Is there a way to report a subreddit that appears to be exploiting SEO tactics? I came across a subreddit that uses popular course names in its titles, promoting their business even though they don’t actually offer those courses.
When people search for these courses, they end up seeing these Reddit posts since they rank well, and it seems like the entire subreddit was created solely for this purpose.
Can anyone advise on how to report this subreddit?

Yes, you can report a subreddit if you believe it is being used for spam or deceptive practices. Here are a few steps you can take:
Report Individual Posts: You can report specific posts within the subreddit by clicking on the “report” option below each post. Select “spam” or choose the option that best fits your concerns.
Contact the Moderators: You can also reach out to the moderators of the subreddit directly. Click on the “message the moderators” link typically found in the sidebar of the subreddit and explain your concerns in detail.
Use the Reddit Help Center: If you believe this subreddit is violating Reddit’s content policies or exploiting Search Engine Optimization tactics, you can submit a report through the Reddit Help Center. Look for the option to report a subreddit or spam.
Provide Evidence: When reporting, it helps to include specific examples of posts and a clear explanation of why you believe the subreddit is problematic. This can assist the moderators or Reddit admins in addressing the issue.
Remember that moderation actions can vary, and it may take time for the team to take any action.
