Appreciate it, ty for asking!

First off, thank you to everyone who takes the time to test early access features and share honest feedback; it genuinely shapes how these tools are built.

On the trophy front: we haven't walked away from recognizing your feedback, but the original approach of creating and granting separate trophies for every single feature test has become challenging to scale as MEAP expands.

We’re still working out the exact details, but our current thinking is to move toward an annual MEAP trophy to recognize your participation over the course of the year. The goal is to make recognition reliable and sustainable without pulling bandwidth away from maintaining the program and supporting product feedback.

Nothing is set in stone just yet, but that’s the direction we're exploring. Thanks for bearing with us while we work through it!

Nice kick off y'all!

As you should!

I mostly only drink water or hot chocolate. Also I don't like water bottles with a straw.

I would suggest looking into Reddit Pro to help understand your general brand across Reddit. There's a "content" feature within Reddit Pro.

Here are a few more help center articles:

• https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/24368510335892-What-is-Reddit-Pro
• https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/24368958859668-Sign-up-for-Reddit-Pro
• https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/24387985254292-Eligibility-requirements

As for native features, you can use the mod tools features "scheduled posts" to draft posts ahead of time and have them submit at a specific date and time.

Consider checking out r/RedditforBusiness.

These cannot be disabled.

Engage with the community and start moderating again. After a period of sustained activity, you’ll automatically be listed as "active".

You can read more about it here.

Thanks for sharing this feedback. Knowing what support you need is super helpful as we evaluate migration paths from AutoMod to tools like Automations or Rules Hub.  Future vision for Rules Hub may include supporting these types of use cases. You can sign up for the MEAP to test Rules Hub and experience what it currently offers and test out future versions of it.

There's a link in the help center article I linked above.

I would recommend chatting with the mod team to confirm they'd be cool with upgrading your wiki. Then you can move on to requesting to get it enabled, see more here: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484260038420-Reddit-wikis-for-your-communities

Thanks for providing the answer!

Hey, as others in the comments shared - this is fine! Please always be safe when sharing and receiving personal information, be responsible with it!

Of course keep the ModCoC in mind - moderate with integrity in mind.

Sharing a snippet from a guide I helped make a long time ago for r/CasualConversation:

We leave notes on suspicious users, good users, banned users, warned users or users who we think are a little out of the ordinary. If a user has a note on them, you'll see it next to their username while on the subreddit with toolbox or you'll see the note icon on new Reddit or mobile. Notes are essential to help us keep track of users. Please use the note feature as much as you can.

Warning Without a Ban

If it's a basic rule violation or the user didn't do something very severe, a simple warning should be fine. Use a removal reason to send the warning without revealing your username. If the content is a comment, send the reason to modmail, so it doesn't create a thread of users asking about the removed content

Banning

We have 3 bans we do here, warn bans, temp bans, and perma bans.

—Who do we ban? - Well we ban people who blatantly break our rules. Users that are blatantly racist, homophobic or any kind of hate speech will normally warrant an immediate permanent ban. We also permanently ban non-human accounts otherwise known as bots.

—Why do we ban them? - We ban them because they are annoying, they bring nothing positive to the subreddit.

—What do we ban? - Anything that is disrespectful towards another user or group is subject to immediate ban. Depending on the offense, the ban can be from a few days to permanent. This includes harassing, trolling, and being just an awful person, basically anything that is in our /wiki/etiquette/ page.

—Warning Temp Bans - Warn-temp bans are used as warnings and should be issued from 1 day to 2 weeks. If you think a user needs to think about their actions or how they contribute to the sub this is the one for them.

—Temporary Bans - Temp bans should be issued from 2 weeks to 90 days, any longer and the user probably deserves a permanent ban. If a user was previously 'warn-temp banned' then they do something else, they should get a temp ban.

—Permanent Bans - Perma bans should be issued if a user was previously banned. If a user falls under any of the above examples they may be subject to an immediate perma-ban. Also, as mentioned before, if their violations are especially egregious, such as harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and trolling. If they are in violation of sitewide rules, you should also report them to admins: https://www.reddit.com/report

Except for the awful users, it should normally go like so: Warn or warn-temp ban > temp ban > perma-ban

If a user is warned make sure to put a warning mod note on them so others can quickly know if they've been reached out to before about their behavior.

Popular Threads

Disclaimer, for bans. When a thread has gained a lot of activity, been highly upvoted, and has attracted a lot of outside users. It's fair to be a little more heavy-handed on the bans. Feel free to hand out bans on users who aren't typically active in our subreddit and who are just flying in from r/all - r/popular and the likes. They mostly come in spewing vitriol and not properly abiding by the rules. The ban should be for as little or long as you think is appropriate.

hey, heads up, I clarified some of this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/1vx8nrx/comment/p5wbc8y/

+ u/ExternalTangents

Quick clarification on how activity gets calculated. We can't share exact numbers, but in addition to actioning content, activity covers normal participation like posting, commenting, replying to modmail, and regular modding over time, not just items recorded in the mod log. There's no need to click buttons purely for the sake of triggering activity metrics. Just moderate and participate as you normally would.
As a reminder, these rules only apply to public and restricted subreddits that have two or more moderators, over 5,000 subscribers, and at least 50 contributions per week.

You can read more about this in the help center article here and here.

Thanks u/SampleOfNone, I made the Community Forms app!

u/Savings-Passenger-37 It lets you create a form natively, on Reddit. Which also has the benefit of capturing and verifying the username of the person filling out the form. If you end up trying it out, I'd be glad to know if you have any feedback on it.

From my experience lurkers often are the most engaged with a community. They may seem inactive on the front, because it's not verifiable by seeing posts or comments they created. But lurkers, heck I do this, usually see more content on a community since they are not actively participating.

Lurkers can also participate in other ways such as voting on content or reporting on content. Anyone else remember r/knightsofnew?

Adding on to this other comments here. It's perfectly fine to limit permissions of other mods, especially new mods to help them get acclimated. Some mod teams prefer it this way and often graduate new mods to full permissions after they had time to settle in and get used to the tools and mod team. However, ensuring they have the proper permissions is import to allow them to be able to moderate and not be held back. The mod-guide training queue is a helpful tool to help get some new mods up to speed.

At some point, it could be useful to write a few guides for your subreddit to help new mods understand what it's like joining your mod team, set expectations, and guide them towards a communicative team. It useful to have an open dialogue with your mod team, to understand what might be holding them back, and help discuss the best approach.

Sorry - we could have used clearer verbiage here. Any mod team that’s been invited to try out Rules Hub should have received an invite to the Mod Early Access Program. We are not checking whether or not the subreddit has it turned on, so you will be able to review feedback from other mods teams without having it turned on. Hope this clarifies and please let us know if you didn’t receive that invite.

The heart is indicative of leaving mod note on a user, using the "helpful" label, which is only viewable to mods. This is different than creating a mod only user flair, which you can then apply to yourself. This is also different than distinguishing a comment or post to add the "mod" label to your username.

Of all the available ways, the one I would recommend for what you are looking to accomplish is creating a mod only user flair and applying it to the mods of your community. You can upload an emoji, or use one provided, and some text, and some color, then make it mod only.

Hey, stopping in to say that https://support.reddithelp.com/ is an official site provided by Reddit, which hosts all our help center articles.

And +1 to u/ZsoltEszes above, please consider capitalization when creating your subreddit as these cannot be changed in the future.

Sorry, that was a miss on on our end, but I'm glad to hear you are interested in providing feedback. We're looking to invite mods of subs who have Rules Hub enabled to join us in Mod Early Access so you have that space to provide feedback. Keep an eye out in your modmail soon.

I really think that mods of subs who are enrolled in these experiments should be automatically added to a specific sub for the particular experiment.

This is the plan going forward! 

Hey! As others have mentioned in this post already, you can do this by going into the mod tools for your subreddit, creating some flair, and enabled the require flair setting. Read more in the help center article!

There are a few other ways to enhance this by creating some Automations or playing around with one of the many flair devvit apps.

Hey, stopping by to share a link to the help center article for this, be sure to check out the FAQ section!

Calling out this line from the article: These restrictions only apply to public and restricted subreddits that have two or more moderators, over 5000 subscribers and at least 50 contributions per week.

You can safely ignore the tag for now since there are no restrictions for your communities size.
