So on r/PS5 we don't allow X links and haven't for nearly 2 years. There were websites like xCancel and TwitterWebViewer that let you submit links from those tweets and bypass ads and log-in walls... but those two are down now.

So what alternatives are you considering? We're still pretty against allowing X links (even ignoring the frankly un-ignorable Elon of it all, X requires log-ins for viewing most posts, so it's a non-starter really) but, frustratingly, publishers and developers still break news on it, or drop some juicy tidbit of gaming gossip, so we are trying to figure out a game plan and I'm personally curious how other similar subreddits are dealing these changes. I'm sure we're not the only ones scrambling a little bit.

Maybe screenshots sounds good for a second but those can be doctored.

Maybe some sort of automoderator or post-creation automation that detects when someone is going to use an X link... Keep the existing rule (no direct X/Twitter links) but tell users in our removal reason that mirror sites are in flux and to check the source’s official channels (PS Blog, developer’s own site) when possible, per our rules on primary sourcing.

Anyone else have thoughts? How are you all shifting with these changes?

Every mod team has a line, the tricky part is deciding when someone has crossed it. A while back we asked how do you handle ban appeals. Now we’re jumping back to the initial question: when do you hit that ban button in the first place?

At its core, a ban is a tool your mod team uses to protect your community. It directly affects one person, but the decision is made for the community as a whole. That can leave a team balancing what’s best for everyone against the context around one person and one action. How much does a long history of positive participation weigh in? Does knowing the community well create more room for a conversation, or change how the rule break lands? The same history could pull the decision in either direction.

When the behavior may also break Reddit Rules, protecting the community can also mean reporting site-wide rule violations to us.

So, let’s compare notes:

• What does your team look at before deciding whether to ban someone or try a warning and explanation first?
• Can you think of a time a warning or explanation genuinely changed how someone participated?
• How does your team keep those judgment calls consistent when different moderators might draw the line in different places?

Image posts are enabled under Mod Tools → Content & Contribution → Post Types, and I have toggled the setting off/on and saved it.

However, image uploads remain stuck at “Uploading image 1 of 1” and never complete.

The problem occurs on both Reddit Android and reddit.com on PC.

Another user in the subreddit is experiencing the same issue.

Image uploads work normally in other subreddits.

The Mod Tools Post Types page also previously appeared completely blank on Android.

This appears to be a community-specific media upload/backend issue.

Ok who decided it was a good idea that when you click on the left side below a post to remove a post on desktop, you then get the "add removal reason" button on the right side below the post?

Hello, I'm the moderator of r/fomo_app, everytime a user is posting or commenting in the sub they are getting banned automatically after few hours.

What's the issue with the sub? Can anyone please help.

When looking at Team Health under insights, the actions are broken down into categories - approvals, removals - what are the actions that are being done that fall under 'other' ?

Hi we run a subreddit and two moderators with full permissions has been inactive for quite some time. We recently had two mods leave and mods are active everywhere but the subreddit, been this way practically from the start. How do we submit for removal they don’t respond to messages.

My Reddit account was stolen on August 28, 2026. I recovered it the following day by changing my password and enabling 2FA.

The problem is that on August 28, I was removed as a moderator from the following subreddits:

• r/Calabria
• r/Modena

Furthermore, all the other moderators of both subreddits were removed at the same time, and a new moderator was added to each subreddit on that exact day.

This clearly happened while my account was compromised, and we did not authorize any of these changes.

How can we get our previous moderator privileges restored and have the moderators who were added during the account compromise removed?

This is extremely concerning, as the changes were made without our consent while my account was compromised.

Thank you for your help.

We had a post (correctly) removed by Automod and even flagged by Reddit as coming from a banned domain. The post stayed removed for a few hours. However, according to the logs, a few hours later “Reddit” approved the post, followed by a deluge of user reports.

How does something like this happen? I’ll add a screenshot in the comments. It makes no sense.

Unable to remove posts or ban users at the moment.

Hey gang,

Anyone else seeing a recent increase in ban evasion notes on 7+ year old accounts that don't set off any additional red flags for the account actually being a ban evader, being bought, or being compromised?

I've seen a ton of these on r/gaming in the past month or so, particularly on accounts 10+ years old.
