Information and support for moderators

Heya mods, With a lot happening in… 2025, we want to ensure you’re aware of moderation resources that can be very useful during surges in traffic to your community – especially when seeing an excess in violating content.

First, we recommend using the following safety tools to help stabilize moderation in your community:

• Harassment Filter - automatically filters posts and comments that are likely to be considered harassing
  
• Crowd Control - automatically collapses or filters comments and filters posts from people who aren’t trusted members within your community yet
  
• Reputation Filter - automatically filters content by potentially inauthentic users, including potential spammers
  
• Ban Evasion Filter - automatically filters posts and comments from suspected subreddit ban evaders
  
• Modmail Harassment Filter - like a spam folder for messages that likely include harassing/abusive content
  

Additional Support:

• Mod Reserves - request temporary assistance from experienced moderators
  
• Reports and Removals - this section of your Mod Insights provides you with information about removals in your community, including admin removals
  
• AutoModerator and Contributor Quality Score - filter potentially violating content from those who are not trusted users in the community
  
• r/ModGuide, r/ModHelp, r/Automoderator - keep in touch and seek advice from fellow moderators
  
• r/ModSupport - contact admins
  

Resources for Reporting:

• Report site wide rules violations - clicking report under a piece of content, including violating content in your community, not only flags it to community moderators, but to admins when you use a site-wide rule report reason. This breakdown of report reasons can also be helpful when learning what can be reported on reddit
  
• Report Moderator Code of Conduct Violations - report violations of the Code of Conduct, including activity like mods allowing or encouraging violations of the Content Policy or interference targeting other subreddits
  

As always, please remember to uphold Reddit Rules, and feel free to reach out to us if you aren’t sure how to interpret a certain rule. We will also reach out directly to communities experiencing a surge in rule-breaking content to see how we can support you.

We encourage you to share any advice or tips that could be useful to other mods in the comments below. We’ll be back at it tomorrow to address any questions.

Thank you for everything you do to keep your communities safe.
