View submission: May Mod Experience Product Updates

Is there any update on being able to snooze non-custom reports? We've had trolls mass reporting comments. And when we gather up a bunch of links and report it for report abuse we get "After investigating, we’ve found that the reported content doesn’t violate Reddit’s Content Policy."[1]. I had to escalate to r/ModSupport.

This was a suggestion I had written as well. I know this isn't about reports, but curious if it's on the roadmap somewhere.

We need an ability to snooze non-custom reports. This also means we need to know who is reporting it so we can properly snooze it. My solution to that is give a randomized username so we, as mods, can see a pattern. So it could show this as the report reason:
> Reporter_Cheetah_Orange_1425: It's promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability
And then if we see a lot of reports all from this randomized username `Reporter_Cheetah_Orange_1425` we can snooze the reports by them. That way they can stay anonymous, but we also can do something about it. (Even better if we can ban them but keep them anonymous still).

At the very least let us snooze any report even if it's not custom so we can cut down on mass report abuse.

Thanks so much for taking the time to detail all this feedback. This actually falls within the domain of one of our Safety teams. I've passed it along to them, and they let me know they're in the initial discussion stages of scoping out the work to expand "Snooyports" to all report types. This could happen later this year, so please keep your eyes peeled for future updates on this front.
