Hello, Mods!

It’s officially summertime, the weather is fine, and we’re kicking it off with two new exciting mod features this week. Thanks to all of you who shared these “r/ideasfortheadmins” over the years – because of your thoughtful suggestions these features are now a reality.

As stated previously, an important goal of ours this year is to close the feature parity gap between the desktop and mobile moderator experience. Today we’re excited to take another step on that journey and bring removal reasons to our iOS app for mods. This means that if a subreddit has created removal reasons, moderators using our iOS app will now be able to apply a removal reason to any post or comment they remove from Mod Queue. If you do not wish to leave a removal reason, you can dismiss this pop-up by selecting "No specific reason." In the coming weeks, we will launch this feature within our Android app.

In May we announced[1] the ability to sort your Mod Queue between “Newest First” and “Oldest First.” Last week we continued to build on our previous work, and launched the new capability to sort your Mod Queue by “Most Reported First.” This capability is currently only available on the redesign but will be available within our mobile apps in the not-so-distant future. This will help mods identify and address the most potentially problematic content within their Mod Queues first. We’ve got a couple more tricks up our sleeves for how we can continue to improve how mod teams engage with their queues, so please keep an eye out for those announcements which are coming up on the horizon.

We can’t state this enough, but thank you to every mod who has had a conversation with us, left us feedback, and taken the time to share their opinions on how we can continue to build and improve the tools Reddit’s moderators use every day. We’ve got an exciting summer lined up for all of you, and we can’t wait to share more news on the mod tooling front soon. Stay tuned and drop any questions, thoughts, or feedback you have in the comments below.

Really wish we could get better alignment between iOS and Android feature releases. Not sure why you can't just hold releases to be at the same time and instead of the "in the coming weeks" vague expectation.

Most reported first is a useful improvement, thanks.

This is awesome! No longer will our mobile mods have to rely on workarounds like a flair bot!

Will it remember your decision of comments vs. modmail? Also, please tell me modmail will ~~hide the username~~ (confirmed) and archive the modmail by default. Sending all removal reasons to the inbox and giving all mods an unread was like spamming everyone, so I'm glad that was finally fixed on desktop.

Oh, also, just checking, can we dismiss the pop-up? We should absolutely still be able to remove things without giving a reason.

Can we please have an option to disable this?

We rarely leave removal reasons on comments, and even the “no specific reason” workaround more than doubles the amount of time/clicks it takes to complete a single action... Which adds up quickly when you’re doing hundreds of actions.

I like the idea of the feature, and it seems very popular, but it needs a disable function

Will removal reasons ever be supported in the API?

Is there a way to disable the mobile removal reasons? We use custom flairs to state reasons and we have way more flairs than rules so it’s less effort with the old way

Thanks for the update! Is the option to add removal reasons only available when removing from the Mod Queue, or will it also display when removing posted items?

Would it be possible to make it on mobile webpage too?

Anything that helps close the parity between desktop and mobile is a win in my book!

Is it fair to assume once that’s been closed (even if it takes years) that the parity between old reddit and mobile would be next?

Please make this toggle-able. Here[1] are my thoughts on the matter. This should not be a thing for comment removals.

PLEASE LET US DISABLE REMOVAL REASONS

Forcing removal reasons onto every single comment and post removal adds an entire extra click to every modqueue removal. This is a 100% increase in clicks. It also takes time for that modal to pop up. This REALLY slows down modding. How do I disable this?

We have more removal reasons than the screen can display but it’s not allowing me to scroll down for more removal reasons. Can that be fixed?

Can we mobile users get access to modmail on iOS again? I used to be able to access it, but haven’t been able to for months now.

Mobile Removal Reasons
iOS only

You go on about reducing a feature parity gap... but instead just push it further down the line.

Whatever you've just released has completely knackered moderating across the board. I've said this before but you really, really need to start testing stuff properly because this is far too frequent to be anything other than incompetence on the part of the QA team.
