I'm a moderator of r/IndiGo6E. The subreddit is relatively small and low-traffic, averaging roughly 2 posts per week. 6 months back I added a few new moderators, and today I discovered that I had been marked as an "inactive" moderator.

My issue is with how Reddit determines inactivity and applies restrictions.

For a community with very little moderation workload, what exactly constitutes being "active"? There are weeks where there is simply nothing that requires moderator intervention. The subreddit is functioning normally, rules are being followed, and there is very little content to review.

I had also made updates to subreddit assets such as images and appearance settings, yet apparently that did not count towards activity. If maintenance and community setup work do not count, then the system seems heavily biased towards communities that generate frequent moderation actions.

The rationale behind Inactive Mod Protections makes sense for large communities where inactive moderators returning after long absences could disrupt an active team. However, applying the same standards to small, low-maintenance communities seems questionable. In some cases, there simply isn't enough moderation work available to continuously demonstrate activity.

What makes even less sense is the consequence. Because I was marked inactive, I had to be re-added to the mod team. As a result, I have effectively been reset to the bottom of the moderator list despite being one of the senior moderators of the subreddit. I'm now the newest moderator on paper and below moderators who joined long after I did.

How does that make sense? If a moderator has contributed to building and maintaining a community for years, why should a period of inactivity in a low-traffic subreddit erase their seniority and position in the hierarchy?

I'm curious how other moderators of smaller subreddits deal with this. Have you also been marked inactive despite still maintaining and overseeing your communities? Do you think Reddit's current activity criteria fairly account for low-volume subreddits, or is the system disproportionately punishing moderators of smaller communities?

Hello everyone! 👋

I recently created r/IndianArtSyndicate , a community dedicated to Indian artist.

The idea behind the community is to create a space where artists, animators, scriptwriters, storyboard artists, voice artists, thinkers, and enthusiasts can share their work, exchange ideas, receive constructive feedback, and connect with other creators.

We’re still at the very beginning and currently setting up the foundation of the community. I’d also love to connect with experienced moderators and learn from others who have built communities from scratch.
Apply from Mod Mail.

Hey people, so as per the title says, we are looking for moderators that fulfil the criteria below.

1]Manual Moderation of all chats even checking those moderated by Ai and approve if it was false removal [as per as he/she can do not necessarily all]

2]Event planner and executor-- Planning different events and execute them even can take people from existing team and distribute Event execution works

3]Can discover interesting gaming news, indie games and hidden gems

4]Active on Reddit/Discord and comfortable talking to people

5][optional] If also knows graphic designing can help in making banners that will be great

Its been a while this issue is present on reddit android app. Important text in pinned post in the highlights is getting cut, making it harder for members to know what's inside that post without opening it.

I have thoroughly checked this on different platforms like android, ios, and web (desktop and mobile view). This issue is only present on android. I believe this bug is making things hard for members and mods.

I want to take things in my hands by reporting this and getting this fixed. I don't know where should i report this to get this noticed and soon fixed by reddit.

I need your help from my fellow indian mods.

My very first piece of merch, and I'm really happy to have it.

Thanks, Reddit!

So last month I pooled up people on reddit and bought some watch stuff from alibaba \[since Alibaba always have a MOQ of like 5-10 and the shipping cost is high too\] that was hard to source it here and things went super smooth only the pooling and managing was difficult otherwise it was a smooth sail and once upon receipt I got and sent all the parts to the folks who got it with me through India Post.

Now I think this can be a full-blown opportunity for a reddit community since there is none in India, wherein people can pool up and buy in things they want and though the mod method there can be trust and things can be accessible.

For this thing I am looking for people who can collaborate with me and set up a sub with atleast 5 MODs (who have previous MOD Exp.) and make this a thing that is viable.

Wish me luck! :) And if you've built a community before, I'd genuinely love to hear your tips, lessons, or things you wish you'd known when you started.

Hi everyone!

Lots of you had asked for help around using devvit apps and auto mod code for making mod easier so this post should help you.

Useful Devvit Apps

You can browse and install developer apps directly via devvit apps. Here are several apps worth looking into:

• Hive Protector: Reports or removes content from users who participate in specified subreddits or domains.
• OnlyFlairs: Enforces flair requirements by restricting commenting or posting to users with set user flairs.
• Moderator Mentions / Mod Tag Alert: Triggers notifications across Modmail, Discord, or Slack whenever specific moderator usernames are tagged.
• Comment Mop & Modqueue Nuke: Tools to quickly clear parent/child comment threads or purge the queue based on age, keywords, or report counts.
• Evasion Guard & Bot Bouncer: Helps detect ban evasion and automatically flags or removes known bot accounts.
• Flair Scheduler / Day-Of-Week Rules: Restricts certain post flairs to specific days of the week automatically.
• SubGuard: Manages user warnings and automatically issues temporary or permanent bans after a set number of violations.
• Modmail Assistant & Automator: Adds auto-highlighters, auto-responders, and summary tools directly within Modmail.
• Voice of Mods: Allows moderators to reply via a shared mod account identity to preserve personal privacy.

AutoModerator Snippets

Below are two standard AutoMod configurations to handle high-report items and account age/karma filtering.

1. Mass Report Auto-Filter & Modmail Alert Automatically locks, filters, and sends a notification to Modmail when a post or comment receives a specified threshold of user reports (e.g., 4 reports).

type: any
reports: 4
action: filter
action_reason: "4 reports; Sent to queue for review"
comment: |
    Your post or comment has been temporarily removed due to multiple user reports. A moderator will review it shortly.
set_locked: true
modmail: |
    The above {{kind}} by /u/{{author}} was filtered after receiving 4 reports. Please review and take appropriate action.

2. Basic Account Age & Karma Gate Filters content from brand new or low-karma accounts to reduce spam and trolling.

type: any
author:
    account_age: "< 1 day"
    comment_karma: "< 10"
action: filter
action_reason: "Account age/karma threshold not met"

Feel free to adapt these parameters and app settings to fit your community's specific guidelines! I'd be happy to share specific auto mod cods for any specific use-cases you might have in your sub.

I initially took these subreddits as my motivation for raising awareness regarding culture circle. I've had friends who are scammed and thought that I can cultivate them to have wider impact.

Unfortunately, with the subs I moderate and my offline commitments, managing and running the subreddit is not meeting my expectations.

Hence I'm considering applications for the 2 subs together. The condition being that you must strictly not be affiliated to culture circle in any way, and must be strictly consumer positive. Brownie points if you have been scammed by them previously. Brownie points if you moderating similar themed subreddits.

To apply please do not use your alt accounts, instead use a main account so that I can consider your application properly. If you do have alt where you moderate subreddits, please let me know so. I promise to protect your confidentiality.

Please send a modmail to either of the subreddits with the title "Open to Mod" along with a short text on how it makes you the right candidate to lead.

Thank you!
