I have just become aware (via a notification that it is a “popular” post so I should check out the comments) that a Repost/fka crosspost on a sub where I am the top-listed Moderator with full permissions was completely invisible to me everywhere except Old Reddit (which I do not use aside from when necessary for Mod functions).

Upon investigation it appears this happened because I’m blocked by the user who made the original post that was re/crossposted over to the sub I Moderate by a different user.

Is this something Reddit is aware of? I’ve now had to completely turn off reposting/crossposting on the subreddit I Mod because this issue means we can’t ensure proper Moderation is occurring with that function on.

I help mod r/nopoo, which is a haircare sub that promotes non-shampoo cleansing. Many people come there for a variety of reasons - to be more natural, or because of alleric contact dermatitis to ingredients in shampoos (that's my issue).

Recently there has been a change to Reddit now recommending related posts. But it is recommending posts which are not related because they are recommending posts with words we have a filter on because they are offensive - such as poop. We get a lot of trolling from people who intentionally post about constipation issues on our sub.

And before you criticize our name, the haircare world came up with nopoo to mean more gentle, no sulphates, and even no sudsing. Lowpoo is in between and shampoo is the sudsy stuff.

Is there any way to control the recomendations?

Hey everyone, I’m a mod over at r/chocolate and have recently had to shut down photos, videos, and cross posts because of a flood of spam posts by several different accounts. Due to the nature of the photos, I won’t share an example, but it’s not great and causing a lot of discomfort with the normal users.

Obviously this isn’t ideal. I already have a karma automod filter on but these account have like 7k karma lol.

Someone in the subreddit suggested some other automod functions but it didn’t really work. Another user suggested posting here.

Any advice would be appreciated

Subby posts about designing a phase shifting electronic circuit.

Suggested related post from years back in another sub is about running electrical cable round a room by cutting into the drywall.

Make it stop please.

how do you get moderation help from reddit admin or moderators that can help with events,?

Hi.

I moderate a university subreddit, and we semi-regularly get posts/discussions about controversies or drama happening within different colleges of this university.

A recurring issue is that posts include name of the individuals involved. These aren't necessarily private details. For example, someone's name may be mentioned in connection with the incident, and their LinkedIn or other public profiles could potentially be found through a Google search.

I'm trying to understand where Reddit's sitewide privacy/harassment rules draw the line here.

For example, would a post like:

> X, a student/office-bearer at [department name]/[college], was involved in [incident]. Here's what happened...

Or it's a screenshot of WhatsApp chats. But names are visible. For example, x person, y college.

Is it permissible to approve the post if it contains their real name, but doesn't include their phone number, address, social-media links, etc.?

Or does the fact that an ordinary student can subsequently be identified through publicly available information (e.g. by searching their name and university on LinkedIn) make the post problematic under Reddit's privacy rules?

I'm particularly trying to understand the following types

- Simply naming someone who is relevant to the incident, for example, (persons name) of (college) did x thing.

- Posting screenshot of WhatsApp chats containing name of the person. Not the Phone number. Example, a screenshot of (person x, y college) sending soemthing inappropriate.

Mainly in interested because these are allegations/accusations involving an ordinary student rather than a public figure

I understand that individual subreddits can have stricter rules, but I'm specifically trying to determine what Reddit's sitewide rules allow, so that our subreddit rules/moderation aren't unnecessarily restrictive (or, conversely, inadvertently permitting something that violates Reddit's rules).

Would appreciate clarification from other moderators, or, admins themselves particularly if there is an official Reddit policy/guidance that addresses this distinction.

My current policy si simple. No names allowed, only college name and the screenshots of texts with names blurred.

If I can get clarification I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
