Parameters:submission – The submission to moderate.

approve()

Approve a Comment or Submission.

Approving a comment or submission reverts a removal, resets the report counter, adds a green check mark indicator (only visible to other moderators) on the website view, and sets the approved_by attribute to the authenticated user.

Example usage:

# approve a comment:
comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
comment.mod.approve()
# approve a submission:
submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
submission.mod.approve()

contest_mode(state: bool = True)

Set contest mode for the comments of this submission.

Parameters:state – (boolean) True enables contest mode, False, disables (default: True).

Contest mode have the following effects:

• The comment thread will default to being sorted randomly.
• Replies to top-level comments will be hidden behind “[show replies]” buttons.
• Scores will be hidden from non-moderators.
• Scores accessed through the API (mobile apps, bots) will be obscured to “1” for non-moderators.

Example usage:

submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
submission.mod.contest_mode(state=True)

distinguish(how='yes', sticky=False)

Distinguish a Comment or Submission.

Parameters:

• how – One of ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘admin’, ‘special’. ‘yes’ adds a moderator level distinguish. ‘no’ removes any distinction. ‘admin’ and ‘special’ require special user privileges to use.
• sticky – Comment is stickied if True, placing it at the top of the comment page regardless of score. If thing is not a top-level comment, this parameter is silently ignored.

Example usage:

# distinguish and sticky a comment:
comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
comment.mod.distinguish(how='yes', sticky=True)
# undistinguish a submission:
submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
submission.mod.distinguish(how='no')
