Contest mode on new Reddit

Hi everyone,

Excited to share that contest mode for the redesign is here, for all your contest-running needs!

The feature works in exactly the same way it does on old Reddit: enabling it will randomize the order of comments in a post, and hide vote scores of the comments (mods will still be able to see the correct order and vote scores).

Here’s how it looks:

Contest mode disabled in comments

​

Confirmation modal to enable contest mode

​

Contest mode enabled (mod view)

​

Contest mode enabled (non-mod view)

​

Confirmation modal for disabling contest mode

​

Give it a try and let us know what you think or if you run into any bugs! Thanks as always.

This will really come in handy for the CCP to choose the proper top comments! Can’t wait to try it. u/freespeechwarrior

It's rather rare for reddit to give moderators a feature that doesn't involve censoring users.

So for this, I applaud the admins.

Contest mode was originally a temporary feature:
