When, and how you should contact the admins as a mod

There are several reasons you might need to talk to an admin:

All redditors must not breach the content policy[1] and user agreement[2].

A few reasons to report to the admins are: harassment, violence, and doxxing.

Ban evasion, brigading, report abuse - things that impact your community, and your ability to moderate your community.

To report these things first check Quick links for reporting to the admins[3] if your issue is not there, try here[4] or here[5].

Provide as much detail and evidence as you can, and always be polite.

If your sub, or account is compromised, or your account has been suspended or banned and you don't know why. See here[6] for suspended or banned accounts. See here[7] for quarantined subs.

If you are experiencing a huge upswing in activity on your sub, perhaps due to a TV finale, natural disaster, news story etc there is now help available. Moderator reserves[8] is, at the time of writing, a brand new initiative. The idea is that mods can call on reserve mods when they need a hand. Also see r/ModReserves

If the lead mod of a sub has vanished or is behaving in ways within the sub that the other mods don’t agree with an application can be made to the admins to remove them as a mod and to take over the sub. This can be done via r/redditrequest - read the sidebar, and the top mod removal process is here[9].
