I love being here, and I don’t think I’ve been banned, shadow or otherwise, from any sub so far.

I hear that users can be banned from some subs for engagement with karma farming subs. But how does one tell that they’re even looking at a karma farm? What would automatically tip off someone knowledgeable about this so they can avoid even clicking on it in the first place?

Irl, a guy stalks me.

They’ve made maybe five-ish reddit accounts in the past trying to dox me, which I blocked and reported.

This has been going on the duration I’ve had reddit- a year and a half ish.

Every interaction they’ve had with me has been removed by Reddits filters, but all three accounts are still up.

Their most recent comment was on my pinned post on my user profile; it was already removed, so I reported the profile.

In the report thing on the app, there was no option for ban evasion.

I am curious about ban evasion in the context of our user profiles are sort of like sub Reddits; my user profile has this dude blocked, and they keep making new accounts and commenting more things on my user profile.

So it’s kind of like ban evasion, sort of ish maybe?

Also, pragmatically, Reddits systems are working “good enough” I guess. Or like, even though they keep making new accounts and commenting more, Reddits filters do remove them at an impressively quick rate anyways.

Did I already do enough and can just keep not overly worrying about it?

sooo no matter how I try, my social interactions with moderators on reddit are usually non-existent or bad❤️first reaction is very often ban+mute, so I never get to talk to them. I feel so unlikable sometimes❤️even tho of course I try to approach friendly and somehow I am almost always failing hmmm (I am in autism spectrum btw)

and I am curious, how it is for you? do you enjoy talking with others from your team, or from outside subreddits? or does it happen to you too, that you fail to get along with someone who has equivalent responsibility to you?

edit: thank you for replies!! it is nice to hear you have enjoyable experiences🩷

Why is reddit now 90% ads and reposts? Apparently I didnt ask in the right subreddit and this question was deleted.

I've seen moderators mention that custom report reasons can sometimes be too vague or hard to determine if an action is warrented.

To help maximize the reports usefulness, is it better to keep them as brief as possible e.g., quoting the relevant part of the post or comment, or do you prefer a slightly more detailed explanation, or does it vary by sub?

​For instance, if someone reports a post as a "fake crisis post," is stating that and quoting the OP's admission enough context, or is it better to briefly explain why it violates the rules, like potential crisis tool abuse false positives / trolling?

​I'm curious to hear what makes these easier to process in the mod queues from your perspective.

Currently dealing with a 14 day banned user who claims they weren’t being racist by using the word “ghetto” in comments across multiple posts. Their reasoning? “They’re black so they get to decide if it’s racist or not.” Considering my sub ISN’T just a US sub, it’s a global sub, we had to remind them words have different contexts around the world. I think they finally got it when we told them their comments had SEVERAL reports of racism, and that was the reason for the temporary ban. 😂😂

I see so many screenshots of text conversations and wonder about the person who is the responding party in the screenshots. Somebody must’ve at some point seen a post and realized, “whoa those are screenshots of a text conversation that I’m in!” And then to read all the opinions of the commentators must be a wild experience. How does that person feel? Do they ever self-reflect and take stock in others’ take on their position in the conversation?

Our little german city subreddit has been probably pirated by crypto scammers.

Its just a german small city Subreddit to get some local news. Nobody of us is a professional moderator but we kept it easy and clean.

Me and a mate lost our role as Mods from another mod. After that an auto mod app appears and is posting Casino and crypto scam advertisement.

What are we able to do to save our small city Subreddit?

I've seen several comments/complaints here and in similar subs recently about "mods who are too active" in their sub.

I was a frequent participant in my sub before I was ever a mod. Probably why I was invited to mod. I've remained so since. I don't wear my mod-tag when posting as 'just a participant' (in fact we usually use press-app to comment 'as the mods'). I certainly don't dominate the sub, but I probably comment on ~33-50% of posts. The only difference post-mod is I tend to comment 'early' - I see often 'see' posts shortly after submission b/c queue, etc.

I don't entirely understand the objection. Is there some benchmark or threshold that's over the line? Should a mod suddenly diminish their participation in the sub vs. pre-mod?

Why do AutoModerator thinks my comments are violent?

I have been trying to post about a multiplayer strategy game (WarEra) to find more Indian players. Every time I post something related to it, I get “Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters.”

My previous account got shadowbanned while doing the same thing. This new account is also facing the same issue.

My CQS is Moderate.

I am not spamming links in every post, and I am not using multiple accounts at the same time. I just want to recruit active players for our community because we need more people.

Is anyone else facing this when posting about games / communities?

What usually causes this filter, and is there any proper way to post without getting hit by it every time?

Any advice would help.

Asking because I've recently seen really variable definitions. On one end of the spectrum some people say it's got to be organised disruption, on the other end I've seen people say just by responding to the original post when cross posting one is already brigading. My question is, does Reddit have an official definition for this?

Also there seems to be a trade off between policing and allowing for honest discussions. If one has to prove organised disruption before something can be called brigading, that sounds unfair for the mods. But if just clicking into crossposts and responding is already brigading, then this can preclude people from participating and clearing up misinformation under offensive/aggressive posts about minorities. Curious how people manage the balance?

3 of my most recent posts (I'm not allowed to mention the subreddit site here!) have been blocked by moderators or bots. The last for violating Rule 14 (political posts) even though the flairs I chose was Political & Drawing, the day before a post was removed for no specific rule violation, except it didn't conform to the Moderator's opinion of community values (it was a colorful geometric serigraph), & the previous was removed because it wasn't "attributed," when it was listed as [OC], I signed & dated it, & I alone totally conceived & created it. Worse, a couple weeks ago I mistakenly entered the wrong email address & got an old Reddit identity I no longer use Alternative-Sun4820 at [filbey@yahoo.com](mailto:filbey@yahoo.com), which Reddit insists on writing me as even though I post from my proper email address [bigfootcollections@yahoo.com](mailto:bigfootcollections@yahoo.com) as Rich_Pickle2929. I've repeatedly reported this to several Reddit help sites, but don't receive replies or help. Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing & am not doing it correctly. Please help. Thanks!

The context obviously matters, so feel free to specify what type of sub.

If the topic is confusing, I am talking about if a moderator is publicly engaging with the community in various ways.

If it helps you answer your question, you can specify how the mod would engage that way in the reply.

😩I’m posting a topic, and Reddit itself suggests subs to me, but I really don’t understand which topic belongs where. Then my topic gets removed because it’s in the wrong place and me banned. How shall i underdtand which Sub is right for the topic?

Just about a month ago my other account got hacked and i guess reddit just thought i was some acc that was js spamming nsfw posts then randomly just decided to delete all of my posts (even the non-nsfw). I need help as i am using another acc js to ask for it pls.

I understand that a few years back Reddit decided to go with a theory, along the lines of, each sub is a private community and the mods are like private owners of those communities.

But the format for Reddit didn't change. And some mods personally prevent topics, that are relavent to the sub's name. Some are also the most active commenter on their own sub and regularly (or in rare cases, almost exclusively) violate the sub's rules. Some have very long and public crash outs, then ban and perma-mute a whole list of users.

My question is, is there a point at which this is something we can report to someone, and expect something to be done about it? Or is there literally no limit to what mods are allowed to do and not do on their subs (barring the obvious, committing outright crimes)?

Thanks for any answers in advance!

Tried to post this afternoon and again this evening. Both times I got "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's filters". I contacted the subreddit's mod and they said they didn't know. What happened and how can I fix it?

Please and thank you.
