I'm interested in how the social distance between the highest (top mod) and the standard moderators are and if there are more than those standard two roles.

• How differently talk moderators to other mods compared to the top mod?
• As a moderator (not top mod), would you say your top mod stands behind you even if you make a mistake?
• Are there more ranks between the mods and the top mod? Something like a second in command? A co top mod?
• As a top mod, would you trust your moderators to get full permissions in your subreddit with you temporarily stepping off fully and at a later date find the subreddit in the same or even better shape?

Edit: Changed text to make the last question more clear.

Just curious, mainly about how people get to be moderators in a lot of big Subreddits...

As an addition:

• How do you manage to actively moderate in all those subreddits?
• Are you active in all of them as a regular user too?

Basically I just saw a post about the bodies of people at Mount Everest... I'm wondering if there is a subreddit or maybe even multiple that are dedicated to that maybe gross, but interesting stuff. Another example would be a real still pumping heart outside of a human that was being transported...

Idk what else to say here... Writing something here in case I need to edit the post body to add something.

Edit: I KNOW PEOPLE USE AUTOMOD, I KNOW THAT, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT STUFF. My question is clearly written, I want an answer to my question and nothing else...

I'm interested: How many posts and comments would one mod of yours theoretically have to check if you would require your mods to do so?

If you have eight mods and have about 120 posts a day, that means every moderator would check 15 posts a day. Same would go for comments.

If you feel comfortable with it, I'd appreciate it if you could share your team size and subreddit with me too.

Best regards.

Hello dear community of r/discordhelp.

On June 2nd, 2025, I took over this subreddit. Due to its previous inactivity I wanted to make it back into a trustworthy source for help regarding Discord.

At that time I couldn't imagine how far I would come, how big the subreddit could become one day.

Yesterday, I received the notification that r/discordhelp reached a whopping hundred thousand weekly visitors, roughly 12.5% of the more official r/discordapp!

This is a huge milestone for me, the whole moderation team and the subreddit.

Below I want to share some statistics for the last year (12 months) that Reddit collected and which I now want to share with you guys.

In the last year, the subreddit received 6.6 million visits, with about 150k average daily unique visitors.

We have reached 9.7k members, from which about 7k joined just in the last year.

The subreddit has seen nearly 15k posts and nearly 100k comments. Our mod team had to remove just a fraction of those, about 1.8k posts and 5.5k comments.

Our mod team was also hard at work and has received a total number of 127 messages via ModMail and sent 825 messages out.

In this post I want to thank my mod team which has supported me with keeping this subreddit up and running over time.

My special thanks goes to u/twoangelss for being my second in command nearly from the start. She has been managing the subreddit besides me, helped me decide things I wasn't sure how to handle. Thanks for your work, I really appreciate you!

Another special thanks also goes to u/DrTankHead. DrTankHead has been part of the subreddit for not that long but is now part of the leadership group due to their dedicated work towards our common goal of making this subreddit the best source of help.

I also want to thank all other moderators for giving up their free time to keep this subreddit safe, trustworthy and overall well moderated, as well as our Trusted Contributors that help us with providing amazing support with their excellent knowledge about Discord.

In the end, thank you all, dear members, contributors, helpers, for making this subreddit what it is today: A place to get help and receive help. A place to share knowledge and help others. A place where everyone can ask questions and doesn't get laughed at.

I'm glad that I made this decision and I'm glad it turned out so amazingly.

Thanks again and stay safe!

Onto another year of excellent support.

Yours, u/FlorianFlash.

So currently the mod notes only have a limited amount of types, which are "Helpful", "Good contributor", "Spam watch", "Spam warning" and "Abuse warning".

I think those are far too limited for good moderator usage. I often add custom mod notes to users that don't fit any of them and having no tag at all makes them not stand out far as much as needed.

My idea would be to add more types or (even better), allow mods to create, edit and change them. Looking at the fact that Reddit is already a user-run and user-moderated app as well as a collection of communities about everything you can possibly think (and not think) about makes me wonder why that specific feature is still so unchangeable and not at all flexible for different use cases.

Imagine a subreddit where users can ask admins something. Of course no admin actually has to respond but it'd be cool to have it the other way around instead of posts in subs like r/AskModerators where admins ask us stuff. I'd love to know what Admins do in their free time while not doing stuff for Reddit, etc.

I'm thinking of maybe starting a small semi-realistic ATC24 version... Or maybe someone else? Thought about ATC12 or something lol. It wouldn't be as strict as ATC24 but like fol‌low taxiways, listen to ATC, etc. but not with all the stuff in the air n stuff. Thoughts?

Edit: I would make it 18+ simply so everyone can talk with ATC and hopefully also so everyone can use VC Radio.

In my subreddit we have so called "Trusted Contributors" that are members that have shown a lot of knowledge and helpfulness in the past and they are also in direct contact with us mods.

Now we got posts and/or comments that they may report to us that are more likely to be against our rules than ones by random members.

For that, I'd wish for a way for specific users (or User Flairs) to automatically have their profile shared in the report so we see from who it is directly and know that the report is more trustworthy than others.

Of course this would be a subreddit-level user-sided option, but mods may be able to request such a thing from specific users. Means they can always decide to report something anonymously if they don't want to share who they are in a specific case. Maybe it could also be an option for other members to share their profile, but with having the default set on anonymously.

Basically, when I try to send a modmail on the android app, it just stays as "Sending..." and if I reload the ModMails it doesn't show. It's a reply to a ban message and I'm a mod.

Funny, first time creating such a help post on my own subreddit. Well, there's a first time for everything.

I've realized that on the mobile app it doesn't show the notification dot anymore that shows when there are new messages in a server. Only when I have clicked on the server at least once it shows them. Restarting the app resets everything and shows no notification dot. Discord is up to date, I force-ended it which didn't work either...

Does that happen to anyone else too? If so, did you find any fix yet?

I'm on a Pixel 8 (Android).

Ich fahre aktuell jeden Werktag nach München rein und wieder raus. Ist ca. ne Stunde Fahrt. Wenn ich dann am Starnberger Flügelbahnhof (Gleise 27+) aussteige, habe ich noch n bisschen Laufweg, bis ich in den Hauptbereich des unterirdischen Bahnhofs komme.

Da zu laufen, die Treppe runter und den Gang entlang, ist so schön irgendwie...

Meistens redet da niemand, weil das eigentlich nur zur Fortbewegung ist.

Ist halt echt gechillt... Keine Ahnung, mir gefällt's aber sehr.

Just curious. Why do you do it or why not? What (dis-) advantages do you see?
