ModFund. Publicly and privately funded Reddit Moderator fund. Reddit could factor in by way of donation matching. Funds are divided up (like tips) yet weighted by factors of moderation -- to be decided and voted upon by Mods. There may be a threshold for how long one has been a Mod before they can qualify for the ModFund. Internally at Reddit, the fund can be supported through ad revenue. Create the fund through a foundation for the gov tax breaks.
- A Donate button that connects to pre-existing payment methods, like Patreon.

ME TOO-L: a tool that automatically checks usernames and signup emails against the national sex offender registry; automatically creates a case issue within the system when a match is found. Where/how possible, verified matches will automatically inform the Mod Queue, Banned, Reputation Filter, and Ban Evasion Filter. If there is no way to do this yet then by G0d, I would make one.
A designated Moderator Inbox.
A Reddit branded AI-powered social browser plug-in or even full browser (a la Flock). Can either pay for browsing or a credit system for bug reporting.
Widget out the forum technology and license it. “powered by Reddit” always leads to the parent platform. Think, if Spotify decided to go social again or if Pitchfork wanted to start, and it had a Reddit-powered widget that was an extension of its subreddit.
A moderator-informed response generator -- general notices, dropping the ban hammer, fires, etc. Give it a cute UI; enter in a response that's made-to-order.
User-sourced democratic voting mechanism for community-based employees as a means of opening lines of communication between Redditors and corporate stakeholders. This facilitates shaping this part/exchange of Reddit more of a democratic republic. (Why yes, it is a bit like a How's my driving? sticker.) Consider a unique experience for this on mobile -- Urbanspoon unique -- and perhaps set a precedent here?
Reddit status page for which subreddit is currently on fire/schoolyard fight — call it something fun like r/weenieroast. It’s reminiscent of early 2010 tech bubble startups re: outages, recent bugs, and fires being put out. Pet friendly: two orange bouncy balls packaged to look like Snoo’s eyeballs. 🟠_🟠 Gold balls can be sold this way too.
- I actually just realized how I would package the Sn00 bouncy ball eyes.
  Look at golf balls, and then think of a wedge ramp* where the face of it is the Re: wedge ramp Like how a makeup palette opens at the bottom and the other part is the hinge. And if you don’t already know that it’s cut out to look like their face and antenna then you have no imagination and must I do everything around here? (jk)
Merchandise: home office friendly focus — retractable novelty pen 🖊️ where the Snoo head opens up, tilting head solar powered clock with the display face in the Snoo tummy, Snoo head succulent flower pot for desk, Reddit mouse pad, Snoo stress ball, water bottle, travel mug, Snoo tea steeper 🫖 you get the idea? Avoid banded apparel as that's a tailgating/safety issue.
Opt out of Gen AI at the post and comment level. (e.g. LinkedIn's post privacy settings toggle.) Account level opt-out flow must be easy to use, decode jargon using plain language help copy on or near buttons/options.
For where plagiarism continues to be a problem then let's have a cross-reference checker for that too. Users spend time crafting long-form comments, jokes, analogies, etc., and understandably don’t want them to be copied for cheap clout.
Monetize moderation accomplishments: a platform-specific currency that can be used to purchase merch (proposed below).
An 11ft tall, soft plastic, hollow seated Snoo for photo ops in a designated Reddit office lobby.
Glow-in-the-dark logo sticker sheets. Try using negative space ex: name logo outline.

Aside: Put over simplistically, brand equity overgrowth in the coming year to increase user value. Perhaps, an attempt to reconcile the conflicting values of people sharing what they’re going through in their lives on Reddit x Reddit will let companies scrape UGC for a price.
