I'm sharing this article around today to a few of my UK subs to "rally the cause" and stimulate posting. I don't think us UK communities should fall short and our users become "passive" social media users!

If anyone else wants to jump on this please do.

It probably has been discussed, but I need to add some more to this mix, and I'll happily be directed to an answer.

I've got 150k members on a sub I moderate. Sometimes I need to read their profiles to see if they're trolling or brigading. I now can't if they're a contributor to a NSFW sub.

I'm not doing age verification as it currently stands as I have major concerns about how Persona will handle my data.

Does Reddit have a plan? If I wanted to troll a sub, right now I could ensure my profile was NSFW so others mods can't check my profile.

This is a joke. I meant to say a hole, but autocorrect changed it. It's both.

What's the solution here? Is modding now something only verified users can do effectively?

My only solution would be to ban people on NSFW subjects, with a rule change. This feels unfair. I'll kill engagement on my sub, and ruin a growing community if somebody decides to talk about trans issues (for instance, as some of the subs have been marked as NSFW) or other "NSFW" issues.

It's unfair. Please help, Reddit. .

Edit: Sponsored post below mine on an unverified account (mine) is about which casinos I'm familiar with. I can interact with an 18+ post when somebody has paid for it? How's that getting through the system? It's badly implemented.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to check in and let you know that I’ll be out of office for a bit. I’m getting married (!!) and then heading off on my honeymoon. I’ll be away from Friday 19 September through Monday 20 October, which I know is basically a century in Reddit time.

To make sure you’re fully supported while I’m gone, the wonderful u/VoxPorta will be stepping in as your main point of contact. He’ll be checking in here on r/ukmods to answer questions, and you can also reach out to him directly on Reddit chat if you need urgent support.

Many of you will already know him from before I came on board as an admin. For those who haven’t met him yet, you’re in very safe hands. He’s fantastic to work with (even if he is a German admin 😂).

Thanks for all that you do, and I’ll see you on the other side — slightly more sunburned, slightly more married. ❤️

Join us on Wednesday 21 May at 6pm BST for a virtual Moddit session built with UK mods in mind 🇬🇧

We’re diving into the Reddit Developer Platform (aka Devvit) and showing off some of the brilliant tools fellow mods have built to make your life easier.

You’ll hear straight from two UK-based mods, u/fsv and u/xenc, the brains behind tools like Trending Tattler and Community Home. They’ll share:

• How they got started building mod apps on Reddit

• Tips for using apps to streamline sub management

• How you can build your own (even if you’ve never coded before)

There’ll also be time for a live Q&A so bring your questions or just listen in.

🌟 RSVP here 🌟

Whether you’re just curious about what’s out there or thinking about building something yourself, this is a session is all about sparking ideas and introducing you to the world of Devvit!

P.S There's also a Reddit trophy for all attendees 🏆 Make sure you add it to your collection!

I attended the Mod meet-up in Manchester and had a brilliant day!

The variety of people who attended was fascinating! Driving instructors, Storytellers, Reality TV connoisseurs, News/ Journalists, Finance, Sports, etc. There were some very well informed devvit mods in attendance too.

I had a brilliant time meeting those of you who attended and I'll admit I didn't know what to expect when I signed up. But I'm glad I was brave enough to delve into the unknown. I had the best time meeting all of you interesting folks!

The day was very well organised, there was shuffleboard tables with a combined scoreboard so there was a common interest for everybody to help with mingling. There was a selection of wines, beers and prosecco in buckets on the tables and the food provided was excellent.

There's obviously hundreds of valid reasons not to attend an event, but if the main reason you didn't turn up is because you weren't sure what to expect or had anxiety about a meet-up. Let me reassure you, that you'll have a great day, everybody was so welcoming and your only expenses will be travel/ accommodation.

I'm genuinely excited for the next one and would love to meet even more of you guys!

Big Thanks also to the Reddit mods who organised the event!

Hello mods!

I’m u/briitbee, and I’m pleased to introduce myself as I’ve recently joined the UK team as additional community admin to help scale our support for the mods in the UK.

I’ll be joining forces with the amazing u/Mistdrifter, who many of you already know, to continue improving support for UK mods and create more opportunities to collaborate with all of you. As our UK moderator community continues to grow, we want to make sure you have all the support you need. 

I’m looking forward to connecting with you and supporting your communities. Whether you’ve been moderating for ten years or ten days, I’m here to help!

I’ll be hanging out in the comments today, so come say hi! 

To break the ice, here’s a question: what’s your non-negotiable on Sundays? A Sunday roast, a Reddit scroll or maybe I’d see you at my run club…No wrong answers!

Hi UK mods,

We’re hosting a roundtable on Monday 4 August at 6pm BST for UK-based moderators to talk through age assurance and how it may relate to your communities.

We know there’s been a lot of change recently, and it can be hard to get clarity on how everything fits together. This session is a chance to hear directly from Reddit staff, ask any questions you might have, and share your perspective if you’d like to.

What to expect:

• A relaxed Zoom call - cameras and voice chat totally optional

• Reddit staff from policy and product available to chat

• A space to ask questions, raise thoughts, or just listen in

Whether your community has already seen changes or you’re simply starting to think about what this might mean for your subreddit, you’re very welcome.

👉 Please RSVP here!

Zoom links will be shared with all respondents via Reddit chat on Monday, ahead of the call.

Feel free to share this invite with other UK mods who might be interested in joining.

As we wind down for the end of 2024, I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you.

Getting to know you all since May has been a real privilege and learning more about your amazing communities has been a highlight of my year 🌟

From me and the UK admin team, we wish you a joyful and restful holiday season with plenty of time to recharge for an exciting 2025! We’re looking forward to supporting you and your communities in even bigger ways in the new year.

Cheers to you all! 🥂

You don’t have to be Keanu Reeves to pull off an awesome AMA! Did you know some of the most popular AMAs have been with ‘normal’ people with unusual experiences or roles? Like a lobster diver that got eaten by a whale: I survived after being eaten by a whale? Or a vacuum cleaner engineer?

But seriously; ‘normal’ people with interesting jobs and experiences can make for entertaining and intriguing conversations. Like the AMA from a bloke on a megabus from Glasgow to London, a tube driver for London Underground or the actor from Willy Wonka Experience have been hugely popular threads. Share your experiences!

Simple steps to creating AMAs

1️⃣ Cast the net!

Make a mod post like this inviting users to come forward and get in touch if they want to participate. Maybe their uncle is a window cleaner of the Shard or a deep sea diver! They can get in touch via the email address; [email protected] or modmail

2️⃣ Verify

We encourage proof photos from participants unless they wish to remain anonymous. The mod team can ask for evidence to ‘verify’. This is typically the guest holding up a sign with their username, plus the time and date of when they will be available to answer questions.

3️⃣ Coordinate, launch and have fun!

With the new AMA feature, users now have the option of an AMA post. The guest will just need to set time and date when they are free to answer and hit submit. We recommend a gap of 24hrs. Make sure the guest includes when they will be able to answer in the intro. Normal reddiquette must be followed but remember to have fun!

💡 Email [email protected] for more resources or questions. Here is a guide for AMA guests

Hey mods,

Hope you’re all doing well as we wrap up the year! Whether things are winding down or getting busier for your communities, it’s a great time to celebrate all the amazing stuff you’ve achieved this year.

I wanted to share a few fun and creative ideas to help mark the end of 2024 in your subs. Feel free to give these a go if they work for your community – and as always, I'm here to help if you need it!

1️⃣ Run a 2025 Predictions Megathread

Invite your members to share their predictions for the year ahead. These can range from serious to lighthearted – the more creative, the better! You can track the most upvoted predictions throughout the year to see which ones come true. If you’d like, we also have this Reddit-branded asset you can use 👀

2️⃣ Predictions Bingo

Take predictions to the next level with a fun community bingo! Inspired by this example over at r/fauxmoi, here’s how you can do it:

• Step 1: Create a post gathering predictions from your community (like this one).

• Step 2: Add the top-voted predictions into the Bingo App and set it up for your subreddit.

• Step 3: Post the bingo board for your community! Members will receive random boards they can complete as predictions happen. Encourage them to share their boards as they tick off predictions.

3️⃣ 2024 Wrap-Up

Prefer to look back on the year? Ask your members to share their community highlight of 2024 or post a meme that sums up the year perfectly.

Want to make it competitive? Use CommunityCup, a leaderboard app for fun community challenges. Members can share posts, and the app will track the most upvoted submissions during a set period.

If you have other ideas or need help running any of these, drop a comment or reach out – we’d love to support you! 😊

Here’s to ending the year on a high note!

Hello, I’ve messaged mod mail and on the original linked post about this being implemented and not heard anything regarding my queries. So I thought I’d ask again. What will Reddits stance be on mental health subreddits? Is that classed as NSFW? Particularly curious about the “no glamourising hopelessness”. I understand that it’s the goverment who’ve implemented this. However the policing will be down to Reddit at the behest of the goverment or they’d receive fines. So I’d like to know Reddits line on this because it’s particularly pertinent to the sub I run. We’re already pretty firm on moderation to keep things safe. But my users will end up asking about this and so I’d like to know the stance Reddit is taking.

Any ideas?

Hey mods,

I hope you're well!

I'm the new Reddit Admin responsible for community relations here in the UK. I'm very happy to be able to (finally) introduce myself to you all, and to be your point of contact for all discussions about your communities.

I appreciate that the UK hasn’t had a dedicated admin for a while now. I just want to take a moment to express how much we value the work UK mods do and all the experience you bring to the platform. I'm here to make sure your voices are heard and given the weight they deserve by our internal teams. It’s been a pleasure meeting a number of you in recent weeks and I’m looking forward to talking more about how I can support your efforts with your subreddits moving forward.

Moving forward, this subreddit will be a more consistent resource for UK mods. I'll be in touch regularly to offer you insights around stuff happening on Reddit, the projects set up to support our UK communities, and to hear your feedback and impressions on features or initiatives.

For the time being, feel free to ask any questions and share thoughts (or concerns) you have. I look forward to talking with each and every one of you :)

Hi mods, 

Given recent events and unrest in the UK, I wanted to reach out to check in, and ensure you were aware of some moderation resources that can be helpful during times of increased traffic to your community. 

First, we have the following mod resources available to you:

• The Harassment Filter The Harassment Filter is an optional community safety setting that lets moderators automatically filter posts and comments that are likely to be considered harassing. The filter is powered by a Large Language Model (LLM) that’s trained on moderator actions and content removed by Reddit’s internal tools and enforcement teams.

• Crowd Control is a safety setting that allows you to automatically collapse or filter comments and filter posts from people who aren’t trusted members within your community yet.

• Ban Evasion Filter filter is an optional community safety setting that lets you automatically filter posts and comments from suspected subreddit ban evaders.

• Modmail Harassment Filter You can think of this feature like a spam folder for messages that likely include harassing/abusive content.

The above four tools are the quickest way to help stabilise moderation in your community if you are seeing increased unwanted activity that violates your community rules or the Content Policy.

• You can request temporary assistance from experienced moderators from the Mod Reserves if you are experiencing an influx of traffic.

• Self-Serve Mod Reorder allows you to reorder inactive mods. You can also recruit more mods.

• The Reports and Removals section of your Mod Insights provides you with information about removals in your community, including admin removals.

• Using AutoModerator and the Contributor Quality Score can help filter potentially violating content, especially from those who are not trusted users in the community.

• You can keep in touch with fellow mods and seek advice from more experienced moderators in r/ModSupport, r/ModGuide, r/ModHelp, and r/Automoderator. 

• If you need to reach out to admins about an issue you are experiencing while moderating your community you can find out more here about how to reach us in r/ModSupport.

Next, we also have resources for reporting:

• Report site-wide Content Policy violations - clicking “report” under a piece of content, including violative 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 - This report form can be used to report violations of the Code of Conduct, including activity like Moderators allowing or encouraging violations of the Content Policy or interference targeting other subreddits.

As always, please remember to uphold Reddit’s Content Policy, and feel free to reach out to us if you aren’t sure how to interpret a certain rule. And if you have any questions or need assistance setting up these tools, please let us know.

If you have effective safety precautions or strategies that are working well for your community, we also encourage you to share any advice that could be useful to other mods in the comments below.

Finally, your well-being is important. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and need someone to talk to, here are some mental health charities that can provide professional support:

• ~Mind~

• ~Samaritans~

• ~Rethink Mental Illness~

Thank you for the work you do to keep your communities safe. We’ll continue to monitor the ongoing situation, and please feel free to reach out with questions or concerns. 

👋It's time to meet your fellow new mods!👋

In the comments below, answer these questions so we can learn more about each other:

1. What is the name of your new subreddit?

2. Why did you create your subreddit?

3. Does being from the United Kingdom affect your experience on Reddit at all?

LPT: Before you comment, click "join" on the sidebar and add your subreddit name to your user flair. To add flair, click on the arrow next to your community options in the sidebar to access and set your flair. Then edit in your community's name after the r/ and apply.

No matter what your community is about, from niche hobbies to intense debates, things can go off the rails fast without solid rules. Give your fellow mods a hand by sharing your sub's most important rule! Why is it such a game-changer for your community, and how do you enforce it?

Let’s give some love to your favourite subs! Which UK subreddit do you love hanging out in when you’re off mod duty?

Have a vacancy on your mod team? Feel free to share below or create your own post with the Looking For Mods 👀 flair!

Can we discuss the sunsetting of automod? Because I’m really not happy about this. Granted a person has made a work around which will be the only saving grace to this. Without automod I’m not sure I’d be happy to continue. But sunsetting automod is the most ridiculously bad idea. LLM cannot work for a sub like ours. It’s quite literally incapable of doing so. LLM’s can’t understand subtext, context, allusion to. So removing the backbone of my moderation practice for something that’s incapable of working well for me is such a massive bummer. Automod works well for us. Removing such a core tool to our moderation is just not ok and could be actively unsafe.
There’s also that we explicitly do not allow AI use on our sub. It was voted on by members and they chose not to have LLM/AI use on the sub. Because we reflect our community we enforce this rule. Our users find LLM/AI use actively detrimental to mental health. It would be a major major conflict if we had to acquiesce to AI we fundamentally disagree with in the context of mental health.

Largely I’d really like for this to be fed back to spez and the people responsible.
