r/ModSupport

One of the subs I mod, I've been regularly answering modmail for the last month, but when I open the mod tab it lists me as "inactive". How does that work?

Screenshot Deleted?

Can someone please explain to me why my screenshot of some information on a website was removed? I was sharing the screenshot in a comment so the person could see the info easily without having to find it on the webpage.

I am the sub owner and I allowed images in comments and approved the comment...

AI auto enforcement is stuck ON and is overrunning our modqueue

The new auto enforcement feature is bugged in r/GOONED. I turned off all of the other auto enforcement rules but was unable to do so for rule 5. It says auto enforcement is unavailable for this rule and greys out the switch but the switch is in the ON position.

There are wayyyy too many false positives atm and our modqueue is completely swamped. Please turn this feature off for our community. thanks

I'm dealing with a lot of bots/people sharing CSAM links on my subreddit for the past few months. Almost all of them get filtered due to telegram and mega links being banned sitewide, but some without direct links are getting through. What is the best way to control this?

You can probably guess what subreddit it is from my moderator list. Is the best way to solve this by adding basic karma and age filters?

Do I have to report every post and account for CSAM? The accounts almost always get suspended without getting reported, but the posts don't get removed by reddit

My subreddit has been banned even though I've been an active Reddit user

As mentioned above my small subreddit (r/JustBigAss) got banned due to being unmoderated. I've been removing post that were not appropriate for that sub, but it was a small subreddit so there was not much removing happening. I was the only mod. Why did that happened and can I get that subreddit back?

Pattern of abusive DMCA reports by a single individual affecting multiple subreddits - an update

Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/s/NsRh8xxMkP

The extent of the misrepresentation is now evident from the fact that something a user created has been targeted and removed under a copyright claim.

A recent takedown on a subreddit I moderate targeted a user-created painting, which was removed following a copyright report claiming it originated from a performer’s OnlyFans. This is not a borderline case. The content is clearly original artwork created by a Reddit user and has no plausible connection to any OnlyFans source.

This demonstrates that the problem is no longer limited to misattributing studio content. The reporting is now extending to entirely unrelated, user-generated work, based on the same incorrect ownership claims.

At that point, the issue is not interpretation of copyright but the absence of any meaningful validation before action is taken. It allows unrelated content to be removed simply because a name is invoked in a report.

I understand that the standard response in these cases is for the original poster to submit a counter-notice. However, that does not address the underlying issue here. Not to mention the long turnaround time means content remains down while the same incorrect claims continue to be filed. This effectively shifts the burden onto users to correct repeated false reports rather than preventing the misuse itself. I am also familiar with cases that highlight the delay and ineffectiveness of the current process. In one instance (on a different subreddit I moderate), a post made by the actual studio that created the content was taken down following a report by this individual (on behalf of the performer - check this insane screenshot: https://i.postimg.cc/SRF9frCg/Chappa.jpg) and was only reinstated several months later (taken down in January, counternotice immediately filed, post was reinstated in April). This illustrates that even when the rightful source is clear, the correction process is slow, while the initial removal is immediate. During that time, the content remained unavailable and the same reporting pattern continues.

Why is reddit not doing anything about this? This is a unique problem affecting NSFW subreddits.

I also want to note that when I previously raised this issue here, I did not receive any direct follow-up or opportunity to discuss the matter in detail. Given the continued escalation and the impact across multiple communities, clearer engagement or guidance would be appreciated.

P.S. please check the screenshot to understand the gravity of the situation. I was given permission by the poster to share the screenshot here.

How to ban a user that deleted the only post on our subreddit?

Got modmail from the automod about a post being removed due to being reported twice. Based on the title it is something that is not allowed to be posted but I can't verify that because the post has been deleted and all it says up at the top is the user is u/deleted. In the modmail it shows the user's username, but when I check through that they only have four posts that I can see on their page. None of which lead to our subreddit.

how to deal with users harassing me and my sub?

the problem in my subreddit is, people violate rules all the time, and if I remove a comment or a post, they become angry and leave a string of angry comments about evil mods on our subreddit, and start cursing in the modmail.

Once I banned a user for cursing us in the modmail because we removed his comment, I was on my phone and I was new to moderating and couldn't find the option to include a comment removal reason, so I just used the 'no specific reason' button, this guy basically went to other subreddits and posted about how evil my subreddit/the mods are and started throwing some serious accusations at us.

Once I banned a user for repeatedly being rude to other users, he basically went to all my previous posts from my history and left serious allegations against me

I want to know from other mods here how exactly do you all remove comments and posts that violate your subreddit rules without having people threatening to sue you daily/creating drama on other subreddits about your sub

18+ removed, but subreddit still shows “Unreviewed Content” on mobile web

Hello,

I’m posting publicly about an issue affecting r/casino2kitalia.

I had previously contacted support to request the removal of the 18+ / NSFW label, and I received a confirmation saying the requested changes had been made.

However, there still seems to be a problem on mobile web.

When opening the subreddit from a mobile browser, the page still shows this warning:

“Unreviewed Content – This community has not been reviewed and might contain content inappropriate for certain viewers. View in the Reddit app to continue.”

Because of this, users cannot normally access the subreddit from mobile web unless they open it in the Reddit app.

At the moment, this is what I’m seeing:

  • the subreddit appears readable from desktop
  • on mobile web it is still blocked by the “Unreviewed Content” warning
  • this happens in standard mobile browsers as well, not only inside messaging apps

Could someone please verify whether the subreddit is still internally flagged as mature / unreviewed on mobile web, or whether this may be a cache / propagation issue?

Subreddit: r/casino2kitalia

I can provide screenshots if needed.

Thank you.

Permissions changed?

I recently had a situation where I reached out to the admin to explain that we no longer had a lead moderator and asking for permission to take over that job.

It was granted, and I found a fantastic mod to join the community and help and had no problem with making some of the desperately needed .

However, when I went to make a few more changes today, I found out I no longer have everything permissions. The new mod didn’t change it and I didn’t change it.

How to inform my community of, say for example, a policy change?

Hi,

In the past I've made posts and highlighted them. Slowly over time each new post has gained less and less traction. It feels like algorithms prefer content over mod announcements, which is very backwards. The sad part is that I'm trying to communicate vital info about the sub's functionality.

Sometimes I try to poll for opinions on a policy, sometimes it's about a policy change. These updates happen quarterly-ish so not very often at all - it's not like I'm spamming the sub with the mod badge + highlights.

Is my experience reality (algorithms hide mod posts) or is this just an illusion? What could I do to remedy the situation?

Thank you in advance!

Blocking a specific picture

Every day, at least once, a different user posts the same spam pic in one of the subreddits I moderate. Obviously I ban the user and take it down but it comes back.

Is there anyway to ban a specific picture from being posted?

We're having issues in r/fragrance. Our guest can't answer questions in the AMA

This started happening in the middle of their AMA. They started getting error messages when they select the reply button.

I've seen that error message myself this morning.

Is there a reddit server issue this morning? I've checked r/bugs and it appears to be something but it isn't concrete.

For now I asked our guest to refresh and try to answer questions but honestly its a bad look and souring the experience

Can an Admin let us know what is happening?

Thank you

You should be able to natively pin any user’s comment in a thread.

That’s it. That’s the post.

Probably one string of code, can think of no reason why this isn’t natively built in?

I followed the instructions on how to create a mod application form, created the questions, and clicked the button to turn it blue (active) at https://www.reddit.com/mod/skeptic/recruiting/ .

However when I go to

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Should I ban this user?

Hello! I am a mod for a very small sub Reddit about a old children's show. Twice now, a user posted a toy in relations to the show. At first, I thought it was innocent and adorable and I even wanted to know where to get that toy. But after scrolling on the users page, the toy comes off as a fetish for them. I don't wanna make assumptions about anyone and my sub is so small. It probably doesn't even matter. But it's weird. This is a children's show and I really have a bad vibe from it. On their page, people have also made comments of their account being suspicious. They haven't broken any rules, technically, but to be fair I have very little rules for this sub.
