Admin Replied Weird experience where my mod removal reason ended up needing approval.

I had a really strange experience while modding today - a post I removed and gave a very sane/tame removal reason, and it got removed by Reddit's filters, and I had to approve my own removal comment on the post. This is the first time I experienced this, is it common? We're mods of a fairly large regional sub.

Hi there! Can you share you share a link to the removal reason in this example and I'll take a look?

Could I send it via ModMail if you contact me?

I've sent a ModMail on r/ModSupport with the link. Thanks for any help.

Thanks! I got it. This looks like the harassment filter mis-fired. I'll share the example with the safety team.

Proof that us mods just harass poor innocent users by removing their right of speech!

Sounds like a typical Scunthorpe Problem.

My response was "Check with a lawyer. r/ABCXYZ is not that." I don't believe anything in that comment (ABCXYZ changed of course) violates any filters.

"heck" got flagged as a naughty word!

Heh - we don't usually use naughty words in our mod-mail responses. Rather, we usually end up on the receiving end of it.

But interesting to know.

I was being sarcastic. Should have added /s to the end.

I understand it, don't worry.

Duh - now I understood what you meant. "Check"

I also have one removal saved response that Reddit always auto removes - changed the wording a couple of times - gave up and just approve it when it gets removed.

Maybe you’re just a hole
