View submission: Wrapping the Golden Upvote Pilot + New(ish) and Improved Awards

Funny that the example animation is granting the snake award. That’s the one I would disable immediately for my communities because it only gets used maliciously. But now we can’t disable individual awards.

Can users literally report a maliciously granted award within the reporting flow? Or they would have to report the comment/post broadly and we’d have to guess that’s what they were reporting?

Yes, users can report a specific award within the reporting flow. Here’s how to find this reporting flow through the awards selection sheet on a post or comment:

• On opening the award selection sheet from the award icon, click “View all” to get to the Awards Details page.
• Find the award to be reported, click the menu on the right, and select Report. These reports go to the mod queue for review where you’ll determine to approve or remove. If removed, redditors won’t be able to give that award to the post or comment moving forward.

If you believe a post or comment shouldn’t receive awards at all, the current reporting flow will be applicable. Here’s how to find it:

• Open the overflow menu (...) on the content, click Report, and choose Contributor Program violation. These reports will be reviewed by our Safety team.
