View submission: Mobile moderation on Reddit
Yeah, so on the home or a custom feed I have. I have a feed with the subreddit I moderate in it along with other technical subreddits (/r/sysadmin, /r/itcareerquestions, /r/netsec, etc). I'm just browsing the feed enjoying content from reddit, but if I see something from my subreddit I'd still do moderation activity from that feed. However, I might not click on every single post. I don't know if you can see my subreddit's mod notes, but see this post for example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/136ywzo/fda%5C_cisa%5C_illumina%5C_medical%5C_devices%5C_vulnerable%5C_to/[1][2]
Seems reasonable with regards to content (or at least title and preview you'd see from a feed). Browsing the feed I might not think twice about looking at that thread. Security advice around vulnerabilities, no problem, but not my industry so I'm not too interested in it. But that user also has a red "abuse warning" flag on their name which I won't see from the feeds. If you look into their mod log that user has 16 moderator actions against them and is flagged as having previously been farming links to similar content. Seeing that little red flag next to the username while I'm browsing would prompt me to check out that post in more detail.
As an aside: Interestingly if you look at the mod log you can see that we've taken action against posts that don't show up on their profile (this thread for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/10p11e2/emotet%5C_malware%5C_makes%5C_a%5C_comeback%5C_with%5C_new%5C_evasion/[3]). Would be great if we had a solution for that so we could see that content. I *think* that user also used to spam content onto other subreddits as well, but has likely deleted those threads, so we can't see it. Makes it really hard to moderate this type of activity where people are promoting their business, breaking advertising or self-promotion rules.
There's nothing here!
