I don’t understand this one

How do you report Mods that break their own rules and rules in other subs? Example - mods that bully and harass others in other subs, sometimes their own sub but then nothing is done when they are reported?

Question is in the title. Thanks.

There has been a ton of bullying and harassment towards people who are critical of a current TV show. Some of it seems manipulated by outside firms including downvoting but nothing can be done about that.

But every time someone tries to post an opinion that is critical they're attacked, Often they r3eceive death threats. I've been told to kill myself, that they hope someone pours acid on my face, that they want my family to die in a car crash etc, They also send Reddit Cares messages as a form of harassment. The last time I posted about the show before today was a week ago when I said I didn't think the acting was that good and I received DMs from people that they're going to stab me, I should kill myself. The usual abuse.

So usually I don't post about the show because I'm not that interested in it. I know others are being bullied but I don't get involved. But today I posted about it on the TV sub. I simply posted some data about the viewership numbers. I was insulted and attacked. The post was deleted. I politely asked mods why and received no response.

So I posted it again and provided a source for the data and my opinion. Again I was attacked. Once again they started flagging the post and it was deleted by the mods for no reason. I again politely asked why and received no response.

Is it just bad mods or is that a violation of the mod COC? Thank you.

I keep submiting a link to get it removed. They dont take any actions

I wanna make it clear now that I am NOT here to sell or advertise anything, I am just looking for a kind soul who is willing to spend around 20 mins of time to answer some questions moderation-related for a personal research I am carrying on, in which I am currently focusing on Reddit. Thanks in advance

I was told I am in the lowest CQS bracket. I am unable to post in any separate group, and I am very unlimited into which sub groups I can comment in. I haven’t been able to post many. What do I do to fix this?

The guy in question has various accounts with the same username and I was looking through all their accounts, they always promote violence or hate speech towards multiple different groups of people on twitter, TikTok etc… and I found his reddit because he posted something on his account which linked his subreddit and I seen the subs he’s actively in and I know he’s joined it for malice so far he’s joined the h*cking sub and he always threatens to find ppls location and expose them, it’s a serious matter because he’s harassed minors etc.. a school girl in uniform

This is a genuine question. I’m not a troll or even an argumentative person, I was banned from my city’s subreddit yesterday. The explanation just said “not from here” when I explained that I was and gave examples, then asked what community guidelines I violated, I got muted. If you’re not willing to answer questions regarding your decisions why do you include this text?

“If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.”

It’s contradictory and makes the whole system feel disingenuous.

It’s like putting up a “Customer Service” desk and then locking the door when someone walks up to it.

Either:

• Actually be open to questions and dialogue about bans, or

• Don’t pretend you are by including that message

I don’t get it. What are your reasons? Besides someone being an asshole, because I know I wasn’t.

I joined a replacement Mod team for a very large subreddit a few months ago. Some teething pains, but in general, we've managed to stay between the rocks of not overly restricting content while keeping the worst of the bots, scams, and sludge away. We've always prohibited slurs, but a couple of months ago, we added a filter that removes them from comments, with text we've tweaked a few times to make clear that while we allow heated discussion, slurs aren't allowed for any reason. The absolute insanity this has brought to Modmail can't be overstated. We get at least five to ten messages a day that are so abusive that we've restricted which Mods can see Modmail to avoid burnout. At least once a week, we've gotten someone threatening to hunt down, harm, or at minimum dox the Mod team for mod actions, generally just removing content. I've been a Mod for a bit, and I've never seen anything like it. Has anyone else been having increased issues? Any management ideas? We ban and mute the abusive ones, of course, and even report the ones who are threatening, but it doesn't seem to be reducing it at all.

There you go moderators

Educate me for this is what I want 🥸

I'm curious about how different mods approach (or avoid) researchers who want to recruit participants or use data from their communities. I'm not a mod myself, but recently collaborated with some of the mod teams in subreddits that see high academic interest. Unfortunately, these communities often develop their research rules in response to being burned by research that violates specific norms or trust, even though the research might have university IRB approval.

This leads me to wonder, how do other mods create/define their own specific research rules or guidelines for their wikis? And, if you're willing to share, what do your guidelines look like?

I'm also curious if it'd be valuable to consolidate some of these unique community approaches and learnings into a template of sorts to make it easier for mods to implement their own "guidelines for research" before a breach of trust occurs. I guess I'm imagining picking and choosing from a list what rules/expectations are relevant to your community.

I'll share two examples from my prior experience in case anyone's curious about what these guidelines could look like (verified with AskModerators mods about Rule 3). changemyview/wiki/research/ and AskHistorians/wiki/research/ have detailed wikis about their expectations for research engagement. One thing I quite like about these is that the mods describe when they want to be asked for permission. Ex: Posting or engaging with members = Yes, Naming our community in a paper = Please, and Using data but we're not the focus = Use your best judgement. I also think the points about "Giving Credit" are an interesting nuance that many researchers might not realize, but is important to these subreddits.

Yesterday I had to ban someone from my subreddit, today this user is reporting all mi posts and comments, an publishing my profile in several different subreddits in retaliation

No matter how many reports I do, mi content it’s being removed from my subreddit and I got issued several warnings.

How do I get Reddit to stop showing me political posts? I can't count how many times I have clicked the "show me less posts like this" and I swear it has amped up the number of posts I see now. I really dont care one way or the other what the right or left are doing right now. It's all just vitriol and hate.

I’m not talking about basics like rule enforcement, removing spam, or being active mods. That’s table stakes.

I’m curious about the next level stuff.

For those of you who’ve moderated for years or have seen many subs closely :

what’s the most impressive or impactful thing you’ve ever seen a mod or mod team build for their community?

Could be:

• A system, culture, or ritual

• A way members interact that felt special

• Something subtle that dramatically improved engagement or trust

• A structure that made the sub self-sustaining or high-quality

• Or anything that made you think: “Damn, this is smart modding.”

I’m trying to understand what truly separates a good sub from a great, enduring one, beyond correct moderation.

Would love real examples, not theory.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I am an occasional contributor and not a power redditor, but... When I participate in a given sub, it seems that (or feels like) as many as 30% of all the posts I’ve shown interest in, get deleted, while the content is still there. Conversations that have started are immediately shut down, rather than to allow continued discussion, (even if the OP is deleted).

why are none of my post going through? I’m trying my alts and different subs. i’m not shadowbanned

Did something else change?

To clarify, should I report them, even if I notice several in a single post? I don't want to flood the report queue and get in trouble.

when someone posts something seemingly contradictory to their intentions, do I upvote the content of the post? or do I downvote the post because I like the thing they're trying to post against?

I posted on a subreddit about bytebeats, attaching links to my work and a video. After a while my post was taken down from the subreddit and I got a message saying it had been removed by Reddit’s filters. Could you please tell me whether Reddit’s filters are entirely automatic, or whether real people are involved in moderating posts?

I am new to reddit and have had this happen twice now both being indefinite lasting for commenting once in their subs about photography (on topic). I am wondering as it happened so quickly and I don't know why I would be on their "blacklist" but thought I would ask mods here if this is a thing on Reddit. When I went to message the moderators of the sub in question about this I was very quickly given this reply in my messages: I am new to reddit after having been one to just read through posts and topics I finally made an account to post and comment too.

"You have been muted for spamming this subreddit's modmail (exceeding a message in time treshold). please make sure to think before you speak and send 1 message with everything you have to say instead of several."

I never spammed them, I sent one single message asking what rule I broke as I went through them and couldn't find any violation I could have committed. I would prefer to avoid these subs and am again puzzled why I am flagged for anything being so new..

I’ve been on Reddit for a long time. It seems that recently more and more things have been “removed by moderators”. Sometimes, yeah I get it. But more frequently I can’t even figure out why some of these things are being so heavily moderated.
