I mod a number of subreddits. Recently, the same promotional modmail template for a Devvit app has appeared in multiple modmail inboxes I help manage.

That seems unlikely to be a coincidence. The affected subreddits are not closely related, so the fact that the same account/message is reaching more than one of them strongly suggests this is being sent broadly to subreddit mod teams, rather than being a targeted or organic one-off message.

I have reported each message using modmail’s built-in report function, but I have not seen any mitigation (keep receiving in different mod team modmail subsequent to reports).

The messages are essentially the same template each time:

Hi r____mods 👋
I'm a developer and I built a small Devvit bot called _____.
It _____ posts and comments by removing tracking parameters such as utm_*, fbclid, gclid, ref, click_id.
Example:
Original: https://____utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social
_____: https://_____/article?id=123
etc....

I checked reddit.com/report, but I do not see an obvious category for reporting developer/app promotional spam sent through modmail.

What is the correct reporting path for this?

What protections do moderators have against repeated unsolicited promotional modmail, especially when it appears to be sent across multiple communities?

Thanks

Seems like two spoons is a bit hit and miss. The pitch of the cup and the approach seems to require a few stabs. Maybe it depends on crema thickness to work well.

I read stuff about people using syringes and other various approaches. I would like to refine this aspect a bit. Anyone got any smart ideas about what device is going to provide a more efficient way of removing crema?
