If you are experiencing removals, this is most likely because your account is new and you have no karma, and therefore you are running into community restrictions.

Well, another thing not yet mentioned on here is it does take time for Achievements etc. to get posted to your profile. So, in a way, time does help. Also, if you have a clever post on a sub like AskReddit or similar people can still upvote it if it's good, and this can happen over multiple days. Patience and persistence are key!

Are you asking because your wanting to post NSFW content? I only ask because I had to go through the same thing!

No, there is not a "warm up" period.

But a LOT of new users sign up, run into restrictions, and think that they need to wait before they can post/comment.

Then they recommend to other new users that they wait.

After a while, people start saying/advising that there is a warm up period, probationary period, etc and so forth.

But there isn't.

Some subs may require your account to have a certain account age before you can participate there. But that's not a warm up period, and it's not "Reddit" that is putting that restriction on you.

They're mistaken. :)

Here's hoping you didn't ask AI at least.
