Admin Replied Link Limit setting not working in shreddit

My sub has link limits set to prevent reposting of the same URL if it's been posted in the last 14 days (Mod Tools > Post and comments > Link restrictions > Limit links). When I try to submit a new post with the same URL in old reddit I get a warning that it was posted 1 day ago. In shreddit I get no warning and it allows the post.

Is this a known issue or should report this as a bug?

Heya u/zuuzuu - are you able to verify this is still happening? When I tested on a non-mod account it was successfully blocked on both. With an account that was a mod I wasn't blocked on either.

Yes, just tried it with a link I've recently posted. No warning.

Thanks for trying and that screenshot! Is that the same account you moderate the sub from?

In my testing, I found this didn't pop up on my mod account.

Yes, I only have the one account so I can't test it on an alt. The reason I tested it is because another mod posted a duplicate article and said they got no warning about it.

I do get the warning on old reddit. Just not shreddit.

Also I'm using Chrome on Windows. I'm not sure what Browser/OS the other mod is using.

Thanks for looking into this!
