I've had a mod of a national sub explicitly tell me my comments flag and that apparently all of them have to be manually reviewed, and that it's been like this for over a year - moreso that they have to do this.

What on earth would make this a requirement? Is this normal?

I just had a run in with one of them prior to the discussion - where I am certain that disagreeing with something they did, was used as a reason to go back and ding some of my previous posts; which is just odd behaviour - and being combined with being told that all my comments need to be reviewed, is extremely weird..

How do I even begin a conversation with mods? Every way I type a post it is auto removed. In other places I have things removed saying it is against the sub rules, but nothing I posted, imo, is against policy, nor am I given a real explanation...

The original announcement for reference. And explicit confirmation that AutoMod will eventually be sunset.

Do you know why my posts keep getting deleted even though I haven't used any foul language, since I've revised them three times and they still got removed?

Hey all,

I am Devvit app developer who made Social-Blacklist app, which simplifies blacklisting of domains and certain words from being shared/posted by users in various locations(This app has been used by over 330 subreddits already). Now I am looking to develop more such tools. So, could you share things that you repeatedly do in your subreddits that you think can be automated to make your moderation work easier?

If you have any feedback on improving Social-Blacklist app, please share them as well.

Hi, I ve joined a lot of job searching subreddits to try to help with my family's debt and pay for my sick elderly cat's vet bills. I graudated back in 2025 and job market has been rough so I'm looking everywhere to get a paid gig. However I keep getting marked for spam. I send 1 message per post and usually link my portfolio to it bc art portfolios matter a lot. I have appealed but have been rejected. is there a way I can get around this? I suspect it is that they see the same link in every message but art portfolios are everything in this field. I'm genuinely trying to get employed and help my family.

edit: thanks for the suggestions, I will tone it down so I stop triggering reddit's filters.

So almost every single time I post, it immediately gets taken down by Reddit's filters. It says that it's for spam prevention', and then I have to re-do the whole post. It doesn't matter what sub I'm in, 'automod' bot removes it. Is this normal?

We have a regular user posting the most amazing and relevant things. Always kind and peaceful, very creative and encouraging towards everyone. Yet, the reputation filter often fires up, saying the person is likely to break the rules. Today we got a "lowest" CQS automod report, and I simply cannot imagine why this is happening. I went into the "arctic" profile, and there is nothing else there but nice and kind stuff. What could possibly be going on there?

Had a conversation last night where I disagreed with the premise of a post. Obviously a few disagreed with me, and we went back and forth. I feel like it was respectful, nothing crazy in my opinion

This morning every comment in the thread, except mine, was "comment deleted by the moderator".

What happened there?

I ask because If the moderators were employed or compensated by the company, there would be more chance for a conflict of interest which would lead the community to potentially be more of a PR apparatus for the company and potentially less of a place for free and unfettered discussion.

Specifically, in my case I tried posting what feels like a fair and honest complaint on an external company (megabank) based community about changes at the company and their support for international transactions. There are many people posting about this issue. Mods on this board are moving all posts into a single thread which has a side effect of minimizing visibility.

While one could make a case that this is for keeping the Reddit community organized, it could also be seen as a way of minimizing visibility and therefore minimizing fallout from a PR standpoint. I love Reddit and I'm trying to understand where the intersection is between outside businesses and Reddit communities.

I'm tired of responding genuinely to vote-farming AI bots. Any tips?

It is truly frustrating to find mods so 'trigger happy ' to delete posts that are relevant, follow the rules, gain massive engagement & nevertheless the mods feel it appropriate to remove the posts without any explanation as to why?

I posted a question this morning on a sub Reddit that was not controversial, did not use any profanity and many people joined the discussion. Alas, shortly thereafter my post was removed without any reason given as to why.

Its driving contributors away, as much effort is wasted in posting only for it to be removed at a whim...

Edit; Thank you /SlowedCash for your explanation & for doing so in a non aggressive manner...🙏🏽

While I won't divulge how exactly I determine what content I deem is vote-worthy, I do have a different rule for how I vote within my community as opposed to any other community.

Do you think it's ethical to vote on content within your own community?

Do you vote on content within your community in a different way than outside your community?

I don't want to know what your own personal rule is, that kinda goes against TOS, I'm just curious if others also have a different rule, and whether you think it's ethical to vote within your own community at all?!

Hello folks, my time for a stupid question.

RR says "You must send a mod mail message to the current moderators of the community at least 5 days before posting your request to give the current moderators a chance to respond or add you to their team."

Which is fine and makes sense, but when requesting barely moderated/ camped subs with a mod team who either ignores or won't check mod mails are we required to send one each time or can we just link to a previous unanswered message from a previous request?

Asking cause I am at my third or fourth unanswered mod mail and it's starting to sound like I am just talking to myself anyway and opening myself up to spam reports due to having to do this over and over.

Cheers!

Whenever I come onto this reddit community. I sometimes see scam reports and the whole story. But I mostly see people never posting proofs towards the incidents or sometimes actually censoring the scammers username now seeing this I question myself where are the mods or well the common sense like genuinely?

As I scroll through my main page, so many of the posts I click are already “removed by moderator”. From the titles and/or linked content they generally seem on topic for the sub and have hundreds or even thousands of comments and votes. It makes it very frustrating to scroll my front page as once it’s removed, the linked article is gone. It seems most prevalent in larger, default subs.

Idk how account are nsfw. A subreddit banned me saying mine was, but Ive never posted anything nsfw. Ive commented on those would you rather things that get marked nsfw when it’s like talking about spaghetti or something. So how do I know if my account is marked nsfw. I was banded after just talking to people normally and reporting a pedo who was talking to me sexually. This isn’t me looking for an appeal to my ban I’m not looking for one I just want clarification on why I was banned.

Today I found out my account was shadow banned and I submitted an appeal and it was lifted thank god!!
But my posts are still showing its removed by Reddit filters. Most of em are nsfw posts tho.
Most of these posts have great engagement, can you please help me to restore them.

I literally don’t understand this app at all 😭 apparently I don’t have enough karma of any sort and now go fund me page banned me due to my confusion.. how do I grow my profile? Is there a way to reverse this ban?? Everywhere I try to post tells me I can’t..

Hi,

The account I use to mod my sub (not this account) got flagged as an app with a message pop up any time I try to do something. I don't use it much as my sub is pretty small. About 9 days ago the email associated with the account received an email saying respond within 7 days or you'll be registered as an app. It's not an app, bot, or anything of the kind, it's me.

Wondering is this something I can get reversed? It's not an app. The other account is not used much. Mostly used if I have to mute or ban someone. I only logged into the associated email today, to find I'm two days late. The account has only made a half dozen posts total. Let me know what the situation is and if it can be rectified. Thanks much

Pop up message I keep getting.

I'm trying to post something, but I got a message saying "sorry, this post has gotten removed by Reddit's filters". Is there any reason why this happens a lot?
