View submission: Mobile moderation on Reddit
Yes 200%. I really love this function on all my communities, I use it for all kinds of stuff outside of removal reasons. First of all, it's just good to be able to post from that account for anonymity. But it's also a great place within Reddit to store and archive things you constantly repost, like answers to frequently asked questions. Instead of saving them in a notes app, Google Docs, or scrolling through your comments to find the last time you posted it, it's saved right there in the removal reasons folder. This whole feature needs to be expanded in many ways. We need to be able to post *from* the u/[sub]-ModTeam account as if we're logging into it, outside of removal reasons. Make it so we don't have to remove and approve comments to reply from that account.
While we're at it, can we please have the option to send *both* a modmail *and* a stickied comment for removal reasons? I find I need to send *both* to users breaking rules. It's incredibly tedious to do all this every time I remove something-
1. Hit remove.
2. Select the right rule.
3. Select removal reason Private: Modmail, and send.
4. Approve the post/comment.
5. Remove the post/comment again.
6. Select the right rule.
7. Select removal reason Private: Sticky comment, and send.
As well as the fact that this seven step process makes it very likely that I'll hit the wrong rule and/or make some kind of mistake. Can you imagine what this is like when you get to a post with multiple comments in it you have to remove?
We need a button that sends *both* at the same time! Expand this feature Admins! So many mods love it, it just feels so primitive right now, and could be so much more.

Agree with all of this, but offering a possible tip in the interim. For comments I commonly repost (that aren’t excessively long), I have them saved in my phone as keyboard replacement text. So when I type “KEYWORDX”, it will automatically prompt me to replace that with my saved text (in the same way that iOS defaults to changing “omw” to “On my way!”).
We also have a semi-complicated Automod that can automatically make a pinned comment from Automod based on a custom mod post flair and reporting. There are certain types of posts that this is very useful for (that wouldn’t be flagged normally in Automod because there’s no common keyword).
But yeah, even with that I have longer copypastas saved in my Notes app, and it would be much nicer to be able to post as the mod team.
