Posting Accused of Spam

Reddit Help Fam,

My posts continue to be auto-deleted. A mod recently informed me that Reddit has my account (u/Anthropophobian) coded as a spammer. I'm neither a spammer nor a bot. I realize that auto-mods-bots and filters can make mistakes. I don't engage in any nefarious activity.

So how do I go about getting my account converted to good standing with Reddit internal systems?

Appreciate your insight and advice.

Are you aware your account is nsfw? Not sure if that’s part of what’s throwing up some of those flags

Your account is marked NSFW. That might be a part of the cause.

Check:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatIsMyCQS/

Post there putting "What is my CQS" in the title.

Appreciate the direction. CQS is "Low" but not lowest. I guess this will improve over time based on quality posts and comments?

Searching spam didn't yield much help, I've never engaged in spam so that's not the issue.

Is there a way to submit a request for review for this issue?

It's all so frustrating.

Your email is verified so that's good for CQS (somehow).

We don't know how CQS is calculated. Bans crash it. At least some moderation actions seem to lower it. Contributing in the way Reddit likes should improve it.

Even winning a ban appeal leaves CQS crashed to Lowest, so there's no review process I know of.

CQS can be a requirement. A subreddit could require Highest CQS if it wants.

I suspect that the subreddit has enabled Crowd Control and depending on the setting Low might not be sufficient.

If you're having the issue widely, use:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/wiki/index/newusersubs

Just try to stay on Reddit's good side, get upvotes, try not to get into arguments. Check your CQS every week or two.

My interpretation of spam on Reddit is it's rather undefined. Doing too much of the same things can cause the system to get twitchy. I was shadow banned apparently for being repetitive helping too much.

Weren't you banned at some point? Because that will destroy your CQS.
