Hello everyone! We wanted to let you all know that we are aware of increased concerns around responses to reports and our Safety team will be making a post next week to address.
Please continue reporting concerns via modsupport modmail - you can see full information on reporting in the sticky post here.
Any suggestions on where we should report things that do not fit into any of the reporting options listed there? I modmailed here too, and repeatedly just got told to use a form that only accepts a limited set of URLs; I can't even submit the form, let alone include any information necessary to describe the abuse I'm trying to report.
Thanks.
We also have problems in reporting subreddits (which should themselves be reportable when the mods are actively organizing large-scale spamming campaigns against other communities) and sexual or suggestive content involving minors/involuntary pornography/transaction for prohibited goods or services (where we can't include any proof/context we have, since only a link is accepted).
Reports of obvious impersonation where someone is using someone else's identity to scam, even when they openly admit to scamming, are also just ignored as "copyright violations" and told to use the DMCA form, which makes no sense to me; why should Reddit require locating a copyright holder to file a DMCA takedown, just to remove an obvious scam?

I haven't used that form in a while, as it usually just resulted in a response as long as a couple weeks later telling me that reports may be delayed if I use it, and to use the new form that doesn't have subreddits as a reporting option, and the thing I tried to report never goes away anyway.. Has this since been improved? Would much prefer this be added as an option on the new form, as it would be much faster to fill out; often times, they create multiple subreddits as well (I've seen dozens, possibly even hundreds at a time used by some of these scams), so it's not very effective in those cases to be able to report only one at a time.
