I will be attending "You're registered for New Mod Bootcamp [Q2]! See you there 😎" this coming Friday. I have worked really hard getting r/CrimsonDesertLife into an active community. Some issues I have found, new member joined added some content, then started their own sub 2 days later-advertised it on my sub in its own post, and started asking ppl to join their competing sub on other ppls posts/and my posts (had nothing to do with the topic-advertising "better flairs" etc). Also have issues with ppl and downvoting for absolutely no reason. How is one supposed to survive on this platform with Alt accounts brigading/downvoting you and your members? Any insight about these issues would be very helpful.

I’ve noticed I often rewrite messages because text doesn’t reflect what I actually mean.

For example:

A joke sounds rude

A serious message sounds dry

A supportive message feels robotic

I was wondering: what if a keyboard could understand context, emotion, and intent while typing and subtly help improve communication?

Not selling anything — just curious if others face this problem too.

Do you think this is a real problem or am I overthinking it?

I enabled “Require post flair” in my subreddit settings, and users are allowed to assign flairs too. Everything seems configured correctly, but posts can still be submitted without selecting a flair.

Is this normal for moderators only, or is Reddit currently bugged? Anyone else facing this issue recently?

I’m new to Reddit and recently created my own subreddit. I want to add a few moderators, but I only plan to give them limited permissions mainly the ability to create posts and manage flairs.

Is this generally considered safe, or are there any risks I should be aware of before adding them as mods?

Need info about members that have joined my community. Is there a list of members names or profiles? I've looked everywhere with no success. Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

I have about 2000 subscribers, but I feel like I’m the only one that makes new posts.

I am brand new to Reddit and have no idea how to get people to see my message or join me.

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've been permanently banned from a few subs in my day, I first get a... you're banned.... messege, that says please contact us to talk about this, then immediately receive a permanent muted from responding. This has occurred with every ban I've received.... is this against reddit rules for mods?

If we ban people from our subs, can we immediately mute them so they can't respond? Or will we be breaking a reddit mod rule? 🤔

i have been wanting to be a mod for a long while and have sent out plenty of applications and inquiries, however i have had no such luck. i believe that is due to my lack of experience. i am a fast learner and very much willing to learn, so if any subs require some assistance or are willing to help, please come my way lol!

also i am already on r/needamod

Is it okay for members to post faces and/or plate numbers of vehicles on reddit (except of course, some famous people) or not? I don't know what constitutes doxxing or not.

My current rule is do not post where faces and plate numbers are visible. I only allow those public figures and/or their faces they recorded on a camera.

Requirements: Karma 5k+ Account age: 1y+ Should be active. (Indian will be plus)

Congrats on becoming a new moderator. Every community on Reddit started exactly where you are today: with a party of one.

The community-building journey might feel a little lonely and that's what r/NewMods is for. Here you'll find and connect with other mods who are on the same journey you are.

So, introduce the community you created. Maybe share a little bit about why you created it. And, while you're at it - say hello to your other mods!
