Inspiration

Reddit's mod queue is chronological by default. For any active subreddit, this means critical violations — doxxing, threats, crisis content, coordinated spam — sit buried alongside low-priority reposts. Mods waste 40-60% of their queue time just figuring out what to look at next.

What it does

ModTriage wraps the mod queue with an intelligent scoring engine that automatically classifies every reported post and comment by severity. It scores items across 10 signals: account age, karma, report count, prior ban history, keyword matching, and more. Items are bucketed into Critical (≥80pts), High (≥45), Medium (≥20), and Low (<20) priority tiers and delivered as a live dashboard directly to Mod Discussions — so mods always know exactly what to action first.

How we built it

Built entirely on Devvit 0.12.23 using the @devvit/web template with Hono for routing, Devvit Redis for all state persistence, and Devvit Scheduler for automated alert jobs. No external APIs — all data stays within Reddit's infrastructure.

Key features

  • Automatic priority scoring across 10 signals with transparent reason display
  • Live dashboard delivered to Mod Discussions on demand
  • Critical alert system via mod-mail when items are unactioned past 15 minutes
  • ModAction trigger tracks ban/removal history so repeat offenders score higher automatically
  • Domain repeat-tracking detects spam waves across multiple posts
  • One-click report generation summarising all queue activity
  • Zero configuration required — works immediately after install
