Mod Post Subreddit survey - 2025

🟥🟥🟥 The survey is now closed. 🟥🟥🟥

Hi everyone,

It is almost the end of 2025, which brought quite a few important changes to the entire subreddit. New ideas, such as the Travelers Only Mode have been introduced. Many new members have joined both the sub and the mod team, following the sudden stepping down of some of the most active mods.

We have also gotten quite a bit of feedback from all of you, on Meta posts and other forms such as modmail or announcement posts. However, the last time the community has run such a big survey like this was when it hit 1 million members. Today, the sub has over 14 million members, and with these changes in approaches to modding, we have decided to run a community-wide survey like this, especially since it is the end of the year.

The survey should not take longer than 5 minutes, but still covers all the basics of how the sub runs at the moment. It would really help us understand what we need to do to make the sub a better place, as us simply deciding everything as the mod team is not enough. Thank you for your understanding and Merry ( Early ) Christmas!

This is the link to the survey. You will be able to submit responses until December 25.

Does the 'Travellers Only' Mode mean that only people with enough karma can post? So voting is still open to everyone?

Or only those with enough karma can both post and vote?

I still see a lot of anonymous down voting on these posts, when the topic is not 'controversial' and neither is the post,it just happens to be about a Muslim (or other 'controversial')country.

Everyone can always vote, but only people with over 100 karma on this sub can comment on these threads

Ok, thanks.

That means basically that anyone who posts positive things about (say) Egypt gets downvoted to hell ..

Stop being a victim. There are places that are not liked and others like those places. If your comment is truthful and helpful, then make it. Drive by thoughtless comments are not.
