Hello folks,
We’re starting to think about new mod tools to help with content moderation. We’re updating the mod tools sidebar from “post requirements” to “content controls” to have a more catchall place to group new tools.
Here’s the before and after of the sidebar. No new tool is rolling out yet, but we’re looking forward to sharing more with you soon.

It is much more than about posts now. "Content". Yup. That's what it is.
Between the common nomenclatures of Content "Settings", "Filters", "Actions", etc... "Controls" seems most literal and universal.

Oh, these are the new non-AutoModerator operated mod tools mentioned several months ago, right? Interested to see how they turn out.

Everyone knows what a post requirement is, but nobody knows what a content control is. Plus, content control implies there's active moderation to be done here rather than proactive, like a post requirement. Have you considered this?

This is very cool and good to see. My sub is looking for something like "behavioral filters." Basically, there's one or two people who downvote *all* content, every post and every comment, several times a day. Some of the other mods in my community have reported similar things happening on the other subs they moderate. If you've got a mid-sized niche sub, with only 10-30 thousand subscribers, it really affects the character of the sub. People stop wanting to participate. Just filtering out particular posts or comments doesn't fix the problem we have.
I'd really like to work with somebody on this issue. We've been looking at deploying some kind of bot that would auto-upvote when people auto-downvote, but I think it would be easier with a mod tool. Who do I talk to?

fine.
But aren't there many (far) more important issues?
1. whenever I want to look at traffic stats, I have to reload the page before I can see anything.
2. there's still no bulk editing of user flairs
3. new modmail is fine but could be better (archiving mod discussions, the display of a users past posts/comments is tiny and not very informative)
4. other ideas: more buttons in unmoderated/modqueue: seeing a users posts and comments from just this community for example, a setting so I automatically send a modmail removal reason as the subreddit.
You're doubling your workforce - please do something for us mods: we're doing this voluntarily but the least you can do is put in effort to improve our workflow.

This might be also better suited to r/modnews, surely?

When will we see changes to the AEO system? As of now reports are not adequately investigated and many horrible subreddits and comments are not put in context. Its difficult running a peaceful community when we get random brigades of trolls and bigoted users. There needs to be a way yo report a subreddit as a whole.
