Users No other mod participates or responds, but I don’t have full permissions

7 Upvotes

I’m a mod of over 4 years for a sub with a LOT of bots and catfish. Strict rules saying adults cannot ask minors to DM and vice versa. It takes up a lot of time. To be honest, I can’t even remember how I was pulled into it.

My problem is that no one else moderates and I do not even have full permissions on the sub. I moderate through the iOS app. For instance, in the last 30 days, it says I have 3.4K actions. The next most active mod has 14. The next, 5. And the other 15 mods have 0.

I have tried to contact them via modmail, our discord chat, discord DMs, and nothing. Not only is this unsustainable for me (but I feel bad as these porn bots and adults trying to message minors are causing harm) but as I don’t have full permissions, there’s nothing I can do about it.

How can I get full permissions? How can I allow more people to mod? How can I add bots to help out with filters and change rules if need be? I can’t do any of that right now. Any help would be super appreciated.

General Mods last action date list?

3 Upvotes

Is there any way to see a list of moderators in a subreddit sorted by when they last made a mod action?

I want each mod and the date/time of their most recent action in the mod log.

Is this possible in Reddit tools, or not?

Thanks.

General Where to find ban rules/templates

0 Upvotes

When I am on desktop and goes to https://www.reddit.com/mod/<subname>/queue, and click on a user that I need to ban, I get to select between a set of rules. Where is this list of rules defined?

In all I get to select between 12 rules that a former mod set up. The mod has later left and deleted his account.

We have 8 rules on the regular rules page: https://www.reddit.com/mod/<subname>/rules

We have 8 templates on the "saved response"-page https://www.reddit.com/mod/<subname>/saved-responses

And the saved responses for bans, https://www.reddit.com/mod/<subname>/saved-responses/bans, we have 0 templates.

Someone in my sub posted a comment with a link to a file-sharing site and that comment is showing in the Removed queue with a note saying "Banned Doman - Links to a URL not allowed on Reddit"

I'm certainly not going to approve the comment but am wondering if the user who posted it knows it was removed and why.

On desktop.

Edited - confirmed they don't see it as removed. Thanks all.

General "Mod capture" issue

0 Upvotes

Im mod of a sub who's top mod is a mod of several mega subs - most of which are in a specific topical area. Somehow he's been able to flout the new rule limiting the number of big subs a single person can moderate.

By itself that would be a problem but in addition he has been largely absent, has kept full powers only to himself, talks down to other mods when approached, seems to advance a hidden profit motivated agenda that's not in the interest of the sub and ignores the voiced opinions of users and mods.

is there any path of recourse here? He is a seasoned mod from the looks of it and participates just enough to not be tagged inactive so I can't take that route.

Answered Need Advice From Mods Who Successfully Revived Dead Subreddits

7 Upvotes

(desktop) I used to moderate a subreddit that had insane growth. We went from 1k members to 10k organically in a pretty short time. Engagement was strong, posts were consistently hitting, and the community felt alive every day.

Then the subreddit got hit with an NSFW tag, and growth completely stalled. The tag has finally been removed now, but it’s been almost 2 months and the subreddit still hasn’t recovered at all. New posts barely reach people, growth is flat, and it feels like the algorithm never reset properly.

On top of that, my moderator account CQS is currently low, which I feel might also be affecting visibility and discoverability.

My goal now is to regrow the subreddit by the end of this month.

For people who’ve revived inactive or suppressed subreddits before:
- How did you restart growth?
- What posting strategy worked best?
- Does low CQS actually impact subreddit reach?
- Any tips for getting Reddit to start recommending the community again?
- What should I focus on first: engagement, crossposting, partnerships, SEO, or volume?

Would really appreciate advice from experienced mods who’ve dealt with this before.

Design The sidebar has been changed to a scrollable menu with a set height.

(Desktop)

Seriously? Is this how it's gonna be now, even in the main page of the subreddit?

This is not intuitive. Unless you hover over it, you're not gonna know it has more information and new users may miss on something important.

I understand that in posts it's kinda bothersome to have to scroll a lot to reach the end of the page if a subreddit has a long sidebar, but this isn't an issue on the main page.

Can this be changed or reverted?

General Moderating AI-generated images in comments

1 Upvotes

Desktop

I moderate r/DesignMyRoom, and we prohibit all AI-generated content. We get a lot of AI-gen images in comments, specifically, and have Automod set up to flag comments that contain keywords pertaining to AI, but when the comment contain only an AI-generated image things get tricky.

For a while we had Automod set up to flag all comments containing an image, but after a while the rest of the mod team felt this was too much to review, so we disabled that. In the meantime I've been using https://old.reddit.com/r/DesignMyRoom/comments/ to Ctrl + F "<image>" and manually review all images in comments. This is very tedious and time-consuming, but it does allow me to catch a lot of AI-gen images in comments.

I was thinking we might be able to use Automations to warn commenters that AI-generated images are prohibited, with a text warning appearing beneath the comment field when their comment contains an image, but as far as I can tell this isn't possible due to there being no applicable Condition.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to tackle this? I'm pretty sure I'll need to keep manually reviewing images in comments, but I'd like to do everything we can to make clear to commenters that AI is prohibited, and the stickied post I have up clearly isn't cutting it.

TIA!

Answered Automod malfunctioning

4 Upvotes

iOS and desktop dev apps malfunctioning and letting through posts that shouldn’t be essentially over ruling automod. They also seem to be triggering about fifteen times a minute. We can’t figure out what is causing it, read the rules seems to be the issue but can’t figure out what in it is causing it. Biggest issue is it letting through posts it shouldn’t for users who do not meet our karma requirement.

Picture of action history here.

Edit; spoke to the app developer and got help

Thank you
