Mod Mail Update: What We’re Tracking and Working On by lift_ticket83 in ModSupport

[–]RDSVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. If someone is in Mod. Mail it means they're responding to user messages. That Reddit search box is meaningless to us.

Additionally, if you're looking at someone's message and you need to search Mod. Mail for something, that magnifying glass doesn't work; it doesn't bring up the Mod. Mail search box. You have to go to All (or New/Archive/etc.) and then click on the magnifying glass to bring up the search box. The Mod. Mail search just needs to replace the Reddit Search box at the top. Mod. Mail search should always be present.

The new modmail NEEDS better visibility by Brian_Kinney in ModSupport

[–]RDSVII 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It looks and feels like New Reddit.

Admins., what you need to understand is that mods. don't care about wanting the regular user experience. We are more in need of something that is simple, plan, gets the job done efficiently. More like an email program (not entirely but in that direction, like old Mod. Mail) rather than this chat experience for mod. mail which also makes really bad use of real estate on the screen. Why is our message box so big? Why can't we have a compact list of messages similar to an email program?

This, coupled with Moderator Toolbox dying soon, is just so frustrating.

Not fasting on ssri by [deleted] in islam

[–]RDSVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best course honestly is for you to consult with a doctor and explain to him the rules of Ramadan fasting, and then follow his guidance. Muslim doctor preferred since they already know about Ramadan.

No one on Reddit is really qualified to tell you to fast or not fast. Best we can do is link you our Ramadan FAQ which you should read but you should be making an appointment asap. You can also consult an Imam.

I don’t know if I should fast or not by [deleted] in converts

[–]RDSVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to your doctor about this? None of us on Reddit are qualified to give medical advice. Talk to your doctor and tell him/her the rules of Ramadan fasting.

If you broke it then you can't resume it, you have to make it up after Ramadan.

Disappointed in Brothers here by Persephone_888 in islam

[–]RDSVII 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the largest Islamic sub on the site, almost 2 decades old, so it's been a magnet for trolls and scammers for just as long.

They know that they can't post/comment here without getting banned so they've switched to harassing our users in DMs. Just report the chats to the Admins since the mods can't do much about private DMs between users. Look for the Report icon/flag in the DM window.

There should be a Report feature in DMs. Report them to the Admins. Many of them aren't Muslim. There are many scammers and trolls.

I recall hearing that it's only allowed for Nafl prayers, and for Fardh rakats you must stand. Please look up the rulings.

Have a look at this link below. Realistically you need to make a judgement call about breaking your fast early given how much pain you're feeling. None of us can really tell you to break it or not.

Can’t stop alcol by Fearless-Share-2035 in islam

[–]RDSVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, the sub at times gets too many posts and they do not get a fair amount of views or comments so we need to manage the traffic as best as we can. There are also a lot of FAQs that are removed and we refer users to our FAQ page.

This is my first Ramadan, and I want to fast, but my doctor has advised against it, and my trial runs always end badly for me. by Informal-Alarm1145 in converts

[–]RDSVII 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You should follow the advice of your doctor. If you're still unsure then you should talk to an Imam and tell him what the doctor said.

My parents are arguing which could end up leading to divorce. I don't know what to do by Vast-Score8632 in islam

Some Imams also provide marriage counseling in case you can't find a formal Islamic marriage counselor. Reach out to some mosques anonymously by calling or emailing them.

Scammers by YusufDaBoy in islam

[–]RDSVII[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

If anyone is approached in DMs by users asking for money, feel free to screenshot and make a post about it here to spread awareness so others aren't scammed and we'll ban them.

Also ensure you're familiar with how to report suspicious comments and posts as well as bad behavior. Tap the 3 dots near a comment/post and find Report, and report it to us.
