General Approved post shows up as deleted, but logged twice as approved

3 Upvotes

(on desktop, using firefox w/ Ublock plugin)

I've run into this bug twice in the past year: I approve a post, but checking later it shows up that I deleted it. The the post log and mod/subname/log both double entry the time I approve the post, and there's no log entry of me ever deleting the post or the post getting flagged by reddit or users.

When I restore the post the log records an "ignore reports" entry and an "approved" entry, not doubled up.

Other "approved post" entries occasionally show up as double-logged minus the deleting posts part of the bug. As far as I can tell, I'm not seeing this double-up entry on any of the other mods' actions.

Tools Reputation Filter: Comments - Available in one sub config but not another.

0 Upvotes

[DESKTOP][WINDOWS][FIREFOX]

I mod a handful of subreddits. I just noticed that for one of them, the option to enable Reputation Filter for comments is not available--using neither sh. nor www . It doesn't even appear.

I am able to configure post filtering but not comments, while in other subreddits I am given both options.

Why might this be happening?

Edit: Just to add, I have posted this in r/modsupport but was told to check here. I found the below post from 2y ago, but it received no replies.

I set up mod recruitment for my sub and turned on the "recruit new mods" toggle in mod tools, but the form is not showing up. Like if I open the link while logged into a different Reddit account the page says "You can’t apply to moderate this community right now." What gives?

Users can I have a 'creep list' page on my wiki? or other tools to deal with this

0 Upvotes

I'm considering setting up a spin-off sub of sorts from one I'm active in, based on community demand. Unfortunately, despite being wholly SFW our hobby is a fairly common kink/fetish and there is a big problem with creepy unsolicited photo requests and sexual comments in DMs following activity in this kind of sub. Because I've been active in this space for a while so have had my fair share of bad experiences, and because word gets around in comment threads, I have a list of accounts I have blocked for this reason.

Is there any rule that wouldn't let me publish this list to the new sub's wiki so that people may pre-emptively prevent these people from seeing their pictures and DMing them? Or any other suggestions on how to manage this, aside from ban whackamole as they make themselves known publically (which would still allow them to see the content, too)

We are mostly women with a fair sized under 18 audience too and I feel like I have a duty of care to warn people when I have concrete evidence of strange behaviour. A lot of these accounts have already been flagged/outed in comment sections in other subs but there's no centralised system for recording them, so they get access to new people joining every day.

TIA!

General Less than a month later and we are facing the same issue again: Repeated bans on moderation accounts making it impossible to run our community r/Business_China

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone and Reddit admins,

Honestly, we are at our wits' end and really need some human eyes on this.

Ever since May, our mod team has been stuck in an endless loop of automated shadowbans and suspensions. It feels like every time we make a routine post or try to manage our subreddit, an automated filter triggers and locks another account.

We’ve been sending appeals through the official forms every couple of weeks for months now, but we haven't received a single reply or explanation.

It’s getting impossible to run the community like this. We spent years building up trust and legitimate karma on our original accounts, and now they are all practically unusable:

u/Fides_china
u/Milana_china
u/milanakiko

Trying to moderate an active community with brand-new, disposable accounts just doesn't work — new accounts have zero credibility with users and immediately get flagged by the system anyway. It’s genuinely exhausting, and we just want to know what’s going on so we can fix it.

We always aim to follow Reddit’s content policies 100%. Could someone on the admin team please manually check these accounts, let us know what’s triggering the filters, and help us restore our original profiles so we can get back to normal moderation?

Really appreciate any help or guidance with this. Thanks!

Someone is upset that we called them out for ableist behaviour, and are now falsely reporting posts that mention them, in hopes of the post being taken down. We can’t ban them because reports are anonymous, and banned users can still see and report content.

Tools Subreddit automatically preventing certain words from being posted (discord)

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a mod on a NSFW subreddit (r/hypnohookup), and have found that users are unable to submit posts containing the word "discord" in the text body. When creating a post that does so, a flag pops up that says "You may not have "discord" in your post body". I don't see a rule banning this in my AutoMod configuration, and there are no rules in "Automations" for "Post Guidance" either. For "Safety Filters", we do have "Crowd Control" set to on and moderate, and the Harassment filter on as well, but none of this seems to be creating this particular rule.

It feels like I'm missing some place where this automation/rule is being set up, but I'm having quite some difficulty finding it. I'm using Desktop, firefox/chrome, and checking both the old.reddit as well as new reddit access for automod, but just not finding what I'm looking for. Could anyone point me to the right place?

EDIT: Solved! Many thanks to u/amyaurora and u/thepottsy for their guidance below.

I am at my wits end trying to avoid similar pictures or screenshots being posted again. When there is a viral meme or video on instagram it gets posted repeatedly by users who are not aware that it was posted before.
I tried using dupedown, but it doesnt seem to identify images when there is a slight change in pixels.

General Is it ethical for a moderator to publicly share a user's AI-generated User Summary?

0 Upvotes

I'm curious what other moderators think about this.

As I understand it, Reddit's AI-generated User Summary is a moderation tool intended to give moderators additional context about a user's activity and behavior when reviewing them.

Let's say a moderator takes that User Summary and publicly posts or screenshots it in the same subreddit, where thousands of regular users can see it, potentially while discussing or criticizing that specific user.

Even if the summary only contains information derived from publicly available Reddit activity, would you consider it appropriate or ethical for a moderator to publicly share it?

My concern is that there seems to be a distinction between information that users can manually find by browsing someone's public profile and an internal moderation tool that Reddit specifically provides to moderators. Regular users don't necessarily have access to the same generated summary.

I'm not necessarily asking whether this violates a specific Reddit rule. I'm more interested in the moderation ethics and expectations around tools like this.

Would you consider publicly sharing a user's AI User Summary:

  1. A legitimate use of publicly available information?

  2. An inappropriate use of a moderator-only tool?

  3. Acceptable only in certain circumstances, such as explaining a moderation decision?

  4. Something that should remain within the moderation team regardless of the circumstances?

I'm especially interested in hearing from moderators who currently have access to User Summaries and how you treat that information.

(Android.)

General New subreddit is being censored/restricted and I don't even know why?

0 Upvotes

I just made it 2 weeks ago. Sent a link to a friend on iOS. Screenshots aren't allowed here (???) so I'll copy/paste the message.

> Unreviewed Content: This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the reddit app to continue.

Followed by two buttons: "View in App" and "No, take me to home"

"View in App" leads to the reddit app, not the subredit. Both buttons lead to the same thing.

General AI User Summary disappeared on iOS — any way to get it back?

0 Upvotes

I’m a moderator using the Reddit iOS app, and the AI-generated User Summary that used to appear when I tapped on a user is completely gone.

I’m opening the normal moderator user profile panel, and I still see:

Mod actions
Activity
User Mod Log
Edit User Flair
Ban User
Add Mod Note
Send Mod Mail

But the User Summary no longer appears at all.
I tested this on multiple users, including an account that is 9 years old with about 17.6k comment karma, so it doesn’t seem to be caused by low activity or a new account.

I used to see this feature regularly on iOS, and Reddit’s documentation still seems to indicate that User Summary is part of the mobile moderator profile panel.

Has anyone else lost this feature recently?
More importantly, is there any way to turn it back on, or is this currently a Reddit-side bug/A-B test?

Answered Automation priority

6 Upvotes

Desktop/Android

I'm. Trying to set up automations or automod to require body text in order to post but it seems like no matter what I do if the body is empty it just doesn't do the check for the body requirements.

The work around I came up for this was to require something in the title or Body with one rule then use another one to forbid the use of the word in the title in the making the body the only place that the word could exist.

But that means that the title has an arbitrary restriction on it purely just to force the user to type in the body.

I don't want to restrict what can be used in the title and changing the priority order of the automation doesn't seem to change anything.

I'm still learning automod and stuff so like is there an obvious solution in missing?

General Small Automod Question (Syntax/Combine Multiple Actions)

2 Upvotes

PC/Desktop, Android:

New mod here, apologies for the likely simple question. We're working on setting up and cleaning some rather basic Automod rules, and we've decided that too many people miss Reddit messages on notifications and have decided to have automod also leave a comment.

However, the Automod documentation doesn't have any examples of combining multiple actions into one string, so it's already a bit message having the following:

message: |
    blahblahblah
comment: |
    blahblahblah

Is there any way to combine both of these actions into one ruleset via syntax? Something akin to:

message,comment: |
    blahblahblah

Thanks for any time spent reading and responding. :)
