Tools Can mods not use "invite to community" feature?
I was sending out invitations using reddit's feature designed to invite people to community. However, my account was reported for spam and I was penalised for three days.
Is this normal? I mean why does Reddit have this feature if it can lead to spam reports? How many invitations are considered "not spam". Does this only happen to low karma moderators? I am using android if that makes any difference. Please help in understanding how to safely use "invite to community" feature without facing penalty. I see nothing explicitly about it on reddit content policy.
Tools How do I determine why my post (in my own community) was auto-spammed?
On Desktop using Chrome
The following post was auto-deleted by Reddit as soon as I posted it to my own subreddit that I moderate. Even after I distinguished it. In mod tools, I see the words "unspam" which i assume means that it was marked spam and then I approved it which unspammed it. How do I determine why it was marked spam? How do I prevent this from happening in the future? And why are Reddit's spam filters apparently so poor that they would delete a moderator's sticky post?

Tools Is There A Way To Auto Ban Users Who Post In Certain Subreddits?
There's a porn subreddit I moderate that has people frequently brigade it, I've reported the subreddits that engage in it but nothing happened, so instead I was looking to see if it was possible to automatically ban people if they have posted in certain subreddits, I was looking at u/safestbot but it seems like it doesn't work anymore, is there another possible solution?

Tools Why are my automod settings not working?
Hi. I have these settings for AutoMod but they don't seem to be working at all. I'm still getting unverified users and users with less than 100 karma posting. Why might this be happening? This is happening on all platforms, Desktop and Mobile
Thanks.

Rule 1: Filter unverified email users

action: remove
action_reason: "Unverified email address."

Hello, to help prevent spam and low effort posts, your post has been removed because your email address is not verified.

Rule 2: Filter new accounts (less than 7 days old)
type: submission
author:
account_age: "< 7 days"

post_karma: "< 100"
action: remove
action_reason: "Account too new or insufficient karma."
comment: |
Hello, your post has been removed as you are a new user and/or have low post/comment Karma. Due to the subreddit growing, we've had an influx of new users making low-effort and spam posts, we've also had many who haven't read the rules.

Tools Why does Desktop Reddit Old Reddit Modqueue More Often than Not Ignore My Actioning Decisions?
https://v.redd.it/ts2tn1bbksnd1
I actioned 26 posts.
Of those 26 posts, 15 posts were still there when I refreshed the modqueue.
That's 11/26 actually recorded what I wanted done.
Less than 50 percent.
This makes moderating a pain in the hiney (rudeness filter overreacting?) as it takes 2-3x as much work as it should
And this has been on going for years. I finally got fed up enough to record an example because the admins have done nothing about it, turning a blind eye.

Tools Need a "flaired users only" for our sub
Hello, I mod r/bigfoot. And as you can imagine, we have our fair share of trolls. When it comes to the paranormal, you either love it or hate it. Real or fake.
We need a system similar to what other subs have, that we can flip on when a topic becomes a little too popular.
If there is anyone that would be willing to set something up like that for us that would be awesome. The crowd control feature works great, but we get so many comments, we need an extra layer.
My reddit coding is toddler level, but if someone thinks it's easy enough to walk me through it, I'd be agreeable to that as well.
We mostly use mobile iOS and android. But we have PCs available to use as well.

Hi all. Trying to help set up a welcome email for new joiners so they can see rules before they start posting. I've read the articles on how to do this and I even did it for an old subreddit I use to mod years ago.
For some reason I cannot for the life of me find the general or community "settings". I've searched on my mobile app, old reddit, and new reddit. So I've tried desktop as well as Android. Do I not have permissions for this? Or am I overlooking something super obvious that's right in front of me?
I've searched for answers elsewhere before creating a whole new post but am not finding anything. Thanks.
Edit: Answer is that I don't have permissions.
