View submission: Wrapping the Golden Upvote Pilot + New(ish) and Improved Awards
If redditors notice potentially harmful awards on a post or comment, they can report it to you for removal if needed. Safety is paramount to us for refreshed awards - so please don’t be shy (we know you won’t be) if there are other ways we can ensure safety for your communities as awards roll back out. NSFW subreddits, trauma and addiction support subreddits, and subreddits with mature content are not eligible for awards.
Does this also include general mental health support subreddits like /r/adhd? Because it needs to. We mods don't want this on /r/adhd whatsoever.

Same with r/shingles and probably many many others, including non-medical.
Further, an awarded post or comment **does not necessarily equate** to a quality post or comment and yet it will be perceived as such by many community members.
Cool. I guess my mod queue is about to get a lot longer now.

Thanks for sharing your concerns – we’re right alongside you in wanting to keep communities safe and prevent misuse of awards. Awards will be available in general mental health support subreddits like r/adhd, and anyone will have the ability to report a post or comment that shouldn’t receive awards based on our Contributor Monetization Policy. These reports go to the Reddit Safety team for review, where they’ll determine to approve or remove.
You��ll also have the option to remove an award from a specific comment or post if it has been reported. If your mod team decides to remove the reported award, that award is disabled on that comment or post completely, removed from the leaderboard, and cannot be purchased.
It’s still early days in this re-introduction of awards, and we’ll keep your feedback in mind as we plan ahead.
