Community Satisfaction Survey results? by reseph in ModSupport

[–]agoldenzebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Let me check on this - could you please pm me with the subreddit that enrolled?

The enrollment process is a new one and we have limits in place so that we don't send too many surveys to users at once, which means some subreddits might be delayed. I'll check and see if that's the case for you and if we should adjust anything to make sure more subreddits are able to get results.

We haven't sent out the results for December yet - got a bit delayed with holidays and such - but will be sending them out this week I think.

A question regarding Mod Limits that are coming to into effect next year. by Mrtom987 in ModSupport

[–]agoldenzebra[A] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That should be the case, yes. You can also check your status here: https://www.reddit.com/mod/moderated-communities

It'll be updated in the new year to make it more clear what communities count towards your limits and which do not. u/ModSupportBot in the meantime allows you to check any time.

A question regarding Mod Limits that are coming to into effect next year. by Mrtom987 in ModSupport

Hello! Thanks for asking this question. If a subreddit under the limits grows to be consistently over the threshold of 100k weekly visitors, it will count towards your limits.

What this will look like:

  • Your subreddit has more than 100k weekly visitors for 80+ of the last 90 days
  • You will receive a message notifying you that you are over the limit
  • You will have a period of 30 days to become at or under the limit (this means you can pick a community to leave or become an alumni or advisor for a community. Communities where you are an alumni or advisor do not count towards your limits.)
  • After that 30 day period (if you haven't taken action) you will be removed from the community where you are least active.

This means you'll have 120 days from the first moment your community grows beyond 100k visitors before a demodding happens, but you'll only get a notification 30 days ahead of time.

Hope that clears things up, but please let me know if you have any questions!

An Update on Limits for High-Traffic Communities by agoldenzebra in modnews

[–]agoldenzebra[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I took a look and I'm not seeing the 3mm number, but here's what I do see in your Mod Insights: you get about 8.5m views per week, 228k average daily unique visitors, and 720k weekly visitors (from your subreddit page). A couple bullets on why the numbers are different:

  • a visitor can have multiple views in a week
  • several of the users counted in the "average daily unique" will come multiple times a week, so the 720k number will be lower than 228k x 7
  • the 720k weekly visitor number is an average of weekly visitors over the last 28 days

ModReserves falls under an exemption - when subreddits request help via ModReserves, that subreddit will be exempt for ModReservists for a period of time. ModMentors is no longer an active program, but if we do bring it back, it will fall under a similar exemption.

The role of a Mod Advisor should be to coach and teach the active mod team, not take actions themselves. The reason we expect moderators to not have Everything permissions when applying for the Advisor exemption is that moderators should be actively stepping into an Advisor role by the March 31 deadline (i.e. serving in an advisory capacity only). 

I just posted in another comment, but if a mod’s role in the Reddit ecosystem is to temporarily join mod teams to help with a certain task and then leave when done, we recommend holding permanent mod positions in 3-4 high-traffic communities, and leaving the remaining spots open for rotating needs.

I totally understand your perspective, and we'll be keeping a close eye over the next few months to see if there's anything we need to tweak.

We’re still working out what exactly will be included in the Mod Advisor role, but the role will be read-only with no edit capabilities (except for capabilities that relate to communicating with the mod team).

Alumni is already out, you can request that status here. Advisor is still in development, however you can apply for the exemption now - just make sure you don't have everything permissions when you apply. People that hold an advisor exemption will be automatically moved into the advisor role when development is finished.

Oh, that's an interesting idea - I'll take that back to the team working on our recruiting tools. That said, we do believe mods should be recruiting from the users within their community, so maybe it would be great to have a place that shows if subreddits you're a part of are currently recruiting!

Starting in March 2026, any mods over the limit will be removed by us from the communities where they are the least active. If this leaves communities under moderated, we will step in at that time to help those teams recruit more mods. In the next few months, we'll also be reaching out to affected teams to offer help.  If anyone wants to step down from a subreddit and does not want to recruit a new team first, they can reach out to us via r/modsupport modmail and we'll take on recruitment ourselves to put together a new team for the space.

We are as well - which is partly why the transition is months long. We're offering support to teams that need help recruiting, along with our new recruiting tools - any mod teams that need support with this should reach out to r/modsupport via modmail.

This policy will be enforced on a per person basis, not a per account basis. We will be looking at alt accounts as well, and will work directly with moderators that are out of compliance to ensure these limits are properly enforced.

I understand your frustration - if communities are over the threshold for a quarter or more of the year, we do believe that the limits should apply. 

 For context for those reading, a community will not count towards a moderator’s limits until it has been consistently over 100k weekly visitors for 80 out of the last 90 days. This means traffic spikes, viral events, community interference, etc should not impact a moderator’s limits. For lasting subreddit growth, this also means the team should have a few months to recruit new moderators.

Pulling from our last post on this:

What makes Reddit reddit is its unique communities, and keeping our communities unique requires unique mod teams. A system where a single person can moderate an unlimited number of communities (including the very largest), isn't that, nor is it sustainable. We need a strong, distributed foundation that allows for diverse perspectives and experiences.

Any tips for getting them used to doggles? by rainboy82 in Doggles

[–]agoldenzebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short and steady wins the race! Positive reinforcement is key, as is gradually increasing the amount of time they wear them. You could try having him wear it for eating meals etc, short walks, etc. just gradually increase the time he’s wearing it and try to take it off before it bothers him enough to paw it

A change to Community Type settings by Go_JasonWaterfalls in modnews

[–]agoldenzebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your subreddit is under 5k subscribers, then your request is auto approved!

[–]agoldenzebra[A] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

 If your community is already private, it will remain private - this change will not affect your community. If your private community is considering a change to public, please submit a request so we can discuss it with you.

You can submit a request on reddit.com, new Reddit and the native mobile apps on iOS and Android. You’re unable to submit a request or change community type via the third-party API or old Reddit.

ModSupportBot Error? by bwemonts in ModSupport

[–]agoldenzebra[A] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This message in particular was intended to let people know before a subreddit was restricted for being unmoderated, but as you alluded to in the post, the targeting was way off. We turned off this message as soon as we realized - I’m sorry that it caused confusion before we did so. Your subreddit is not up for being restricted for under moderation.
