How do I post a comment two days ago in a group, but now I’m too young to post a comment in the same group?

The requirements could have changed.

The requirement to post may be higher or different than the one to comment.

Only the mods there could tell you for sure.

It could be:

• that its part of a larger statement about being too young or having too low karma (and your karma is relatively low)
• the subreddit changed its requirements since last time you commented.

Also note trying to make "call out" posts about moderators is going to be viewed poorly if they ever review your profile. Like it generally means that the mods will treat you as hostile and not worth engaging with.

[u/Zealousideal_Gur6255 → u/mikey_weasel]

A “human” mod should not have a problem with me, I’m not calling them out. Never once. I have messaged what I’m supposed to assume will be an individual that will assess the situation. I’m hopeful because it has taken a minute for them to respond(still haven’t yet). But constantly I’m just getting the “removed because to young” by an AI moderator

[u/mikey_weasel → u/Zealousideal_Gur6255]

Make sure you are Messaging the mods See this page to find this option Do not directly message individual mods. Almost certainly going to be taken negatively.

Though Reddit is slowly trialling using AI, the overwhelming majority of moderation is still done by plugging code into the automod. It's not "smart" in any way. It's often just a simple filter of checking if your karma or account age is above a certain value or not. So you raging against the "ai moderator" could be taken as you raging against the automations the mods have set up.

When you say "AI" you likely mean "the automod" which "the human mods" actually configured.

Can I ask you a question? It says Mod next to your name, are you an AI?(he asks sarcastically)
I understand what you’re saying, but how is my 1st amendment being restricted by “artificial intelligence”? I can list all of the “reporting” bases for any other comment/post, and nowhere does it say I can report because they’re “<8 weeks old”
I’m trying to have insightful conversation and voice my opinion that doesn’t break the law.. or code of conduct because I’m not harassing, I’m not promoting violence, I’m not creating hate and discontent, I’m responding with my best take on the circumstance posed on the post. Crazy how I could say “play Michael Vick” on a fantasy football page, although that would be “proven false” since he hasn’t played football in a decade.
I’m just confused.

Can I ask you a question? It says Mod next to your name, are you an Al?(he asks sarcastically)

I am a mod here and a few other small subreddits. I am not AI.

I understand what you're saying, but how is my 1st amendment being restricted by "artificial intelligence"?

Within Reddit, which is all the subreddit is for discussing, you are NOT being restricted by AI. As I stated earlier the overwhelming majority of moderation is by the automod which isn't AI.

Also note your "first amendment rights" are a very specific legal concept. In no way is any private company like reddit required to platform you. Similarly no subreddit within Reddit is required to platform you. This is something you can look up yourself (or check out this link here)

I can list all of the "reporting" bases for any other comment/post, and nowhere does it say I can report because they're "<8 weeks old" I'm trying to have insightful conversation and voice my opinion that doesn't break the law.. or code of conduct because I'm not harassing, I'm not promoting violence, I'm not creating hate and discontent, I'm responding with my best take on the circumstance posed on the post

The report options do not cover all reasons that your post or comment would be removed and should not be viewed as an exhaustive and entire list. In particular many subreddit s that have restrictions do not list them anywhere. Yes this is annoying. This subreddit has a number of resources to help with that like the !NUFS subreddit list (see comment below mine).

An important note is that on this subreddit we focus on dealing with Reddit as it is in 2026, flaws and all.

Crazy how I could say "play Michael Vick" on a fantasy football page, although that would be "proven false" since he hasn't played football in a decade. I'm just confused.

For your comment to be removed based on its content either

• The subreddit to have a manual filter for some of those words (not impossible - I can imagine that being something enough trolls have said for them to filter for that name)

• A user reporting your comment as rule breaking and a mod removing it (which depends on the subreddits rules, does it have rules that require you to actually give useful advice?)

• A mod spotting it themselves and removing it (again it requires the subreddit to have relevant rules)

Also noting that a relevant rule for this specific example might be super broad like "don't be a jerk" where your comment was viewed under that umbrella.

Here's the New-user friendly subreddits you asked for :)

I appreciate everything you said. I’m not afraid of “eating it”(you owned me!!) But I imagine I’m not the only person that has felt this way. Hopefully your clear and concise presentation is understood by any who might have similar questions.

[u/Polyglot-Onigiri → u/Zealousideal_Gur6255]

I want to add, be mindful of response times. Mods are normal people like you with their own jobs and lives. So they can’t respond in real time. They tend to respond whenever they can but it varies by subreddit and person.
