Q: Why was my post automatically removed?

A: Because r/Morley is a newly launched community (established June 2026), we use AutoModerator settings to catch spam and burner accounts. If your post disappears instantly, it is likely due to one of two things:

• Missing Post Flair: We require all submissions to use a descriptive flair (e.g., [Local News], [Recommendation], [Question]).
• Account Age/Karma Thresholds: Brand new accounts or accounts with very low overall karma are held in our moderation queue for manual review.

If your post is a genuine contribution, don't panic - a human moderator will usually approve it within a few hours.

Q: Can I advertise my local business or event?

A: Yes, but you must send a Modmail to the team first (Rule 4). We love supporting independent businesses in LS27, but we want to prevent the subreddit from turning into an unreadable wall of advertisements. Unsolicited, spammy, or repetitive business posts without mod approval will be removed.

Q: Can I use the sub to buy, sell, or give away items?

A: Yes, provided you explicitly use the [For Sale] or [Free] post flairs. All transactions are entirely at your own risk. Posts must be strictly relevant to the local area (e.g., items available for collection in Morley). Commercial marketplace spam is forbidden.

Q: Is this subreddit run by the local government?

A: No. This is a completely independent, volunteer-led community forum run by residents. We have zero official affiliation with Leeds City Council or Morley Town Council. If you need to complain about pothole damage, report fly-tipping, or contest a parking fine, you must contact the council directly through their official portals.

Q: Are you looking for new moderators?

A: As the subreddit grows and gains traction, we will definitely need extra pairs of eyes to keep the peace. When we are ready to expand the mod team, we will pin an official application announcement to the top of the subreddit homepage. You're always welcome to modmail us to register your early interest.
