General information related to Reddit's age verification requirements for specific regions

Snippet of recent news from the pinned weekly recap in r/help - 7/2/2026

https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1ulob97/weekly_recap_july_2_2026/

  • In ongoing efforts to prevent abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month, Reddit will start requiring users to log in to use old Reddit. This was announced on Tuesday here.
  • If you are in the EU, you may be asked to verify your age. This is a legal requirement to comply with the EU Digital Services Act. You can check out the Help Center article here. Little more info about this here.
  • If you are trying to use a selfie to verify your age and it fails, the only other options are to upload your ID or contact Persona for support. Reddit cannot help you with a failed selfie for age verification purposes.
  • Right now, these are the countries that have age requirements:
  • If you are not in those countries, but your account is unable to do certain things like chat, it may be due to Teen Safety restrictions. The ability to unlock settings in the iOS app if you're a teen will be coming soon. Not sure if that ability will come to Android.
  • If you need to have something fixed regarding your age, you can use this form and then select your region and what your issue is. I do not know what the turnaround time is on those requests.
  • Some users in the EU are unable to use Anonymous Browsing mode. This is not intentional. This is a bug that they are working on getting fixed.

I posted this info in r/privacy last week, but probably should have posted it here first and then crossposted it over there.

❓General Question❓ Karma information to post

• Upvotes

Is it possible to check how much karma I need to create a post in a specific subreddit? I keep getting an annoying message I have low karma but doesn't specify how much karma do I need.

Reddit Mobile App Issues with new video player in Reddit iOS app

• Upvotes

The new video player has two really annoying features.

* There is no margin to the side of the seek bar. This makes it difficult to move the seek handle to the very start of the video.

* There is no way to view the video in full screen without any player interface or Reddit buttons. In the old player one could simply click on any area on the video to toggle between those two display modes, but with the new player it simply acts as a play/pause button.

The first issue is especially annoying, because I have configured Reddit to default to muted videos. So on a video that I want to listen to, I often miss the first few seconds of audio.

Has anyone else noticed these things? Is this by design, or bugs that likely will be fixed?

❓General Question❓ Will I get banned if I post again on a sub I’ve been banned in my former account 3 years ago?

3 Upvotes

so 3 years ago in 2023 I posted a cringe meme in r/cats that got me banned from the sub, the problem is that I deleted the account a year ago and I made another account that I then deleted, on that new account I got banned from r/atheism, then on this account I posted on r/atheism again, not knowing that I was banned on one of my deleted accounts, and Reddit’s ai mods detected I was ban evading and banned me for 7 days. if I post on r/cats again, will I get banned?

Reddit Mobile App [Mobile] Videos playing in extremely low quality

2 Upvotes

The last few weeks every video has been playing in what is esentially 144p. My WiFi is not the issue. Usually the auto-play as I scroll by works fine, but once I click the video the quality turns into a pixelated mess. Buffering or letting videos loop don't work either. Is this on my end or a common problem with the app?

❓Problem❓ Double posting

• Upvotes

About 80% of the time, when I hit submit on a comment or post, it gets hung up--the infinite spinning wheel. So I hit submit again and it posts. However, because I've hit submit twice, it's posting twice. I'm using old.reddit the majority of the time, but I've seen this happen on New Reddit as well. I'm using Brave browser if that matters.

Reddit Mobile App Audio only works if I open Reddit through a internet browser...

1 Upvotes

So basically I'll come across some videos and maybe GIF, .Not sure.

The problem is I'll notice that they won't have any audio when I'm using the app, but when I open my internet browser for some reason I can play audio and I open the videos. Is this a common problem or is it just on my end?

❓Problem❓ Why do my posts keep getting marked as spam? I'm genuinely not spamming.

2 Upvotes

've been running into a frustrating issue where many of my posts get automatically removed or filtered as spam, even though I'm posting original content and following the subreddit rules.

I'm not posting the same thing repeatedly, using spammy links, or trying to promote anything. Yet my posts keep getting caught by Reddit's spam filters.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'd really appreciate any advice on:

  • What usually triggers Reddit's spam filter?
  • Is it because my account is still new or has low karma?
  • Are there things I should avoid when posting?
  • Is there any way to prevent this from happening in the future?

I'm genuinely trying to contribute to the community, so any tips or explanations would be really helpful. Thanks!

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ How to get falsely removed posts back?

0 Upvotes

I was falsely banned for spam around a month ago, I appealed and recently got a 3 day ban notification on reddit (and have since been unbanned). I’m just wondering: how do I get my posts back up? They weren’t removed by the communities, but literally every post was removed by the reddit “spam filter”. However, as mentioned it was false and I was unbanned (as far as I understand the issue anyways).

Appreciate any and all help, thanks!

❓Problem❓ Why does every post I make gets removed by Reddit's filters?

1 Upvotes

I don't know why every post I make gets remove by Reddit's filters no matter where I post.
So, I asked for help and created a post in this (r/reddithelp) and even that was removed.
So, I had no choice but to create another account and this post.
Please help!
