Reddit has launched the Mod Helper Program to reward moderators who offer advice to other moderators, as well as an updated moderator help center. The move comes amid discontent among moderators who relied on third-party apps that were shut down due to Reddit's API pricing. The program awards helpful moderators with trophies and flairs based on upvotes received in r/ModSupport. Reddit has also introduced the Modmail Answer Bot to streamline moderator requests and merged the moderator-specific Help Center with the sitewide one. However, some moderators have expressed frustration at the lack of useful moderation features on Reddit's official app.
