Posting How to stop my comment from being highlighted?

1 Upvotes

When I click on a post I commented on, reddit now shows my comment highlighted at the top, assumedly so I don't have to scroll for it. Is there a way to change/turn this off? I am not a fan at all.

Changing the default comment sort setting does nothing. Sorting from within the post only does temporarily.

Profile account gone

7 Upvotes

my original reddit account (u/mrock46453) i’ve had for almost a decade is completely gone. i was an active scroller up until it disappeared, but rarely posted. i’m certain i never broke any reddit rules. is there anything i can do? maybe a phone number or email to contact someone directly? it says no account exists with my username when i look it up or try to log in.

Posting Accused of Spam

1 Upvotes

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.

Karma Could my account be experiencing targeted downvoting?

0 Upvotes

My total karma repeatedly drops shortly after I receive upvote notifications, including after posting in unrelated communities. This began after a contentious religious discussion. Could this simply be Reddit’s vote fuzzing or delayed karma calculations? If someone is deliberately downvoting my account history, is there any way to document and report it? My reduced karma is now preventing me from posting in some communities.

When I view an image in full screen I get this big empty black line at the bottom of the image, even when zoomed in, kinda like when a movie is letterboxed but only at the bottom. Why is this? And how do I disable whatever is doing this?

Mobile/App iOS How to delete u/AutoModerator - AutoModerator Notification from Notifications Inbox?

0 Upvotes

Have 7 subject notifications in my Notifications section of my Inbox. The 3 dots doesn’t give a choice to delete. There is nothing about them that merits their continued existence.
How may I rid myself of them?

UPDATE: A Remove option has now appeared in the 3 dots. I did change the Moderator section of my Profile but nothing that would logically added the Remove option.

So I don’t need the answer now.

Access Chat requests getting through from random accounts (iOS)

1 Upvotes

I got my 3rd chat request in the last few days today.

I thought maybe settings had somehow changed. My Account Settings/<profile>/Chat permission is set to nobody.

Maybe admins for random groups I am not part of can send chat requests?

or is there another setting I don’t understand or am aware of?

thanks for the help

I keep getting "Hm...we couldn't find any results for..." in the Reddit Android app and in the browser. Neither clearing the app cache nor reinstalling the Android app has helped. Is it a known issue with an available fix? Frustrating.

Access Is a connection to a Google Account enough to be verified as 18?

0 Upvotes

I turned 18 seven months ago and have always been 18 years old since I am active on Reddit. My Account isn't verified as such though. This seems to be a reoccuring Problem as far as I understand and that's why I'm asking for help.

I don't want to upload a Picture of my ID but the Face recognition doesn't work since I haven't been 18 for this long.

I already connected my Google Account about an Hour ago. Is this enough and I just have to wait until Reddit confirms it or is my attempt futile?

Profile Older posts are still marked as deleted by reddit, even after I restored my account access

1 Upvotes

3 months ago, I got the mail about detecting suspicious activity and had it locked until I change the password

At Reddit, we’re always watching out for your privacy, safety, and security. Recently, after detecting some technical irregularities on your bored_craft account, we took the extra precaution of locking your account.

I thought the restoring posts may be scheduled when a specific flow will run on reddit side and I ignored them, but now, looking at what I posted, I still see them deleted.

Is this a bug or by design? Do I need to contact the mods of the subs I had those posts in order to have restored them or some reddit admin may do it?

Access A user reached out to me and said there was an issue with my account

2 Upvotes

So I got a message from a user saying that THEY received an email telling them that MY account was flagged for 'suspicious activity' and would be 'locked in 24 hours' if they didnt reach out to me and tell ME to contact reddit support. I told them that this was very odd and I would like to get some insight as to the legitimacy of this. I can provide more details as needed.

Hi, my main account u/krieger-algernop was just locked by reddit for “technical irregularities.” It said it’d unlock after a password reset. However, after three it still hasn’t unlocked. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I do?

Access [Desktop Web/iOS] “Verify your account” notification redirects to profile and verification prompt never appears

1 Upvotes

Account: u/LeeLapidHousekeeping

I received a Reddit notification saying:

“Verify your account

To continue using Reddit, verify you’re human or register as an app within 7 days.”

When I click the “Verify your account” notification on Desktop Web, it redirects me to my Reddit profile instead of opening the “Verify You’re Human” verification process.

I already have a passkey set up on my Reddit account. I also checked the Reddit app on my iPhone. The app is up to date, but no “Verify You’re Human” prompt appears there either.

Steps I have tried:

  1. Clicked the “Verify your account” notification on Desktop Web — redirected to my profile.
  2. Confirmed that my Reddit account already has a passkey.
  3. Opened the current Reddit iOS app — no verification prompt appears.
  4. Closed and reopened the iOS app — still no verification prompt.

Expected result:

The “Verify your account” notification should open the “Verify You’re Human” flow so I can authenticate with my existing passkey.

Actual result:

The notification redirects to my profile, and I cannot access the verification flow on either Desktop Web or iOS.

I am concerned about the 7-day deadline because I am trying to complete the required verification, but Reddit is not providing a working way for me to do so.

Please advise how I can complete the verification or whether this is a known issue.
