Collect direct links, not just subreddit names
Reddit moderation needs exact post URLs and comment links. Keep these in one list before you begin reporting.
Separate policy categories clearly
If content includes impersonation, harassment, or doxxing elements, classify each issue explicitly. Mixed categories in one vague report reduce clarity.
Work with moderators and platform channels
Start with subreddit moderators when appropriate, then escalate through Reddit's formal reporting paths for account-level abuse.
Preserve context of harm
If posts drive harassment, include a short summary and representative evidence. Keep it concise and factual.
Monitor repost patterns
After removal, check for reposts in adjacent subreddits and mirror communities. Re-upload loops are common.
