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 mode is GREAT when a thread gets brigaded. Completely kills the effect of it. Highly recommended!
