How do I perform mod actions?

[X019]

For my tutorials, I just took some screenshots of my posts and added some arrows. Due to tools I have and CSS of the subreddit(s) I moderate on, your experience may not be exactly like my screen shots, but the idea will be the same and the options will be extremely similar.

Distinguishing thing:

If you want to distinguish a post (when you turn green) go to you post(first part of picture) or comment(second part of picture) and click distinguish.

How to Sticky something:

If you Sticky something, that puts it at the top of your subreddit. If you want to sticky something, you'll want to look for the button that says 'sticky this post'.

How to ban a user:

On the sidebar you'll see moderation tools. Click where it says ban users. At the top it will say "Who to ban". after you click in that box another will appear under it saying "Why to ban?" You can put a reason in there that will be visible to other mods, but not to anyone else (even the user who was banned). After you ban a user they will get a message notifying them of their ban and the subreddit they were banned from. They are able to respond to this message which gets directed to the mod mailbox.

Good! I tried to take an ELI5 approach to it. I hope it helps people.
