the reddit app doesn't have a LOT of stuff that desktop has, when will we get that

Do reddit mods have tools they use to link multiple reddit accounts to a person, or how are they able to link someone who has multiple accounts?

it's signed "Reddit Research Team" and includes a link, supposedly to the survey. Maybe I'm overly cautious, but it seems a bit suspect. Is it legit?

So in a subreddit that I co-mod in, sometimes I would see in the queue ‘comment been removed by Reddit’. But I can’t manually remove it from the queue like normal post.

What should I do? Also, I am on mobile.

I hope I'm not alone in this, because this happens 50% of the time i post on other subs

A subreddit has no rule against posting outside information. I had posted info gathered from the FLA Dept of Agriculture as proof, the reason that systemic pesticidess are used, and how to safely use them, and BOOM, lifetime ban...no warning...no 3 day ban, but for life...on my 3rd post.

The Mod also quoted "Reddit Admin team":

"Reminder from the Reddit Admin team: If you use another account to circumvent this community ban, that will be considered a violation of the Reddit Rules and may result in your account being banned from the platform as a whole."

When there is no rule in the Reddit Rules about this. I reported it as impersonation.

But hey, abusing the Reddit Moderator Code of Conduct is lax. There are no rules against what I did, it was directly related to the topic, and when I asked why, the Mod gave me an obtuse answer that was a non answer.

Why is this type of abuse allowed on Reddit?

Mod CoC: Rule 2

• Creating rules that explicitly outline your expectations for members of your community.

Is this a joke or? The post was not deleted; it is still up.

It could be anything , I am looking to build one, it could be also be that you want to use a bot that does not exist on devvit but only on PRAW and I could migrate it to devvit.

This is for a hackathon btw and all suggestions are appreciated

I blocked several Mod accounts from a sub and still received DMs from them. Why is this possible?

I was not banned. In fact, I muted their sub.

Edit: We criticize the Mods enough that if it is us, we should admit it. This one was on me. Sorry guys. I'm the AH here.

Please help.

There's a reddit with a mod who's been banned at least three times on three different accounts. First was two instances of CSAM of a 16 year old, and most recently was nonconsensual nudes. They don't even try and hide that it's the same person, first it was him making the accounts with the same name but different numbers, and the most recent one they put his account banned for CSAM as his flair. I've tried to submit reports to reddit multiple times but they've always gone ignored. Is there nothing that can be done about this?

I'm building a devvit app to remove posts that are repeatedly reported, and I want to prepopulate it with every default reddit report reason. The report reason is different from what is presented in the report UI, so "Harassment-> someone else" becomes "It's targeted harassment at someone else".

Does anyone have a definitive list of all the report reasons? I tried to pull this from subreddit insights but it wont go back more than 7 days.

Desktop user here. It's for a sports subreddit. I know in one sports subreddit I was in, there was a message that would be displayed if someone didn't use a user flair. We're trying to get more representation of teams, so we wanted to make a post flair for people to comment on if they have a user flair because, for some reason, a lot of our members don't wear one.

I’m so frustrated. I’m a real person attempting to use Reddit for the first time. At first, I couldn’t post anywhere because I don’t have enough karma/my account’s too new. Cool, I found subreddits that are accommodating.

It still seems like I can’t post on most subreddits without being flagged as a bot by bots. It’s absolutely infuriating. I got a message saying to “message bot bouncer to appeal your account being flagged as a bot” but I don’t know how to do that. Do I post in that community?? Curious if I’ll even be able to post this without it being flagged and removed.

I wish there was some sort of verification because I’m not a bot lmao

I feel like a lot of mods are too child like. Especially in the subreddits regarding going through past traumas etc. My concern is that there may be many people who feel suicidal and that one mod could push them over the edge that day. Some people’s social lives and support networks only exist online these days. Could it be taken into consideration not just keeping Reddit safe but having decorum and “grace” towards people as a mod? They always ask for grace and respect as they’re only human but find it impossible to extend that towards others.

Maybe it's common and I've just never seen it before but I recently joined a moderator team and today someone apparently reported the moderator comment about why a comment was removed as harassment against them.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello mods,
There’s something I’ve noticed happening frequently in the subreddit I moderate. A user will leave a comment — sometimes even a constructive contribution to the discussion — and then shortly afterward their profile suddenly appears as deleted.

I find it strange because I don’t fully understand why someone would actively participate in the community only to delete their account right after. It makes me feel like there may be something else going on behind the scenes.

I’ve also noticed one specific user whose account appears to be banned by Reddit itself, yet they are still able to leave comments in the subreddit. The comments are not visible publicly, but moderators can still see them in threads.

Because of this, I’ll sometimes review a thread for rule violations only to encounter deleted profiles, while this particular banned account continues posting comments visible only to moderators.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has insight into what may be causing it.

Many weeks ago, I had someone I was talking to on reddit become really creepy and he basically sent me the title of a picture post I deleted many months ago. I asked him how he knew that and he sends me a link to this website where u can see past posts or something. I got really freaked out by this, so on that website it says u can request removal of ur info and I did, I got an email saying it was accepted and they removed it.

Now a mod tells me this is a red flag and nobody does this. He says its a mod tool, which I had no idea it was... Otherwise I would not have removed it if it means causing problems or being seen as a scammer.

Is this wrong?

Everyone knows mods are basically their own little rulers of a sub. They can write the rules how they want, ban you, completely change the content of the sub. It's part of making one. My question, is should mods be required to follow the rules they add to the sub?

Hi guys! First of all, I do not try to appeal from a ban here and I won't say which sub is that, this is not a post about being banned, this is asking about being permanently muted after banned! Hopefully I do not break rule 7 with this question, if I do then I am terribly sorry and feel free to remove this post! I have been permanently banned from a sub for supposedly breaking a rule. When I got my permaban a mod said that I broke a specific rule (that actually I didn't break). Every couple of months I messaged the mods that permabanning me for that post was a honest mistake, and at the same time I always acknowledged that years before that I made a mistake and got muted justifiably, so I did have a past mistake but always acknowledged it. They always muted me for a month then I was able to write.

Yesterday I got a message that I have been permanently muted. My question is: so, this is it? I will literally never be able to appeal again, now it is impossible for me to appeal/write the mods of that specific sub in any way, forever? I really liked that sub, this is the only reason that I did not gave up fighting for my justice :(
