speaking of help with moderation, consider some bots! There are a lot of Devvit apps out there that really make life a lot easier when they’re on your mod team. 

For those of you who have taken over a sub through Redditrequest, where did you start? What sort of things did you do after being given the keys to the kingdom? Which Devvit apps do you recommend mods install? 

I sure it is straight forward, but I don't know the url/link add to a new post to let our community know we are recruiting new Mods.

I had a question. I constantly get people who love to make false AI claims about everything. I even have a sub rule against it. However, I was on another sub this morning, and I saw the following mod comment on a comment they removed, and I was wondering how this is automated (see below).

I asked them how they were doing this, thru mod mail... But, I was told it was a secret.

I do have some plug ins for my sub. And, I looked at the ones they had, but I didn't see anything obvious. I don't think this is an automod function, is it?

If anyone makes an AI accusation comment, I would LOVE to have this automated, instead of having to do it manually everytime. Anyone have an idea?

This was their auto reply:

Rule 7:

Your comment has been removed due to flagging the post as AI without providing sufficient reason to do so. Please identify the specific reasons you think this is AI in order that the Mods can review.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Is it possible to still grow my subreddit after being inactive for 30 days or so? I had something come up and couldn’t get access to my account. What do I do to try to grow again?

Subject: Request for Manual Review of r/PuzzelTalk – Unreviewed Content Warning

Hello Reddit Admin Team,

I hope you're doing well.

I am the owner and moderator of r/PuzzelTalk, a public community dedicated exclusively to Dutch puzzles, quizzes, and educational word games.

I am writing to request a manual review of our subreddit because visitors have been consistently receiving the "Unreviewed Content" warning when accessing the community through a mobile web browser. This has been happening for approximately two months and is preventing many users from accessing the subreddit without installing the Reddit app.

Before contacting you, I carefully reviewed the community settings and confirmed the following:

• The subreddit is Public.
• NSFW / 18+ is disabled.
• The community contains no adult, explicit, violent, or sensitive content.
• The content consists entirely of family-friendly puzzles, quizzes, and educational discussions.
• Community recommendations and discoverability are enabled.

Despite these settings, the warning continues to appear for visitors, significantly affecting the community's growth and accessibility.

If there is any issue with the subreddit that requires my attention, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Otherwise, I kindly request that the Unreviewed Content status be reviewed and removed if the community meets Reddit's requirements.

Subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzelTalk/

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I sincerely appreciate your support and look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Moderator of r/PuzzelTalk

In the course of moderating, I have heard so many horror stories of users having their post reposted in disturbing ways and having no idea about it. Many of them wish they were alerted when this happened, I wanted to help them, but I couldn’t. Now suddenly Reddit has this as a built-in feature! That is really amazing.

Now users will know if their fashion post was reposted to a porn sub. Or if their post was maliciously posted to another sub! This is really wonderful. I took a screenshot in the comments, but I wanted to really applaud this change.

FYI I posted something in TikTokcringe earlier today and I received my first ever repost notification!

Screen shot below.

Update: so I actually got two more cross post notifications after the first one for the same post, which means if there are multiple, they will get a notif for every one!

Hi, so I'm a moderator for r/avfc for several years now. Unfortunately our creator and second mod accounts are now inactive between 2-4 years. I just wanted to know if their activity would ever become a problem for the existing community and its moderators?

Hello Mod Community,

I would just like to formally introduce my new app called Crosspost Tattler. This app will allow you to have visibility into crossposts created from your sub's posts.

I created this app after experiencing videos hitting r/all and r/popular. Our mod team had no idea which reddit communities were crossposting our content and we wanted visibility into what was happening.

If you're interested, Crosspost Tattler can be found here.

If a users leaves a comment that gets filtered by the harassment filter (or by any other Safety or Automod filter), does the comment still get delivered to the notifications box of the post/comment that the comment is being left under? I’m a moderator of multiple communities that are frequently subjected to harassment and hate comments, so I’d like to know if this is something I would need to look out for when taking steps to protect my communities.

Edit: It seems from the responses that the harassment filter runs after notifications, not before. As such, if any Admins see this, please take into consideration the need to fix this.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with an influx of bot accounts trying to pose as real people? It’s getting ridiculous, and while it’s easy to spot as humans, bot detection helpers like [u/bot-sleuth-bot](u/bot-sleuth-bot) aren’t positively id’ing these. They all seem to follow the same pattern of being a month or so old and very ai sounding mannerisms when speaking.

My current plan is to up the minimum account age with automod in order to interact with the community. But i really hate that solution because we already have it low at a week, and even that still catches some of our newer members often. But lesser evils i suppose…

I am looking to run a poll to determine preferences for certain subreddit rule changes. Obviously, online polls can be easily brigaded/manipulated, so I am wondering if there's any common strategies mods here use for managing polls like these to be as fair as possible, especially for larger subs. Any advice?

We have a couple Mods, but one in particular does not engage for a while then suddenly shows up and approves everything despite the rules. When I try to discuss the issue(s) they disappear and have turned off the DM portion of their profile. It seems there is no way to message them directly? Any help, really not sure what else to do here.

Some people claim that they were not banned anywhere and that they got wrongly permanently banned from our sub.

Obviously I know that a handful of them are just straight up lying, but there are a few cases in which my team and I genuinely consider that perhaps a mistake has been made.

Is it possible that these ban evasion warnings are not always accurate? Or is it straight forward and error free?
