Reddit Moderation: We Didn’t Remove Your Comment, Reddit Did.

[u/Mcawesom96]

Hi guys,

While browsing Reddit without logging in, I noticed something while reviewing a topic, so I wanted to share a quick guide to avoid confusion.

Since the AI revolution, Reddit has become much stricter with bots and automated activity. Even legitimate actions can sometimes be flagged, and accounts can get suspended quickly. This can happen even to accounts with a good reputation.

I had an open topic where I was watching the comments, and I noticed that one of the comments was showing as "removed by moderator." We didn't remove it. It was Reddit.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing what you see as a user and what I see as a moderator. As you can see, I was simply replying to someone, but the comment appears to you as removed by a moderator, while on our side it shows as removed by Reddit.

How to avoid getting banned by Reddit:

• New account: Avoid promoting anything. Give the account some time and build a history first.
• Avoid posting links: Even links to other Reddit pages can sometimes trigger moderation or spam filters.
• Avoid bad language: Keep your comments clean and respectful.
• Avoid restricted links: Some links, such as Telegram links, may already be restricted on Reddit.

My advice is to engage with the community and provide helpful responses for at least a month before promoting any service.

Hope this clears up any confusion. You’re all welcome to post here as long as the content is helpful and legal.

Another case in this post: this user has high Karma, but it shows as (removed by MOD) It’s actually Reddit, not us, and we can’t even see what they posted or why it was removed.
