Answered When is public information treated as private under Reddit rules?

0 Upvotes

Desktop. Specific case: A corporation (not publicly traded) is under discussion on a sub. The corporation's officers are named in registration documents publicly available on a State website. Does it violate Reddit's privacy policy to refer to an individual by name as holding a particular office in said corporation? I have recurring trouble grasping the concept of public info being private. Thanks!

Answered multiple accounts from single user, how to detect his/her other accounts?

3 Upvotes

desktop

slight context:

there is a growing influx of old unused accounts that suddenly start posting AI generated questions meant to drive conversations and farm karma. usually there is also some veiled product being hawked like AI generated tools for a trade that doesnt need it like pumbing. its all very AI generated and no human seem to be behind it.

i see on the sub i am a mod on several of these popping up but they are also just spamming the same post from multiple accounts. i would like to be able to link these accounts together so its obvious they come from the same person/bot. how would i link them together using the moderator tools at my disposal and if possible have the reddit bots or higher level mods try to find others that might belong to the same person/bot?

Tips & Tricks Is it possible to add a live countdown timer to a subreddit's sidebar?

0 Upvotes

Hey,I'm a moderator of r/LisaArchive, and I want to add a live countdown for LISA's PRESS PLAY listening party to our subreddit sidebar/About section.

Ideally, I'd like it to display the remaining days, hours, minutes, and seconds, updating automatically without users needing to click a link.

I've found the sidebar widget options, including Text and Images, but I haven't figured out a way to make a countdown update live.

Is this possible with Reddit's built-in widgets? If not, is there a working workaround, such as an external countdown image, a bot, or another supported method?

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I'm using android :)

General Banned User Still Able to Comment

13 Upvotes

Hi all,

Android App - Our mod team has been trying to figure out a case where a banned user is still able to comment in our subreddit. The account shows as banned, with the little red mallet, but we still regularly see comments come through.

This does not appear to be a case of a shadow ban, as the comments aren't being flagged for review or removed by the auto-mod.

We've tried removing and reinstating the ban but that doesn't appear to work.

I tried searching this question in this subreddit and saw some similar posts but the responses all alluded to shadow bans, which I'm pretty confident is not the case.

Any other tips?

Answered Mod Application Link Not Working

1 Upvotes

I'm on desktop, trying to share a mod application link for my sub r/askteddit. For some reason, the link appears to be telling users "You can’t apply to moderate this community right now." I've double-checked that I have the correct link, and tried closing and re-opening applications several times. It gives this error on my own account, and some of our users have shared that they get the same error too. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

This is the link that I'm trying to use, copied directly from the mod tools interface.

EDIT: I just checked mod mail and it appears we got one application several hours ago, so perhaps the applications are working for some users and not others. I'm not sure what's happening.

General Subreddit Question

0 Upvotes

I'm in the process of setting up a subreddit community for a company. Can anyone provide or point me to (with a link) the current sizing chart for Reddit subreddits that contains:

- cover photo dimensions / aspect ratio(s)
- video dimensions (max file size, resolution, frame rate, bit rate, max duration)
- carousel dimensions (max image size, resolution, aspect ratio, max slides)
- image dimensions (max size, resolution, aspect ratio)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any resources on Reddit or other pages. What I did find were numerous resources providing different answers for each of the above.

Tools Reddit keeps removing comments and posts of ppl

9 Upvotes

(Desktop/Android) A lot of comments and some posts get auto-removed fairly regularly from my sub as spam, most of them aren't spam. And the biggest issue is I'm not getting any notifications at all regarding this, b/c I might actually see a comment and interact with it in a post and later i will check the removed queue and it somehow has been removed by reddit. I also have to spend my time to regularly see the removed portion of my mod queue to know which comments to approve, is there something that can be done abt it?

Wanted to ask if it extended to manual bans and users who have not yet engaged with the sub?

Answered Problem with a user's comments always being Removed, for no reason

10 Upvotes

reddit's systems persistently think she's a spammer(?) and remove her posts and comments (even though she's a good, valued contributor).

Almost 100% of her comments just land stright in the mod queue with a red [Removed] on them, and we have to manually approve them.

Neither we nor she know why this is.

Is there any way we can fix this?

Answered Is it possible for r/redditrequest or through other means, to be top of the Mod Hierarchy list on a subreddit?

0 Upvotes

I'm interested in knowing if it is possible through reddit request or any method to be placed at the top level of the moderator list so I can't be removed and I can remove others if needed?

The subreddits I'm moderating have inactive mods that can just revoke all my privileges whenever they feel like it, as I'm the only person moderating these subreddits and the owner & others continue to be inactive I can't exactly remove the bots or anything.

Is it possible to be put at the top as the inactive mods won't remove themselves or the bots, I want the peace knowing I can keep things under proper control.

Thanks you, looking forward to the help.

I'm also on Desktop browser.

General User Flairs: cutting down legacy of ~300 flairs, any pitfalls?

4 Upvotes

(Desktop)

We have a subreddit that, for legacy reasons, has hundreds of User Flairs. Most of these have an emoji set, and the option to be user editable with one single emoji limit.

For obvious reasons, this isn't ideal, especially as reddit migrates to more modern approaches, as the list for both users and moderators is unwieldy and reddit Apps can only do so much.
( Sorting user flairs, for example, is a slog with no auto-scroll when reaching modal boundaries, and the new interface causing a redraw for every row changed *while dragging*. )

It appears to me that the vast majority of those User Flairs could be removed, and a single "[a default icon] Custom flair (edit me!)" be used instead.

I thought there would be an issue with this in terms of deleting a User Flair; if any user had that Flair set, it would be removed from that user. But this doesn't appear to be the case.

These User Flairs are entirely cosmetic, and are not part of any Automoderator or reddit App rules / automations.

Are there any pitfalls that I should be aware of before committing to this task?

Tools Automod help

3 Upvotes

Desktop/mobile versions in use

Hi, I am trying to use automod to automatically assign "NewUser" flair to new members and those with 2-99 community karma points.

My sub has 7k members and 12k weekly visitors on average. So manually assigning new user flairs is not a viable option.

The sub is over a year old and the original co owner (has now left)didnt want automod set up so its a new set up on the new system.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I have tried multiple lines of code through automod and this new system is slightly infuriating.. if it actually accepts the code, it fails to work, the rest of the time it kicks out the code because of conflicts.

Any help appreciated!
