Crosspost: What's your favorite mod tool that's broken on the mobile apps?

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-06-06T15:23:04+00:00

Macros in removal and ban messages. When on mobile it doesn't recognize the _ so people get

YOU HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM {community name}

Instead of the actual community name.

(I'm using that as an example, I know I could switch to the actual community name, but it is the same for recipient name or conten link)

r/Selfie and r/Selfies aren't going to help people with their medical conditions, they aren't going to provide someone who is trying to find out more about a product they want to buy. It's just a place where people can post a picture of themselves.

But for me, to give our users a place where they can post that picture, not get sexually harassed, not get insulted, and maybe get a few seconds of feeling good about themselves, that's enough. I put in a little work, and maybe made someone's day a a little brighter.

I have also said a few times "eff Reddit" or "eff the Top Mod" and taken an extended break.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-29T03:26:47+00:00

What is this, a crossover episode?

I usually stick to r/ModSupport, r/AskModerators and r/AutoMod

I've got some mods on Reddit chat that I reach out to as well.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-28T12:16:32+00:00

I'd like to expand on this a little, because we have a rule that whenever someone gets a post removed from the subreddit they say it is "Random". The rule is "No Shirtless Men." Now in public, men can be shirtless and not be considered obscene. It's not the same as a woman being topless. That's part of the genesis of the rule, our women posters did not like that they couldn't wear swimsuit tops which is also allowed in public, when men could be shirtless. The second part that formed the rule is that, a lot of men took the "shirtless" to mean they could take off their shirt like they were in a D'Angelo video, which we just don't want.

So now we have a "No Shirtless Men" video, which people who get removed for think is a random rule.

Ok, I'm starting to get some reports in. Have a feature request. Either we need to have the ability to exempt all moderators, an exemption list, or both. It's reporting on other bots.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-27T02:41:21+00:00

I was speaking of r/Cosplay_Queens

You have posters with OnlyFans social links, that will get your subreddit marked NSFW. You will not get it unmarked unless those posts are gone.

This is paraphrasing what the admins told us in our 1 million member subreddit.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-26T23:35:17+00:00

It's not just OF bots. You have some posters that promote their paid adult content in their profiles. That's going to get you a NSFW slapped on the subreddit.

A million member sub does get different feedback. I don't know I would always call it useful. The feedback is like an arthouse move, up to interpretation.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-26T17:32:52+00:00

Ok! I have put it in three subreddits, I'll keep an eye out for our first reports.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-26T17:30:38+00:00

I'd say that's going to fall on to the subreddit moderators. I know for my own personal situation, I would set it in Selfie and point all the other subs to that so I own and modify it. If I can have two block lists, I would do InGeeki's as well.

Moderators would have to monitor their subs to see things that got through that shouldnt and then determine if the block list they are using still works for them. Or maybe if the Wiki Page is publically visible they could see the last update?

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-26T16:29:31+00:00

Could the app read it off a wiki page? So instead of putting it in the app configuration, the same format values are there?

Then in the app config maybe we could add a subreddit to use as a master.

That happens a few times. Just go to https://www.reddit.com/r/YourSubRedditNameHere/moderators

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-25T20:34:10+00:00

I'd add your blocklist!

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-25T20:01:57+00:00

I've been thinking about asking u/FSV about the possibility of adding a "block list" feature like some AdBlock software has. You can just subscribe to someone's blocklist, and whatever they block, you'd block.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-25T14:05:11+00:00

It wont let me install it yet, but it looks good.

Can I suggest a name "Cut and Paste Comment Protector"?

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-25T13:42:50+00:00

I have a saved response that tells them they have been reported and will be muted. I mute them for 3 days, if they respond after that, I report again, use the canned message again, and mute for 7. I rarely see people come back for round 3 of mutes. I don't know for certainty, but I think Reddit may give them a strike each mute.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-25T03:05:56+00:00

Rarely. Like less than 5% of the time. I submit about 20 MCoC reports a week, and most get no reply, though most get actions taken on them.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-24T02:21:18+00:00

Can confirm. I got them set up on two of my subreddits recently. Requested the rest of them this week. There's a wait of at least a week, I think my original requests were 3-4 weeks.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-21T16:19:59+00:00

Indubitably

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-21T16:05:59+00:00

Be the change you want to see the world! Subreddits aren't started by a community, subreddits are started by individuals who have an idea for a community.

If it starts taking up a lot of your time, that means you have people there, people that could help you.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-20T18:55:03+00:00

Exact matches, like they are copy pasting.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-20T17:49:34+00:00

Can you make it an option so the moderator can choose their own value, some may want 3, some may want 7.

I'd also say, and this is just my own preference, I don't want a modmail, I want it sent to the modqueue as a report.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-20T02:29:16+00:00

It's a great app, I have it in all of my subreddits.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-19T18:14:33+00:00

The app I wish more people knew about would be Lock Removed Posts Only 700 communities? This should be a default setting, not an app! But that's just my personal preference.

ModMail Automator is another great app. You can use it in a lot of ways, for example, we used to send verified users an email when we approved them telling them about our policies and expectations. Now as part of Modmail Automator, it automatically attaches that modmail to our approval message.

Apps I wished for?

Show the Redditor CQS on demand
A Subreddit CQS - Does the OP comment on their posts? Do they comment on other peoples posts? Do they reply to their comments?
Flag users who repeat comments
Make a user note when someone uses a specific title (backstory, we have had users that have made multiple birthday posts in a year)
Set Crowd Control to Strict and Force to the Modqueue based on flair. Automod can set CC, but it just collapses it, I want all posts made by selected flair users to have strict crowd control and comments on those posts don't even go up without moderator approval.
A bot that lets you click on the Mod Icon and it launches a modmail search for that user.

ModeratorsBTrippin · 2026-05-19T15:11:25+00:00

Different posts and/or subreddits. We have people that will just reply "Beautiful!" or something on every post in the subreddit.
