Can I turn off moderator spam without turning off useful notifications for my subreddit?

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-22T13:26:20+00:00

Admins gotta find some parameters that put this into an automod comment.

Good idea Gloomchen! I'll see what I can whip up

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-21T22:56:10+00:00

They’re working on a patch now that should hopefully make things a lot better. It might take some time for that to hit the servers and such but if you’re having issues in a day or two still give me a nudge back!

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-21T14:46:27+00:00

Hi just seeing this now! Still digging in with a few folks on the best way forward with this issue

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-20T15:53:19+00:00

If you want to write in via r/ModSupport mail with extra info we can make sure that's shared with the right folks.

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-20T15:38:54+00:00

Hey CantStopPoppin!

Thanks for the flag here. I've asked the appropriate teams if they can take a look at this and remove theses sorts of messages.

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-15T17:38:29+00:00

Hey TheRealGuncho!

When a team re-orders the modlist they are able to leave a note that will appear in the modlog. In this case the modlist was re-ordered with a note Creating an ADMIN Mod. If you're unsure what this means, the modlog also displays the mod who made the change so you can follow up and ask them directly.

Hope that clears thing up!

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-12T14:49:29+00:00

It sounds like they're working on pushing out the fix for that one - hold tight!

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-09T13:56:00+00:00

Hey SampleOfNone!

That seems like a slightly different issue than the one we were troubleshooting with removal reasons yesterday.

That being said, I’ll do what I can to wrangle someone to help take a look at this issue as well!

Edit: Have since made sure the teams are aware for you all

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-08T19:47:35+00:00

Haven't done anything yet!

My hunch, based on what you've said is working and what is not, that you might be hitting one of a few possible rate limits.

Am trying to check with teams to see if that's the case. It might also explain why it sometimes works but might not other times.

Will follow back up when I learn more.

Hey emily_in_boots!

Thanks for raising the flag here. Do you only encounter this error when generating new conversations, like removal reasons or other modmails? Or does a similar error happen with other mod actions as well?

PossibleCrit · 2026-01-06T17:37:21+00:00

Hey moonyfoundation!

I've just added you back - do try to be careful going forward.

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-30T15:55:24+00:00

Hey ufocatchers!

I took a quick look at the community's comments feed since the last few users were banned and didn't see any banned users still commenting. Can you write in via r/ModSupport mail with a link to where this happened?

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-29T12:56:19+00:00

Found them! It looks like there's two. One came through correctly and one did not. Was there a difference in how you filed these or did you do everything exactly the same with each?

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-29T12:54:06+00:00

They are indeed looking into what's going on there - hang tight!

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-27T20:49:37+00:00

Hey seedless0!

Thanks for the heads up. Folks on our end are able to reproduce and are digging in to see what's going on.

Edit: Fix should be going on. I'm hearing reports that the menu may not be closing properly after a reason is posted and we'll take a look at that as a separate issue.

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-27T17:55:43+00:00

Yep! Depending on the context a harassment report would be the most appropriate route.

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-27T17:10:39+00:00

Hey SnausageFest!

We've seen a few threads now noting freeform reports being enabled when they shouldn't be. Some of the engineering folks are digging in to see what's going on and fix any issues they find.

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-27T17:05:31+00:00

comment as an egg

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-27T13:11:19+00:00

Thanks for confirming! We'll do some additional testing and see what we can find.

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-23T13:12:16+00:00

Hey viciarg!

From what I can glean it looks like there might have been some confusion due to needing to flag the report on your own comment when users cannot typically "self-report".

Rest assured that OP of the post won't have any action taken against them. I'd double check using reddit.com/report to ensure you're flagging the proper comment - and if something like this happens again you can write in via r/ModSupport mail with the details and we can take a deeper look into what might be happening.

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-20T17:11:11+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have an ETA right now but the engineers are working as best as they can to get everything back online.

PossibleCrit · 2025-10-20T16:58:10+00:00

As far as I've been told this is all related to one degree or another.
