We're coming up on a subscriber milestone in my main sub, and while we've got a few plans in the works already, I'm curious what kinds of things have been well received by your subs when celebrating something together!

For 600,000 members we used the Wayback Machine to gather screenshots of the community and its growth over the years, and had a gif party in the comments :).

I understand this question might have already been asked thousand of times. So I apologize for asking again. Is there a method for me to check whether the subreddits I post has limitation to new users' post or not?

I have been trying to post something for the first time on a community I have been following for quite some time and the moderators removed it. I understand the reason is because I have low karma points but it there a method for me to check the requirement to post in a subreddit before I actually post something?

I'm in a subreddit where a mod spams their personal Discord, then flagrantly deletes comments that criticize the spamming. Is this really allowed? Or are they just getting away with breaking the rules?

The comments deleted just have random reasonings.

I commented "It's toxic that people who are commenting on your spam are getting removed as spam" which the spamming mod then quickly deleted with the auto-response "This chicanery is not allowed." And they keep deleting other users' critical comments.

Feels kind of crazy but maybe this is just how reddit goes?

Hi everyone. I’ve been helping moderate two women-centric subs, and we’ve recently been dealing with a significant influx of bots. One of our senior mods has also been inactive, so the rest of us have been trying to manage the situation by manually banning the bots, as we don’t currently have the permissions needed to install Bot Bouncer. I’m not sure what the best solution is at the moment.

We’re considering adding an AutoMod rule requiring users to have a verified email address before they can participate in the sub. Does anyone have experience with this? Has email verification helped reduce bots in your community, or are there other measures you’d recommend besides minimum karma requirements? Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

In some specific subs all my comments and/or posts instantly gets hidden, without notification. Why?

Not karma or age. I know this because I can check by viewing my comment and post in a incognito window and it will say "Comment no longer exists"

It's at least but not limited to the subs "interesting, ranting, and a few more"

Well not quite like court of law, it can be substantially shorter/less work put in it, obviously, but there must be reasoning and explanation behind it to prevent arbitrary discretion. Same reason the courts of law explain their rulings rather than just going," in this case, Smith wins, done." The Fifth Circuit court of appeals upheld law, but fifth circuit is bit of extreme as far as courts go, and Supreme Court put it on hold but did not suggest it is not constituional, just said that the district court must develop much stronger record, different standard must be applied to see weaither law was " undue burden" or not, so law is still not enforced, until the district court finishes job of building record likely in 2027, but then the 5th might again uphold it. Do you support that part of law as far as transparency goes or not?

When i ask for something or show something i did in blender communities, a moderator gives me a warning, and the day after it says moderation deleted my post, can someone explain what the rules actually are. PLEASE

Hi, I'll keep it brief.

There are three communities on Reddit dealing with a topic that really interests me. However, only one of them is somewhat well-moderated and active, whereas the other two are literally dead - only the mods themselves post once a month (always crossposting from the active sub). Problem is, the same 3 accounts (2 of them almost definitely belonging to 1 person) are moderators of all 3 subs. I'm certain this is a case of hoarding subs. They're holding on to the 2 dead ones to make sure they don't compete with the active one.

I'd very much like to moderate one of the dead subs, the one with the best name. But I'm almost certain that if I try to go through reddit request, the current mods would defend the sub. Clearly, they know to be active once a month to fool automated checks. Also, I think that if I report them, they'd simply dial up the activity for a month or so, then ease back into inactivity. Perhaps even repeatedly doing so over a few months (if I'm persistent).

So... what can I do? I really don't want to start a new sub, as the one with the best name is the one I want. It's an enormous shame to see it like this, especially since it never got the chance to take off (even though it was made over a decade ago).

In summary, help.

Basically, sometimes I’ll find I missed older content that is rule-breaking. Obviously, this needs removed. When you remove it, do you still attach a removal reason? Or do you just silently get rid of it? I feel like for older content, it might not be worth notifying the user.

I love learning things and feeling human on Reddit with everyone but I think like 90% of my comments get removed by the bot. Why tho?

I reported this sub already, but nothing happened. I promise you, this not an overreaction. It is an absolute cesspool. It's just weird Reddit allows that.

My post was removed and when I spoke to a mod it’s because the picture posted doesn’t show how it’s relevant to the subreddit criteria (posted a photo of the moon taken in the city of the subreddit). I mentioned in the post where it was taken and time.

Yet I showed other posts that break the same rules but the post are not deleted. The mods haven’t given any explanation so it seems like they can arbitrarily decide what can stay and what can’t despite the rules they’ve outlined.

Is this just how reddit works with no repercussions or is there a way to dispute how the mod is handling the situation?

Is it possible to have a subreddit karma requirement, but certain posts on the subreddit NOT have that karma requirement for comments? I'm a mod of a subreddit that does need to have some kind of karma requirement, but there are also a few research posts (by myself and few others) where it would be beneficial for those karma requirements to NOT exist for people leaving comments on these post. Thank you for your help!

I have a toy subreddit that I moderate and many times people will make posts asking for assistance on identifying a certain toy or part; my community is still small and I try to navigate users to a couple of other large subreddits that specifically deal with identifying toys. I am looking for help setting up an automated message that directs users to these communities when a certain “Post Flair” is selected.

I’ve tried muting them all but they are endless

Unfortunately I have been the target of harassment by a mod who may be obsessed/mentally unwell, after communicating twice for them to stop contacting me and blocking their account, they use modmail of all things to still talk to me. I replied via the modmail that circumventing their block is highly problematic, that I want the harassment to stop and that any further communication will supplement my harassment report to Reddit, and they still continue to DM me.

Does anyone have experience with situations like these and how effective Reddit is at intervening? I am getting extremely sick of getting notifications of this person and there seems no way for me to stop it.

I have been helping grow several small communities for subjects that I find interesting in order to drum up content that I want to see. None of them are very large as far as subreddits go but they have been slowly growing. I moderate a lot of communities because of this, but have been able to effectively moderate and liven them all up with rules, flair, and banners as well as linking similar subreddits up with one another in order to help spread exposure. I have read the term “Subreddit Collector” and would like to avoid that type of behavior.. what would you consider a “Subreddit Collector” vs someone who is trying to revive and grow inactive subreddits?

I recently had a post get taken down, is there any way for me to see why?

As I wait on the Reddit Admin team to review a MCOC Rule 5 violation I reported the other day, can I also report the pinned post itself as a Prohibited Transaction (where a mod is taking commission from a brand to pin a daily advertising post).

Or would that just go directly to the mod, instead of Reddit Admin? Thanks!

I contribute to a couple of subreddits regularly. One is based on posting as a show is running. I often get weird stuff happening, including having to close out of the thread and reddit and come back in to see what others have posted. This makes interaction and real-time comments very difficult.
