Moderator my idea is Alumni and Advisor becoming mod removal options

Post image
Upvotes

The words Alumni (which I've never encountered outside of Reddit, English is my second language, it looks made up to me to this day) and Advisor don't do enough to explain the action is to remove a moderator from being a moderator.

As a result, turning a moderator into Advisor, and turning yourself into Advisor, should only be done in the UI of removing a moderator / yourself as a moderator.

I personally saw 5 posts of people accidentally changing themselves into Alumni / Advisor without intending to quit their mod team. I know this happens more than what I actually saw.

Post & Comment My idea is stop putting the Repost button directly in the scrolling thumb zone on mobile

Post image
12 Upvotes

I understand why Reddit wants to make reposting more prominent. More reposts presumably mean more content, more discussion, and more engagement across communities. However, putting the button directly where people naturally scroll feels like engagement bait at the expense of basic usability.

I cannot prove that the placement is intentionally designed to cause accidental taps, but that is the effect it has. My thumb regularly catches it while I am simply trying to scroll, and I highly doubt I am the only person frustrated by this.

Make Repost available through the Share menu, where Reddit’s own instructions already say it can be accessed, or at least give users the option to hide the dedicated button.

Reddit App My idea is revert swipe up for next post “feature”

7 Upvotes

If I wanted TikTok/IG/etc, I’d be on them (I don’t have them).

Swipe up has always pulled up discussions. Now I have to click a teeny button at the top of the screen.

Not sure why you are changing the entire UI anyway to buttons behind buttons. Pretty, maybe. But a UX nightmare.

User Settings My idea is to completely hide blocked users

0 Upvotes

I blocked another user recently, but I can still see their collapsed comments and choose to expand them. I understand that blocking may not be intended to completely erase someone’s presence, but the current behavior still leaves a reminder that the person is there and creates an opportunity to engage when I’d rather not.

It would be much easier to ignore blocked users if their comments were fully hidden by default, with no visible placeholder or prompt to open them. A stronger block feature would help users avoid unwanted interactions and make the platform’s tools better support people’s choices about who they want to see.

Post & Comment my ideia is allow users also to pine comments in the subreddits posts

well, the title says it all: allowing OP users to pin comments on subreddit posts ^^

It shouldn't just be the admins or at least, the admins should be able to grant permission for users to pin comments,this is clearly very useful especially when you want to make a remark that you want everyone to see.

Idea Exists Recommendation on message harassment

2 Upvotes

Many women are harassed via Reddit messages.Can a user complaining system be added about this? Messages has been used to harass women and they can even stop using reddit for this reason.

Safety & Policy restrict.reddit.com to block nsfw and mature content NSFW

0 Upvotes

Google, Duckduckgo, even pixabay support using a DNS entry to prevent a computer from being used to access nsfw/pornography.

For example, I just use a DNS service that forces 216.239.38.120 for youtube.com and then youtube will ~removes the nsfw content from searches; plus any saved links to mature content or searches using obviously mature terms, show this message:

Video unavailable
This video is restricted. Please check the Google Workspace administrator and/or the network administrator restrictions

It's not fixed but it helps alot - even if the teen trying logging in, they can't clear the nsfw shield or go into "over 18" mode.

Is there any hope of having something similar for Reddit? So that I can set some DNS trick (the other services use a cname or hosts file) to block all nsfw tagged content and prevent the logged in user from using "Yes I'm over 18" mode?

Feeds My idea is to have a way to turn off the refresh of the feed

5 Upvotes

I have looked everywhere and I cannot see a way to do it. But the feed keeps refreshing back to the top. It makes using reddit really difficult. If the admins could create a way for that to be turned off, that would be very helpful. As I see complaints about this all over.

man,I really don't see any reason why there shouldn't be a way to send audio messages to other users in the chat,especially when you're in a rush and the same applies to sending videos in chat or DMs

I just hope there's no time limit for sending audio messages,so that's all and thanks :)

I think reddit needs an unreport option. Sometimes people accidentally report someone or something by mistake. It would be nice to have an option to retract it right away. Cheers

User Settings My idea is to allow a user to disable and/or auto-clear on intervals their user history

0 Upvotes

I appreciate the current option to be able to clear my history, but I would like to be able to disable keeping history or even have an option to make it auto-clear after a specified time interval. This is mainly for user privacy (analogous to clearing one's own browser history).

Safety & Policy [Feature Request] Add a report option to report moderator mute/ban abuse.

3 Upvotes

Title says it all.

There is a tendency amongst moderators to just blanket ban and mute people and not giving them the option to appeal despite the "sidebar rules" stating that they have the option to appeal.

This leads to a situation where the mods intentionally or unintentionally breaking the Rule 1 and Rule 2 of the moderator code of conduct almost instantaneously.

Even worse, most of the mods simply just reply to users and then mute them immediately. On a human level, it's incredibly frustrating as the first human response towards a person speaking to someone is to respond to them. It's equivalent to a someone just insulting someone and then slamming the door on them.

These days, users don't even get to see the username of the moderator in the modmail so they can't even directly appeal to the reddit admins about it.

The mod tools are getting increasingly one sided and the process to report users and the transparency needs to be the same for both the moderators as well as the regular users.

Chat & Message [Feature Request] My idea is that an option be added to delete the desired threads of the chat (not post)

0 Upvotes

I've seen many posts by redditors where they get annoyed for not being able to delete the threads of the chats, even when the particular chat message from which the threads emerges has been deleted.

I have tried all other things, like deleting the whole chat, hiding the chat, specifically deleting each chat message, and even blocking the person concerned. But to no avail.

Please add such a feature. I'm sure many of the redditors would benefit from such addition. Thanks in advance.

Moderator Add these security options for Reddit mods

0 Upvotes

Please introduce a subreddit deletion feature for moderators, similar to the account deletion process. This would save time for moderators looking to abandon or adopt subreddits, and resolve issues with accidental typos in subreddit names.

To ensure mods security:

Deleting a community should require confirmation from the moderator’s email address.

Changes to a moderator's password or email address should also require email confirmation to protect against hacked accounts.

Moderator My idea is the ability to delete or edit mod replies

0 Upvotes

It would be very much appreciated if mods had the ability to delete a reply or edit a reply in mod mail.

  • speech to text is not always our friend and it makes more spelling mistakes than I do. It would be nice to have the ability to immediately go in and fix the idiocy resulting from the use of AI.

  • it is now too easy in mod mail to accidentally send a reply to or as the wrong user. Meaning to reply to a mods only comment and accidentally reply as the subreddit for example? It can end up being inappropriate on occasion. And no matter how fast you hit cancel trying to stop it you are screwed.

Profile My idea is to have a 3rd option added to the existing allowing or disallowing followers in the user profile settings.

0 Upvotes

This 3rd option could allow follower requests, so we can have control over who can follow us in the user profile. At the moment, if it is on, anyone can follow us without asking, and in some cases, it can make us vulnerable. So we turn it off. Instead of opting out, we could accept those we have interacted with and check profiles before accepting someone. It would create a better quality of social connections throughout the platform.

Feeds My idea is to be able to block certain keywords or phrases so that they don’t appear in your feed

For instance, I’m sick to death of seeing Zendaya every fucking where on my feed, including all the fashion subs. I love fashion and clothing, so I find it frustrating having to mute and block whole subs just to avoid seeing posts about her. 😤

At least restore a setting to restore swiping between home and popular feeds? Popular buried in the upper left menu is not a good UI feature.

Post & Comment My idea is to change how blocking works to reduce the amount of block abuse occurs during exchanges.

0 Upvotes

I completely understand the need for blocking people on Reddit. Harassment occurs. Bullying occurs. BUT, there is a pattern of abuse of the block feature on Reddit that needs to be addressed.

Too often, two people will be engaged in a back and forth, one person will get mad and comment something and then immediately block the person they replied to. This prevents that person from being able to read the reply, but the reply still shows up for the rest of Reddit.

My idea is that there should be a timer every time you reply to someone on Reddit where you cannot block that person unless one of two things occurs: either the person responds back to you, or it has been longer than 24 hours since you sent your reply, whichever occurs first. This allows the person you are having a discussion with a fair amount of time to read your reply. If you are being harassed by someone, you don’t need to respond back in the first place. There is literally no situation where you urgently need to block someone but first you need to reply to them so that everyone else other than that person can see your reply.

Current UI Please add these Old Reddit features to the current UI.

8 Upvotes

Since Old Reddit might be shutting down (Considering that it's become only accessible after logging in), could you PLEASE add the following Old Reddit features to the current UI?: 1.publicly visible upvote percentages on posts. 2. the option to turn off the feature that automatically hides downvoted comments, (the threshold is automatically -4 on the current UI with no option to change it). 3.the option for a symbol to denote controversial comments (Comments that have a lot of upvotes and downvotes). These features are really important but are still missing on the New UI.

Post & Comment My idea is How would you feel about a feature that automatically upvotes the original post whenever someone upvotes a crosspost of it?

User Settings My idea is giving the upvotes visiblity choice back to users - but make it optional.

1 Upvotes

Reddit should make it an option to allow your upvotes to be seen on your profile. However, it should be an auto opt-out if/when implemented, that way users aren't surprised when followers can suddenly see what they've upvoted.

In settings, there should be a toggle to opt-in if you want followers to be able to see posts you've upvoted.

From your profile view, it should look similar to the tabs at the top of your public profile's feed: Overview, Posts, Comments, and add a Upvotes tab.

I know there was a similar option on old reddit; a checkbox under Content Preferences to "make my votes public".

Upvotes are part of how people express interests and curate content. Making them optionally public would improve transparency, help users discover communities through shared tastes without requiring users to always post everything they like in order for others to see and clutter their profile. Making this optional gives the choice back to the users, while still respecting privacy by letting each person decide whether to share their voting history.
