"Reddit's Moderator Rewards Program Aims to Address Site Discontent"
Reddit is launching the Mod Helper Program to reward moderators who offer helpful advice to other moderators, amidst growing discontent among the site's moderators due to API pricing and lack of moderation tools. The program is a tiered system that awards helpful moderators with trophies and flairs. Reddit also launched the Modmail Answer Bot to streamline moderator requests, merged the moderator-specific Help Center with the sitewide one, and promised improvements to mobile features. However, some moderators expressed frustration over the lack of useful moderation features on Reddit's official app and questioned the effectiveness of the new program.
