< Reddit Award

Reddit awards are noticeable as small icons next to posts and comments. They are gilded from an awarder to an awardee. The process of awarding a post/comment is refereed to as "gilding".

Traditional Awards

Awards can be obtained from randomly freely or via the purchase with Reddit Coins. The traditional original awards were Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

Silver (cost 100 coins) is just an icon that looks fancy. Gold (cost 500 coins) provides 1 week of Reddit Premium plus 100 coins. Platinum (cost 1800 coins) provides one month of Reddit premium and 700 coins. The coins can than in turn be used to reward other Redditors. Reddit awards stack on top of each other, i.e. they are cummulative.

Any Redditor can reward a post or comment with a visible gold, silver, or platinum commendation. Gilded posts or comments are usually more visible and tend to receive more attention and upvotes.

Awards can be used to influence opinions and certain behaviors in a given community.

Award Types

  • Medals: Silver, Gold, Platinum, Argentium, Ternion
  • Community: Custom awards crafted by moderators
  • Reaction: Ways to express viewers reactions (aka vanity awards)
  • Premium: Only available to Reddit Premium members; shinier and more flashy

Community Awards

Moderators can create their own awards by specifying the cost, text and icon. Subreddit have a community bank. Each time a Redditor gives a community award, the community bank gets credited 20% of the spend coins.
