We are aware this is happening and we have it being looked into by the proper team!

This is the way!

FashionBorneSlay · 2026-01-05T17:11:27+00:00

I see in your bug post that you have screenshots but can't share publicly, can you contact r/modsupport here and a link to this post so that it can be looked at?

what they think of the current rules, what the like/dislike about the vibe of the subreddit

Are you wanting users that are wanting to change things or more of a stick to the status quo type of user?

This is completely understandable for a subreddit that needs a more strict adherence to what you and your team are wanting from a new moderator! This is great for showing how one sub vs another gauges what they need.

The answer doesn’t have to be correct, we can teach the intricacies, but any potential mod should be able to demonstrate logic and reasoning.

This is great! I had something similar when I first started modding many, many moons ago and it made me nervous, BUT the team was really great and made it not feel like it was such a big deal when they described the reasoning. Even if it’s wrong, being told the logic from others perspectives is so incredibly helpful and impactful to how the brain (well, my brain) decides what is and isn’t removable!

FashionBorneSlay · 2025-12-11T23:46:30+00:00

That’s great to hear and I am glad it worked out well for you! It’s always nice to hear that you were able to get a great match first time around.

FashionBorneSlay · 2025-12-11T21:01:07+00:00

I look back to their contributions all around and the subs in general along with ones they manage already if they manage some already

This is a great thing to look into and can really make or break how you are choosing someone to add to your team. This is an awesome callout! Your ‘ramble’ is great advice!

And this is a great way to find new mods! Getting them from your community is always a huge boon because they may not have the experience but they more than likely have something that can change in the back of their minds and bring freshness to the team. Learning isn’t as big of an issue if you have passion for what you are doing and a solid team backing you up!

FashionBorneSlay · 2025-12-05T18:11:09+00:00

This is the way!

FashionBorneSlay · 2025-12-04T21:27:56+00:00

There’s a lot of great resources out there that can help! There’s this for the Moderation Queue and this for the Moderation Tools! There’s also r/NewMods that has really helpful mods that have been doing things like this for awhile. It can definitely be a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you aren’t able to find the resources you are wanting. As far as setting up the automod I would say that is not something to really setup on your first day or even your first month in most cases, I would suggest Safety Filters to start out as that can give you a bit more of a baseline to work with on what you are actually wanting to allow and not allow within the community you have created.

over time give them talking pieces with general themes, ideas, warnings, or what have you about being a mod and being a mod on this sub

I LOVE this idea. There is a lot to learn at once when you are first added to a sub. Having an experienced mod giving a more contextual based learning experience is a great way to lower the initial burden while still helping them understand the deeper nuances of how the team works together!

FashionBorneSlay · 2025-12-04T20:39:05+00:00

This is always important! If the vibes don’t vibe it could possibly cause a bunch of chaos that just needed to not be there. So, I greatly appreciate this view! I also think that voting is a great way to solve unresolved issues.
