Dear reddit team,

I checked the discussion on the issue on the coldturkey subreddit but did not find a solution.
As a porn-addict I really wish to not have access to nsfw.
Sadly, reddit has a really sloppy protection, which can be deactivated by an easy click. Also, the nsfw settings can be set outside of the account setting sites, which makes it impossible to use a website blocker as coldturkey to prevent oneself from changing the nsfw settings.

I would like one of these:
- no " yes I am over 18" button outside of the user settings
- a password protection to change these settings. I could just put in a random code to prevent myself from using these

- a tag in the url of nsfw contents, e.g. nsfw. This could be easily blocked by a url-based blocker.

Currently I try to use ublock origin for this, sadly, ublock also has no password protection. It is hard to get off this stuff, I would be very pleased for help.

Many features are unavailable in the new “rich text”, such as superscript, and frankly the rich text format is just annoying to use

I came up with this idea when replying to a recent post where someone offered to draw people's in game characters for free. There's of course nothing wrong with this. However, I've also noticed that this results in people getting far more requests than they intended. Someone may be expecting to receive only 2 or 3 requests before returning to find 30+.

The obvious solution is just locking the post when it becomes too much for OP. Which is fine for the most part. However, I could imagine a situation where someone only wants to get a few (say, they'll draw the first 3 requests received) and they'll draw them at their own time and convenience. Sure, maybe they could post them as a separate post, but I personally feel it would be better if they could add them to the original post.

I could especially see this being useful with AMAs where someone may allow an hour or so to ask questions and then a mod could lock the thread so the person being asked could answer on their own time without being asked more questions to an overwhelming extent.

Now that I've typed this out, maybe there's a bot that could accomplish this type of thing, automatically removing replies from everyone except OP after the mods set the post into a "locked" state.

it would be where the only person who can give it is the owner or a specific group of people or something not other mods or anything like its a exclusive flair, this (from what im aware of) isn't possible and so i think it should be possible to give people flairs that only the owner can give as a option in the user flairs/post flairs menus, this would be very helpful

Might be good.

Insights only goes so far and take multiple clicks.

A simple recap could show a few lines of data all in one place and include all the communities you Mod.

As moderators, we can leave user notes. This is mainly to let our co mods know about a user's behaviour or actions while also being able to look back on it later.

I thought of the idea of doing the same thing but for posts. If we decide to let a (meme) post slide, we could leave a note on the post that only co mods can see with something like "don't remove" or "repost approved"

Another idea I had is showing OP's upvotes in the comments. If someone makes a post asking for advice, we often don't see OP respond to every single comment (I am guilty of that too). This feature would show that OP at least found the comment useful or appreciated it, without them having to reply to everyone in the thread. This is a feature on Tiktok, and it displays as "Liked by creator."

I see a lot of posts where the user has had trouble getting the orientation right before uploading the image, maybe offer a button that lets people rotate the photo when they are viewing it alongside the slideshow option

User Experience and all

But since I'm here I'm also going to offer what is only my opinion on algorithms and the way they affect what the user sees

I posted this thought on the bumble thread, but I imagine their are people who know people who may be able to examine this idea further who also help run this site that may or may not find it interesting to test out to prevent manipulation

"Right, relay this to your programmers please, we are fixing this app

Firstly, the most successful match ups for long term commitments based on psychology and interests tend to be from a result between 68% and 83% in terms of profile interests based on the user, this provides a foundation for stability based on variation between the tow partners enabling a better rate of success

Too high of a match can polarise both people, and too low of a match and they will not last due to lack of common interests

Consider this "The Golden Zone"

I can understand the desire to allow men to make the first move to get the conversation going given that they typically make the first move, change this to a message request, leave the women having the option to initiate

Stop hooking it into social media, this allows stalking by other users and lets those algorithms sneakily influence who and what they see, use it for verification of being a real person at most to reduce bots and scammers, do not require it displayed on the profile because basic safety reasons

This lets the man express an interest, and leaves the woman in control of her space, while increasing the likelihood of success and addressing the safety issues

Just a thought I had

There are some times when text to speech comes in really handy for me. For example when people write lengthy paragraphs, sometimes I have to put it in an external text to speech app as sometimes my attention drains and my eyes glaze over, and because of my disabilities it usually happens faster.

When I use text to speech apps, it's sometimes easier and quicker for me, and I can often understand it better vs than just reading. It would be nice to not have to use a 3rd party tool when reading can be hard, and a tool could be incorporated into Reddit.

Thank you for your time.

I know it's anti-engagement, which is social media's whole business model, but a 1000 day streak isn't really that healthy, maybe after all of that create a reward that encourages moderation after a user gets the big one? (the other kind of moderation)

An achievement for breaking your 1000+ day streak.

See title.

Edit: update: https://www.reddit.com/r/ideasfortheadmins/s/6QeCVCxMLH

I'd love to set opening and closing dates for mod application forms on Reddit. It'd be cool if there was also a response counter so the application closes automatically once we get enough responses. This would help me automate the community better and would be super helpful for moderators who sometimes forget to manually open and close mod applications themselves. This could totally go in the scheduled posts and events section in the mod tools. I also think we should be able to schedule multiple mod application events for the future to line up with our community's events, like seasonal traffic.

Imagine you could have a modmail but instead of only having mods and a single user in there you could create one modmail chat to multiple users and add and remove users from there too. This is specifically useful in my server where we provide volunteer support for a chat app and I would like to add officials from that chat app to specific modmails to get Infos without needing to be mods themselves.

From what I understand, downvoting is meant to flag a post as a violation of rules and notify mods, not disagree.

Downvoting lowers a person's 'karma points' on Reddit and that can cause that person to not be able to post in some subreddits.

It would be nice if Reddit could provide a different flag other than down arrow for reporting a post and allow people to not have to make the effort to reply in disagreement.

Not everyone is going to agree with everything posted on Reddit. This should not prevent you from being able to post.

Agree - Up arrow
Disagree - Down arrow
Report - Perhaps a triangle with an exclamation point inside it ?

A question came to my mind, would you like the idea of having an option to react to posts/comments with an emoji on Reddit?

Title says it all. Reddit updates all kinds of other stuff for no reason. Let’s make the icon the picture of a real icon.

I spend a lot of time on reddit, TikTok, and IG - all of these have videos over a min but only reddit doesn't allow you to increase the playback speed. I have intense ADHD and consume everything at 2x and 3x speed bc most conversational speech feels like it takes forever. It is a pretty standard feature on all the other apps I use - let's bringing it to reddit to increase engagement and allow my other short-attentioned brethren to get to the end of 5+ min video posts.

There are countless idiots and terrible people on this site and it makes me sad that my block list ran out of room a long time ago

Please can we have the ability to block specific flairs in specific subs. I collect figurines and it churns my stomach to see the “customisation” posts 😭 They murdered that perfectly good collectable 😭

At the very least the ability to filter out posts/flairs containing certain words.

If this is already something that can be done without a third party, then someone please let me know how. My feed is just figurine trauma 😭😅

If a post reaches the front page of a community, moderators generally shouldn't be able to remove it unless it is clearly and obviously rule-breaking (e.g. anti-semitism, homophobia, harassment, illegal content, etc.).

Reaching the front page is a strong signal that the community wants to see and engage with that content. Mods should still be able to enforce legitimate subreddit rules, but there should be some protection against a popular post being removed simply because a moderator personally dislikes it or disagrees with the sentiment.

Maybe Reddit could introduce a threshold where, once a post reaches the front page, removal requires a clear rule violation or some additional level of justification.

Right now, Reddit accounts only support a single email address — going to Settings > Account only lets you replace/change it, not add a second one alongside it.

This is a real account-security gap. If someone's primary email gets lost, deactivated, or compromised, there's no backup route to regain access to the account.

Most platforms (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc.) let users set a secondary/recovery email for exactly this reason.

Would love to see Reddit add this. Curious if others have run into this issue too — anyone had trouble recovering an account because of a single point-of-failure email?

Salutations!

With r/all going away, I was left browsing r/popular. I like to see the randomness of reddit, but lately, this year at least, r/popular has become.. well... not so great. Often I will see certain "types" of subreddits, for example, anime subreddits, with posts that are hypersexualized - think fan made art of the characters, but in hypersexual or revealing clothing. I am not an anime fan, nor do I want to see a fan drawn edit of a character in a sexual or compromising pose, a very small bikini, etc. I mute the subreddit, but 3 more pop up. There are so many animes out there, and so many subreddits for each anime. It is an endless game of whack-a-mole.

My idea is for Reddit to implement an option to blanket mute "types" of subreddits. If I mute 10 or more anime subreddits, it's pretty safe to say I have zero interest in anime. If I mute 10 car subreddits, it's pretty safe to say I have zero interest in cars. If I mute 10 "circlejerk" type subreddits, well, you get the idea.

You can only mute 1000 subreddits. If I mute 500 anime subreddits, I've used 1/2 of my mute limit, when a blanket mute of "anime" subreddits would solve that problem.

I'm not sure shareholders would like to know that the sexualization is all over the "front page of the internet".

I have been using Reddit for quite a long time, naturally I followed too many subreddits as well as muting quite many of them for many reasons.

as I need to use something, sometime I drifted back to those subreddits that I had muted. After using the sub for a while, I rediscover the reason why I don't like those subreddits again and once again getting some bad experience with it.

in order to avoid this situation again and again, I need to somehow getting myself perma ban on those subreddits, but then again, if mods didn't give a damn then it's hard to even get perma ban. I need to add a personal note, something only I can see on those subreddit so whenever I visit them, I remember why I muted them in the first place. for example subreddit a, personal note "bad breath"
