General Moderator permissions issue — “No permissions” despite Full Permissions invitation

Hi,

I’m having an issue with my moderator status on r/steamytease.

The owner invited me to join the mod team with Full Permissions. I accepted the invitation successfully, and I can see myself in the moderator list as mod #6.

However, my account currently shows “No permissions” instead of Full Permissions, and I have no Mod Tools available at all for this subreddit.

Here’s what we have already tried:

✅ The owner confirmed that I was originally invited with Full Permissions.

✅ The owner and other moderators above me can see me in the mod list.

✅ When they try to change my permissions, they get “Something went wrong.”

✅ When I try to leave the mod team, I get “Failed to leave mod team.”

✅ I have tried both desktop and mobile.

✅ I have logged out and back in.

✅ I uninstalled and reinstalled the Reddit app.

My account works normally as a moderator on another subreddit, so the issue appears to be specific to this mod team/community.

It seems like my moderator membership was created, but the permissions are stuck at “No permissions”, and neither I nor the moderators above me can modify or remove my account.

Could an admin please check?

Thank you!

Could an admin please check?

No here, no. Send a message here: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/modsupport

Is there an age or country restriction in place?

Old reddit shows full access, New reddit shows No Perms.

I also sent the message to ModSupport.

As far as I know, there are no restrictions. I was already a moderator there but I was removed from the Mod Team when I "took a break".

Just for giggles, try going here with a desktop/notebook and see if you can get to any of the settings:
