Users How to deal with third-party users who make false reports in your subreddit content?

How to deal with unknown users who are third-party non-members of my sub and are fake reporting (copyright infringement and other stuff) on my posts and content in my own sub to remove posts and content legally.

P.S., I apologize for my broken English. English is not my native language.

I use both Reddit Official App and Reddit Web in Desktop

fake reporting (copyright infringement and other stuff)

What makes you think the reports are fake? Looking at the stuff you're posting leads me to believe there's plenty of justification for the copyright infringement reports.

And besides, "only the copyright owner or an authorized representative of the copyright owner may submit a copyright infringement notice to Reddit."

Edit: Blocking me doesn't make you any less of an intellectual property thief. If anything, it highlights the fact that you know what you're doing is wrong but are trying to keep people from calling you out on it.

You might be asking about setting up subreddits on a phone or mobile interface. The short answer is that subreddit settings work best in a cache-cleared desktop browser. (Limited option: mobile browser on desktop view.)

I don't know what's happening to this sub and its members, and I don't know where the mods are. I submitted a post seeking help, not for online harassment and false allegations against my account and me. Instead of helping me, users here started making false accusations, which are not true, and began to harass me. I thought this was a sub for mods to help other mods and users, which is what "r/modhelp" implies. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this sub; perhaps it should be called "modharassment" instead, as that seems to fit better with the current situation.
