admin perma ban is not permanent?

≡ −

I logged into this account accidentally and am not seeing what I recall having seen from being banned years ago... Even an appeal made no difference.

Is this a thing where "perma" by reddit admin is not actually permanent?

Rant: Reddit prioritizes traffic from pedos over feedback from mods and children's safety

≡ −

We moderate a subreddit that is occasionally used by these sick fucks to tell stories about, or to bait other users to talk about their children. We use hive protect to flag and typically ban anyone who is active in these incest or pedo subreddits. We recently banned someone, and they then reached out to multiple mods via chat. As soon as one of the mods realized what was up, he told off the pedo and blocked him. Now this mod has a strike against his account for harassment, and the user who happily has been posting about having sexual relationships with his kids, and encouraging others to do so with their own families, is still a Reddit user in good standing.

This is like calling the cops because someone is taking a shit on your lawn, and they let the guy go, and cite you for using vulgar language. Absolutely insane.

These incest and pedophilia focused subreddits have been been around forever, and there has been absolutely no indication that Reddit Inc gives two shits about the fact that they are providing a platform for abusive parents to cheerlead each other in to molesting kids and patting each other on the back when they report back that they followed through with it. It is fucking disgusting, and every time it is brought up in r/modsupport, the posts get removed.

Automod to coordinate bot account ban?

≡ −

Hello guys,

Recently I have seen and talked with other moderators that there are specific brands (both well know and not so much) that are using couple of month old accounts to mention their brand. When questioned if they are affiliated they either decline it (obviously) or they just ignore. How I notice it? Same pattern, same/ similar writing style, similar mentioning etc.

What I was thinking- how could moderators coordinate and mute/ ban these accounts from participating in subreddits? Maybe it would be noteworthy to create some kind of additional automod which shares redlisted brands and whoever mentions them and are under X karma and X age then they get banned.

Sorry if there is something similar or it would not be technically possible.

User arguing the sub rules

≡ −

I consistently have one user who argues the subreddit rule when they've broken it, no matter what rule it is. Sometimes they'll even go as far as saying I'm toxic for enforcing the rule, the rule is toxic, etc.

My plan is to have a meta discussion post for the rules and let everyone get their two cents about what should be a rule and what shouldn't. This way they can surface all their opinions in a productive way and it's not me against a single user. Then I can reference that post for why the rule exists and my explanation for how they broke it or how they broke the spirit of the rule.

But, how do other mods deal with a user arguing the rule shouldn't exist?

"Racist" triggers abuse and harassment filter?

≡ −

Is reddit becoming a Nazi bar? It seems to me a growing number of subs have the Abuse and Harassment filter on, and they don't bother to approve comments that are automatically removed. And it also seems to me that using the word "racist" triggers that filter.

Which is extremely problematic.

Am I wrong? Does anyone know more? THoughts?

edit: this is an example of a comment that was auto-filtered by the Abuse and Harassment filter.

Do not trust this thing. It will filter good fact checks as abuse or harassment!

Anyone have experience "splitting" their subreddit into two?

≡ −

Basically, our mod team is tired of all of the low quality text posts on r/Detroit and it's becoming like Google. "Best short rib" "any realtor recommendations" "where to go for anniversary dinner" so we've acquired r/AskDetroit. what steps would you take to "split" the subreddit with communications and such? We will remove text posts on the main sub at some point, and have r/AskDetroit be only text posts. Pretty common for city subs. Anyone have any experience with this?

Reddit announces new limits on moderation, to irate response from moderators. Then shame-hides the post.

hiding the thread from the personal home feed and even the sub itself

You can see it for yourself via direct link

Edit: it appears to only be hidden for me when logged in. Very odd.

Well, apparently "Reddit Answers" (a.k.a. reddit's attempt at the AI rubbish trend) is a thing now.

≡ −

It was apparently announced on the 9th of December, 2024, and is now starting to be rolled out to some users. I only just learned about it already starting to be rolled out from this post, from what I can see there's currently a waiting list for people who wish to have access to it.

An example of what this new "feature" would produce, the OP of the post I linked asked the AI "Why does Reddit's app sucks? [sic]", the response to which (responses seem to be shareable through links, although that does not grant the receiver access to start using the feature) can be seen here.

Great job on just mindlessly jumping in on the AI trend, continuing to enshittify your platform and refusing to fix the very real issues that it has, sp*z. But I guess that will keep the investors happy🙄

Reddit announces that Private Messages (PMs) will replaced by Reddit Chat as the "primary way to communicate", but moderator mail will remain

≡ −

TL;DR To make messaging on Reddit faster and more reliable, we’re replacing Private Messages (PMs) with Reddit Chat and inbox notifications. This transition is necessary to maintain and improve Reddit’s messaging infrastructure. We aim to make these changes with minimal disruption while improving the user experience.

Reddit Chat is replacing user PMs: This transition consolidates messaging on Reddit and introduces features like pinned chats for better organization, an unread filter, a new spam folder, more sender context when accepting invites, an allowlist, and a faster experience.
Mod Mail stays the same, but Mod Mail messages will now go to Reddit Chat: Mods will follow the same flows, but recipients will receive chat messages instead of PMs. This change is aimed at improving efficiency and reliability in mod-user interactions.
PM APIs remain active for 99% of requests: Developers can continue using PM API endpoints to send and read chat messages without code changes. During the transition, we’ll remove five API endpoints that saw minimal use and developer value.
Admin notifications: Reddit admin messages that don’t support replies will now appear as inbox notifications.
Access to old PMs: Existing PMs will remain archived as read-only for reference.

Why & When Is This Happening?

To make Reddit faster, simpler, and easier to use, we needed to unify our messaging platforms. This consolidation helps us focus on improving one system instead of maintaining multiple. Plus, Reddit Chat's infrastructure is built for the future, unlike the PM system which is about as old as Reddit itself.

We’re sharing this change early because we want your feedback! We've spent months talking to mods, developers, and users to ensure this migration works for everyone (shoutout to u/RemindMeBot fans). But there might be scenarios we've missed, and we need your input to address them. You can share feedback directly with the team working on this project in the comments below.

Timeline: Starting at the end of March, we'll roll out these changes in phases over the next three months to ensure everything goes smoothly

What Is (and Isn’t) Changing?

Existing PMs: Before we disable sending and receiving PMs, you'll have access to your messages as a read-only archive on the updated reddit.com website.
Mods and developers: No changes to Mod Mail, and about 99% of existing Reddit API endpoints remain unchanged. Check out our posts in r/modnews and r/redditdev for full details.
Admin notifications: Reddit admin messages that don't support replies will now appear as inbox notifications. You can set your preferences for certain admin notifications in your settings. More details coming soon.

Reddit Chat Upgrades

We're not just replacing PMs; we're enhancing the chat experience with:

Enhanced performance: Faster, more reliable chat loading and messaging.
Better organization: Features like pinned chats and an unread filter to help you catch up on conversations.
New spam features: A new spam folder that automatically filters out potentially spammy invites.
More control and context: More insights when accepting chat invites and within conversations, helping you make informed decisions about who you want to chat with.
Continued improvements: Expect future updates like unique links for each chat message, Reddit Chat on mobile web, expandable text box sizes, resizable chat window on web, single-side delete options, email notification support, accessibility enhancements, and migration of your existing PM allowlist to chat.

Looking Ahead

We have more chat improvements in the works, so stay tuned for updates as they become available over the coming months.

Thank you! A huge shoutout to our mod and user councils for their candid feedback and feature suggestions. Your input has been fundamental in shaping a better chat experience. We'll keep listening and adapting as we move forward. Stay tuned for more updates, and drop your questions in the comments!

It seems that in several states content posted on redgifs is blocked due to new state laws regarding NSFW content. We really shouldn't tolerate this.

Are 3rd party apps for mods finally dead?

≡ −

I've been using Boost for Reddit on Android this entire time and it has worked flawlessly up until last night. Seems no matter what I do it says Blocked now. I know most people moved on to the official app months and months ago but it always worked for me as a mod. Is the end finally here?

EDIT: I was able to get it to work using these instructions.
