As we all know, Reddit Mods don't get paid monetarily. We are all volunteers!

It would be really nice if we did get some sort(s) of compensation though, so here are my suggestions:

FREE PREMIUM: I understand Reddit would probably lose a bit of money by giving out so many free premiums, so perhaps limiting it to people who moderate communities that meet a certain member count or who have been been moderating on Reddit for "x" amount of time?

FREE MERCH: Some free merch would be nice! Shirts, pins, stickers, bottles, hats, etc! Also some holiday gifts (like sewould be nice too! Also maybe sending out free stuff for cake days?

FREE AVATAR COSMETICS: Give us some free cosmetics for our avatar! Maybe make versions of the Mod World merch but for our avatars (and merch from other events)?

FREE PROFILE TROPHIES: Give us some profile trophies! Perhaps ones for having moderated on Reddit for a year, 5 years, 10 YEARS! Holiday themed ones (Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc!) Maybe have some be rewards for completing quests?

There is a limit of 15 posts that can be added to the mod training queue. For some subs, that doesn't feel like enough.

I'd like enough slots for new mods to see a mix of posts we would approve and remove, and that cover the rules that are most tricky to mod and/or that come up the most.

Also, a notification or something if a user deletes a post that is in the queue may help us maintain the queue.

I have not actually posted content from my blog like Reddit Pro recommends because I know that it will get removed by Automod for being 'self promotion' So why does Reddit pro recommend that I post it to the subreddits that I know AuroMod will ban it from?

Reddit Pro: “Hey, this subreddit would be perfect for your article. Click here to share it!”

Reddit AutoModerator: “Absolutely not. Removed.”

Me: “You two do work for the same company, right?”

How much time, effort and processing power could be saved by letting these 2 guys have a chat first?

• Reddit Pro knows the article URL, subject and proposed destination.
• The subreddit has published rules.
• AutoModerator has configured filters that determine whether submissions are removed.
• Reddit has historical moderation outcomes that could help improve recommendations.

It seems that these 2 need to be in the same 'office'.

My suggestion is Change to Report options to include Moderator code of conduct so that users can report violations of moderator code of conduct more easily instead of having to go through several webpages to find the option.

Hi team,

I've been testing Rules Hub Auto-Enforcement and love how accurately the AI evaluates posts against our community rules—especially the specific explanation it generates for moderators showing how the post violated the rule (e.g., "Auto enforced - Rule 1: <Rule Name>" followed by the 1–2 sentence AI explanation of what in the post broke the rule).

The Problem / Missing Workflow

Right now, when Rules Hub auto-enforces/removes a post: 1. No Removal Reason / Comment is sent to the user explaining which rule they broke or why their post broke it. 2. That second line—the AI explanation of how the post violated the rule—is only visible to moderators inside the Shreddit UI banner. Because users don't see that context, they are left guessing why their post was removed (leading to unnecessary modmail appeals), or moderators still have to manually step in to attach a removal reason and copy-paste the explanation.

What We Tried (Building a Devvit App to Bridge the Gap)

We built a Devvit app (rules-hub-reply) to listen for Rules Hub removelink actions, link them 1-to-1 with our Saved Removal Reasons, attach the native removal note, and automatically post a sticky removal comment combining: - Our Saved Removal Reason for that rule - The Rules Hub headline (Auto enforced - Rule X: ...) - The Rules Hub AI explanation of how the post violated the rule

However, we hit an API wall: none of the public/Devvit moderation APIs expose that second line (the AI explanation).

Technical Details for the Engineering Team

When Rules Hub auto-removes a post (logged under moderator reddit with action removelink): - Where the AI explanation currently lives: In Shreddit's GraphQL schema (PostModerationInfo / GetPreviousActions / ModQueueItemPost), the AI explanation is stored in: postInfoById.moderationInfo.modQueueReasons[].description.markdown (with icon: "AUTO_ENFORCEMENT" and title: "Auto enforced - Rule X: ..."). - Where it is missing: 1. Mod Log (Moderation.AboutLog / ModAction): details contains "Auto enforced - Rule X: <Rule Name>", but description is empty (""). 2. Mod Notes (ModNote.GetNotes): modActionData.details has the rule headline, description is empty. 3. Post Info (LinksAndComments.Info / PostV2): modQueueReasons is not mapped to the PostV2 protobuf or legacy REST fields. 4. ModQueue Trigger (modQueueTriggers): type is "AUTO_ENFORCEMENT" and message has the rule headline, but details is null.

Proposed Solutions (Either or Both Would Be Huge!)

1. Native Rules Hub Setting: Add an option in Rules Hub Auto-Enforcement to automatically attach a linked Saved Removal Reason and include the AI-generated violation explanation in the removal comment/message to the user.
2. Expose the AI Explanation to Devvit / Mod Log: Populate the description field on the removelink ModAction / ModLog entry (or expose moderationInfo.modQueueReasons in @devvit/public-api on the Post object / ModAction trigger) so Devvit moderation apps can include the AI explanation in automated removal comments and workflows.

Thanks for considering this—having that specific AI explanation included in the removal feedback would save moderators a ton of time and make removals much clearer for users!

Muting is a tool that only benefits abusive mods, as it allows them to ban users and not contest the ban. The right to a defense is a fundamental principle of law; everyone has the right to defend themselves against a ban and challenge it. No one should be deprived of this right.

If a user violates the rules, they should be punished according to Reddit's rules. However, the option to permanently mute users only helps abusive mods avoid having to respond to their unfounded bans.

spez mentioned they wanted subreddits to run their own business models and it just popped in my head.

For context, I moderate subreddit(s) related to a medical entrance examination, and we get a lot of posts related to paid promotions. Like a lot- a lot. I am very anti-promotions, because I think my community should not have to watch ads on the subreddit too when they already watch ads on the app.

Most of the promotions I get mod-mailed for promotions are from someone offering tution services, or some book publishing company, and so far I have rejected everyone of them without thinking one second.

But I don't hate money, and neither does reddit (obv).

Instead of gathering data for peronalised ads, where reddit doesn't even know for sure if its the right ad for the right user, why should the ads no go to the community?

Like food related community sets to advertise only on food subreddits, book related companies only go to promote their product on student related subreddits.

This combined with locale based advertisement would be much more precise, while strenthing the mod team. Obviously power mods need to be checked (they are still a thing, and I greately dislike them)

But its just an idea from spez's statement when discussing "money for mods" in the AMA.

Thhey just have to reserve a percentage of ad spots for this thing to roll and give it a try. Its much more personalised, much more precise and also lucrative for advertises as they know their ads are landing where their primary consumers are.

When a post receives a certain number of these reports as set by each subreddit admins, an AI bot will read the linked article and rewrite the headline to eliminate the clickbait-ness.

Any post that only links to an outside site should be blocked unless a summary of the content is added in the description. Redditors will often do it in the comments "saved you a click"

It will block a lot of clickbait or at least make it ineffective.

The idea is simple as it sounds; you can already send pictures in chats but you can't send videos. To me which is weird since you can send videos in posts but you can't send videos in chats. The benefits? People would have more freedom to send their media through chats since you can do more things through videos than simple photos.

Being a part of a few subreddits, sometimes there are just posts under flairs that do not interest me whatsoever or I don't even want to see at all. I know I can scroll past, but when most of the posts are under that flair it gets irritating scrolling past so many of them just to finally come across something else.

I don't want to lose the ability to sort the feed by picking a singular flair or having to go through all flairs separately that do interest me only because 1-2 of them do not but sadly have the most posts under them.

Just wish there was a way to pick which flairs and thus posts under them we wish for to not appear on the feed when scrolling through a subreddit.

I can understand Reddit needs oversight and policing against bots, but isn't Reddit a site for information and discourse? Once a post gets a certain amount of positive comments, likes, and traction, why not simply LEAVE IT ALONE!

Once discourse gains traction, most Redditers DO NOT care who or what started the post. The sudden "post removed by moderator" feels like someone shut down a conversation in mid sentence. It is very unpleasant.

How about, if the comments and discourse becomes positive and engaging, simply LEAVE IT ALONE!!? Would not that encourage people to participate?

This has been a point of frustration for many Redditers, but posting or commenting about this is difficult as most sites do not consider this point valid or allowable. How can we get this point across?

Pls let us attach new images to the main body of a post

Currently, changes made to Regex requirements (and several other critical subreddit settings under Content Controls) are not recorded in the Mod Log.

If a moderator modifies, breaks, or adds incorrect regex strings or configs, there is zero audit trail to see who made the change, when it happened, or what was altered.

Please add Mod Log entries whenever subreddit configuration, especially Regex and post requirements is updated.

My account is fairly new. Pretty early on, I started getting culture war posts in my main feed. Since I don't like getting sucked into that, each time a post like that would appear in my feed, I would just mute the whole sub. What I found was that this actually increased the amount of similar posts that were getting suggested to me.

The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the algorithm is counting muting a sub as "positive" engagement. I feel as though it should work the other way around: If you mute a sub, subs that are similar to that one should have a lower chance of appearing in your feed.

I've been frustrated about this for a while.

Sometimes I find something I want to read or comment on, but I lock my phone and come back to it later.

When I reopen Reddit, I can actually see where I left off for a fraction of a second before the app throws me back to the home feed. I then have to dig through my history just to find the post again.

And if I was in the middle of typing a comment? Well, that comment is gone unless I remembered to save it beforehand.

My idea is simple: Reddit should remember exactly where I left off, even after the app has been closed or running in the background. Unfinished comments should also be saved automatically.

I shouldn't have to search through my history or lose what I was writing just because I put my phone away for a while.

Thanks.

When I'm searching online for a random topic on mobile and click open a reddit post, after a brief moment a pop up promoting the reddit app will show up completely blocking me from the page. I get that platforms want to promote their mobile apps, but at least provide an option to close that pop up so I can finish whatever I was reading up on.

I usually come across reddit posts from a general google search. That one post I click open is almost never my final destination, so it deeply frustrates me that reddit is forcing me to navigate away. I would literally close the tab and reopen again to continue reading instead of opening it in app.

• Self-deleted: karma removed from your total after 360 days
• Mod-removed: karma removed after 360 days. If it's re-approved on appeal, you keep it.

Important part: The pending amount is only visible to YOU in your own karma breakdown. Publicly, your total just updates after the period. No one else sees how much you have pending removal.

This way you can actually recover from a heavily downvoted post you deleted, people who farm and delete don't keep the karma long-term, and people who have a lot removed aren't publicly shamed for it. This won't let you dodge a ban by deleting your content.

Should the pending breakdown be in settings or on your private profile view?

It would be nice if Reddit would catch up with YouTube and other platforms on video playback. Please add:

Tap and hold to temporarily speed the video up to 2x

A proper speed menu (1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x)

This would make watching longer videos way better. Right now Reddit videos feel outdated compared to every other platform.

Thank you best regards.

In all my years as a mod, this is the main feature I wish Reddit would implement. Essentially the following:

For a subreddits that have topics and uses flairs to identify and let people filter their subreddit feed with, it would be amazing if as a mod I can set which filters are included by default and which ones are “opt-in” or off by default.

A use case example is when members are divided about whether a topic should be included or excluded from the sub. A classic example is meme posts. No matter what you choose, you upset half the population. If you choose to keep those you can incentivize meme posts as they are always popular and it overtakes the sub and clutters the feed, but if you ban them you create more moderation work but you also deprive those who really want them from enjoying them.

In our sub (r/LucidDreaming) meme was one example but another are dream stories, which are highly divided (I’d say 60/40 split with majority doesn’t want to include them). If we include them, they clutter the feed so we tried creating a weekly thread to not ban them completely but no one ends up using that.

Now we can force flairs on posts and suggest people who don’t like memes or stories to filter them out, but that puts the burden on users for something that we fall on the side of wanting less. And not everyone creates an account or understands filters.

But if we could include stories, but keep that flair as opt-in/off by default, it can keep the main/default feed uncluttered and still allow users who really want it to turn those one for themselves.

It’s a classic dynamic of default settings/opt out vs opt in settings, that if they are set one way it essentially fails and creates a less desirable outcome but if they are set the other way, it works and more people get what they want.

As it stands, the choice to keep it clutter free is to ban these posts, but we want to include them for the loud minority who wants them by letting them opt in.

I think there are other uses cases for such sub settings.

Please consider this or a similar mechanism.

Thanks in advance.

My idea is a mandatory nation tag next to everyone's name. If posting from USA their I.p. will show they are from the USA. If you can I.p. then you can automate an I.p. tag. If they are using a vpn (which many are) you can state "vpn" or whatever.

The theory I have is that there are people spreading disinformation to people looking for any confirmation bias substance to believe. And posting as instigators of many things they will not be harmed by. If the people being influenced by someone's suggestion to protest or riot, maybe, just maybe they will reconsider if the person isn't even from said place the riot will take place.

I believe there are a lot of impressionable minds on here that need people to agree with them. They will accept anyone that agrees.

I would also picture it would only become a trend to use a vpn so the grooming can continue. That would require another solution.

There could be a different ways to do this.

Some ideas:

instead of telling you that your drafts are full, when you have 20 drafts and attempt to save a new draft, it could save the new draft and automatically delete the oldest draft

Or

Drafts could be set to auto delete after a period of time

Or

Something like the oldest few drafts could auto delete

Any other ideas / feedback related to this topic?

Edit update -

Another idea - how about 30 or 40 drafts instead of just 20

And then if a draft only has under 20 characters, those could be auto deleted first

Greetings and felicitations. Please make all of subreddit's available flairs in a visible in the sidebar, not just the first twelve(?) or selected twelve(?), and in old Reddit as well as new Reddit.

Edit: Among other things, this will make searching the subreddit much easier, and show potential posters what is available.
