View submission: Suspected Campaign from Russia on Reddit
First off, user reports are an important part of the process so thank you for reporting (as well as downvoting!) this type of content. If you see something, you can file a report at reddit.com/report or click the report button on an individual post or comment.

Does that report button to action Reddit Admins or just mods of that subreddit? I've always been under the assumption it's subreddit mods, which normally would do jack shit about this.
And if it does do as I predicted, maybe put a button, for us all, that reports directly to Reddit Admins... I'm sure you'd get flooded, but that's better than someone not reporting suspected activity because they don't know how to get it through properly.

And I assume Reddit also tracks this on a systemic level? It sounds like these were brought to your attention by users - how are you handling misinformation campaigns that aren’t easily discerned by users (e.g., similar IP addresses etc)?

Do any of the user report options go directly to admins or do only the mods see them?

Oftentimes I feel like reports seem to go over moderator's and even admin's heads. I know it's a little off-topic, but has there been any effort or suggestion towards giving users a way to see if the report has been reviewed? Not a notification system like Facebook/Instagram where you also see the result of the report, but rather something along the lines of a log or list of the comments/messages/posts you've reported that shows you if and when they were reviewed.

So acknowledge the fucking fact that /u/lrlourpresident is a paid Bernie Sander spambot or fuck off with your biased bullshit.
Plain and clear. This website is nothing more than a fucking bullshit circlejerk and you retards are 100% responsible for facilitating it.

how the fuck do we report bots if there is no option to select to report a bot?
harassing? violence? infringes copyright?
at me?
someone else?
how about adding a section for it if you want people to report it.

What red flags should users look for when trying to determine if they should report an account and/or post?
Also, thank you for being proactive, and transparent with this platform!

When reporting a suspected account, what report category should it go under? Is there any plans to add a category specifically for things like this(if one does not already exist).

I know there's a major disinformation campaign about organ harvesting in China. Should I report people that continue to spout lies on the subject?

Are you folks going to anything about the astroturfing from the left? Or is your problem simply with those you disagree with?

but half the politics related subreddits are nothing but propaganda. why should it all have to be manually reported? this is not limited to russia, but news outlets, advertisers, china/hong kong situation. its everywhere and mods just seem to ignore all these subs becoming dumpsters for systematic styles of delivering messages. in fact if you cry too much they just ban you.
why is it our job? why should users have faith that the discussions they are having are natural and not part of some scheme if we have to be the ones who catch it. how is this not the same as facebook ads being misleading, paid twitter tags, fake news, etc?

I feel like there will be a lot of reports towards people who have relatively radical ideas who are NOT bots. For instance, I am completely for splitting America into two countries if Trump gets elected again.
