    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).

    - 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)

      - 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)
