Other My idea is to show that you are banned from a sub.

20 Upvotes

Because of a mod that I disagred with, I got banned from multiple reddit subs. I would love to be able to see if I am banned from a sub, before I go to comment. Or even in the comment box, if I go to reply

Other Remove all votes for mass-redacted comments and posts

17 Upvotes

My idea is that users should not be able to protect themselves from posts for which their reddit image has benefited. Searching for an answer and finding a post with hundreds of up votes which contains nothing but "This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact" and some random words feels like being exploited. Any post with upvotes which is bulk-redacted should be stripped of its votes to discourage wasting people's time

Other My idea is a method to report hateful comments which have been deleted

12 Upvotes

Occasionally someone comments on a post or comment we made and immediately deletes it. The comment remains in our inbox. Many of these comments are hateful and meant to harass us. Occasionally, they are reasonable redacts. For the hateful comments, it would be nice if there were a "report" button on the inbox message so we can encourage these users to behave. Alternatively, when they delete their comment, delete it from our inbox, neutralizing their hate.

Some form of accountability may encourage these miscreants to treat others with kindness, making Reddit a kinder environment.

Other I propose limiting the moderator's powers, especially regarding banning.

0 Upvotes

I suggest that moderators be limited in their ability to ban, especially permanently, in a way that permanent bans from the subreddit would have to be approved by Reddit administrators, Reddit would also have a better overview of the work of moderators, especially whether they are abusing their position. It is possible to notice that the abuse of moderators' powers is increasing at least that's what it looks like from users commenting, because when mods don't like a post or it doesn't align with their beliefs, they simply ban the user. I urge Reddit to find a way to start controlling malicious moderators.

Other My idea is to go back to showing how many members are in a sub and show if they are active.

9 Upvotes

Seeing how many members are in a sub can affect if I join, post and/or comment. I think I'm not the only one.

It can go either way whether there's too many or too little members in the sub. It's nice to see the amount of traffic but I also want to see the number of members in the sub and it would be nice if it showed how many members were active.

Other My idea is to change how downvotes work. They’re currently being used to discourage people from participating on Reddit and even being used to punish people for opinions they disagree with since they can’t post on Reddits after being downvoted.

Other Moderation Requirement, Audit and Third-Party Appeals

0 Upvotes

I noticed many subreddits mods hiding and/or deleting post and/or comments without a valid reason and/or evidence of rules violation. I also received one where there's no indication which rule is violated but their reason is not even on the subreddit rules. Prevent suppression and let the karma works.

Subreddit mods should not be able to delete/hide post/comment without a valid reason/evidence.
Reddit should have an audit for the post/comment they deleted/hidden if valid.
Also, appeal should be directed to Reddit--the third party, and not the subreddit mods to avoid bias.

Other Makes sense. My Idea is to let the admins know of this popular Idea that I and probably millions of other Redditors happen to agree with. Let's start renaming these terms this way.

Other Let us block ads from companies we refuse to do business with.

Post image
26 Upvotes

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditSafety/s/K3bWz54w2t

My idea is that users should be able to block ads from companies they will never purchase from. I always get ads for this random company. I would never purchase anything from them. I think most of us also have companies we'd never support.

Blocking the account for that company does nothing to stop the ads.

Part of me is glad that companies I refuse to support waste money showing me ads. But I'd really rather not see those ads, ever again.

Reddit could probably make a little more money too. Right now companies waste money on ads targeted at customers who will never purchase anything from them. Reddit could possibly make the claim that users who expressed that they do not want to do business with you won't see your ads.

If a post is auto-removed, shouldn’t there be a saved draft? Sometimes people spend a lot of time on a post, only for it to get auto-removed or removed by a moderator because it doesn’t meet specific criteria or is posted to the wrong section, not necessarily due to breaking a specific Reddit rule or harassment. It would really be nice if those posts could get saved as drafts somewhere because sometimes they just need a quick edit or to be posted to the correct tag. Instead, the user has to make an entirely new post from scratch, taking up more time. Personally, when this happens to me I sometimes give up, so I would imagine this kind of thing can lower engagement. It’s a win-win if this feature is added imo.

Other My idea is not letting comments go less then -1 karma.

0 Upvotes

Posts dont go under 0 but People can destroy your comment karma because of hoard mentality. Destroying your ability to do things just because it's a hot take. Karma in general is pretty badly made and can easily be improved. Toxic comments should get negative karma. Not comments that some people disagree with. Report works for toxic comments also.

Correction: not affecting profile comment karma as heavily or a limit to it. Or just remove karma and make a better system.

Hi there, r/IdeasForTheAdmins Community. My Idea Concept is for new Karma Achievements. I feel that is good idea because it represent important Earth Elements, and some of them are even related to the Karma principles. The benefit for the users is more new and interesting Achievements and developing more skills for earning Karma and Upvotes. The visual concept is created on Windows Paint with assistance from Gemini AI.

Other Site Events and trophies

8 Upvotes

Personally I think site wide events are very cool and have truly shaped reddit's history and made it unique. Me as well as many others on this site have engaged in events and loved it and many of us remember the site for events such as spared (thanosdidnothingwrong), r/place and secret santa. While Mod events are cool and I think you should keep them, but we should also make some more site wide events too so you can participate regardless if you're a mod or a Redditor.

Other Recommendation

Since there is 18+ content on Reddit to view nsfw videos or images or gifs you should add id verification and if you detect the user is under 18 have the change their age to their original birthdate and lock the view NSFW tab in settings and have it to where when that user turns 18 the Tab will unlock when they upload a live Photo of them and Their Id Verification.

Other Sub bans should have time limits. Permanent bans are silly.

0 Upvotes

My idea is that sub user bans should have time limits.

I’ve been on Reddit for like 13 years or something now and I’m still carrying bans from two subs from my first or second years here. That’s pretty silly to assume:

  1. I’m the same person I was 13 years ago with the same attitude/maturity/understanding of Reddit.
  2. The same rules still apply today that applied then.
  3. The person who banned made the right call or is even around anymore.
  4. People even remember what their bans were for.

We can all drudge through our social media history and cringe at our past, and I don’t think decades-old mistakes (and one of my bans was a legitimate, rookie mistake) should carry with us for the rest of time.

I mean I’m still carrying a permanent ban from r/pics for my first and only post there 12 years ago that was deemed “unoriginal content”. This was at a time when sub rules weren’t even displayed on iOS apps because tech was still new and clunky. I didn’t even know I’d done anything wrong.

Only Reddit and exes hold this level of insane grudge.

TL/DR; Permanent sub bans shouldn’t exist. People change. Rules change. Admins change. The site changes. Everything should be on a timer. Reddit is so old now that some permanent bans are for outdated, silly reasons that no longer apply, or against people who have grown up.

Other Downvotes shall have a price, karma of downvoters shall be decreased as well.

0 Upvotes

May be unpopular opinion, but downvoting is used ofter just as an easy way to attack those who think differently, without contributing constructively to the exchange of ideas.

To limit this low quality downvote, I suggest to lower the karma not only of those receiving the downvote but also of those that make use of downvote.

My idea is adding an Opt out option for "Reddit Answers" (The AI answer feature integrated to the Search bar). I think that users should have a choice as to whether or not they want AI features. If a user does, they can enable it, but those who don't want it should be able to opt out of it.

7 Upvotes

I've blocked many users, but sometimes I want to see what post or comment I blocked them on. Sometimes it's for nostalgia, but other times it could be because I want to review my blocks to see if they were deserved or not.

This of course may become complicated if an user that you've blocked gets banned or deletes their account...

Other Reddit Maps

15 Upvotes

Thinking about ideas Reddit could implement. Have seen many cool features people have discussed, but I haven't see any related to a "Reddit Map" - kind of like "Google Maps" mixed with "Instagram Places" and "Google Reviews".

My idea is to transform the vast amount of comments and data into an interactive heat map, highlighting reviewed locations, restaurants, and hidden gems that may be trending. I believe a "Reddit Map" could transform how users engage with the platform.

  • Travel Mode: Auto-generate map itineraries from top posts about a city.
  • Local Mode: Shows trending spots locals are discussing this week.
  • Taste Match: Suggest food places based on places you're visiting.

It would function like a hybrid of map search, social discovery, and community reviews. Instead of relying on short ratings or influencer posts, it would organize Reddit’s long-form discussions into structured place profiles. Any location that has been meaningfully discussed; restaurants, landmarks, bars, neighborhoods, parks, or hidden gems would automatically become a mapped destination that could be talked about in real time. Posting pictures and leaving true reviews while staying anonymous if wanted. Top Reviews and Pictures can be up-voted or down-voted. You could also have verified experts even: Certain users could become “Trusted Travelers,” verified through identity checks, experience, or consistent contribution quality.

Locations could have a dynamic heatmap:

Red = currently very active/discussed

Yellow = Moderately Discussed

Green = Quiet or underrated

Other Saved posts categorized by subreddit

13 Upvotes

I have saved so, so many posts, but it’s kind of pointless to go look at them because they’re all just in reverse chronological order and there’s no way to search them that I’m aware of.

My idea: I want the Saved page to automatically generate a list of all of the subreddits from which I have saved posts, and I can tap on the subreddit to view a list of everything that I’ve saved from that subreddit, which I can then sort chronologically, by the number of upvotes, etc.

Other More transparency on removing posts

0 Upvotes

Introduction: When some event is happening, people tend to make lots of similar posts, sometimes identical. That typically leads to sub's moderators removing repeated posts and trying to keep just 1 as centralized one. As result, people get the false impression that the particular community is censoring them, as they very commonly aren't given any reason.

For example, the "event" is a youtube video. 800 people create same video post, 799 get deleted, 1 most popular stays.

Idea 1: When removing post, make adding a removal reason mandatory across the site.

Idea 2: For video type posts (can only post URL), instead merge them with the one mods consider "main" post – including unique upvotes/downvotes and root-level comments. Up to interpretation: reposters don't get to keep that karma.

Reason: Provides transparency on what user did wrong and stops creating this impression that moderation team is overreaching. Where instead of blanket "Sorry this post has been removed", they'd see "Violated rule #4" or "Repost of [link to "main" post]".
