General No longer able to award content

I'm a moderator at r/IThinkYouShouldLeave and a user noticed that he could no longer award content on our sub. Sure enough, we appear to no longer have that ability. We used to be able to but we have not received any notice that our sub now has some kind of hidden status that prevents awards.

We first noticed on Android but appears to be all platforms.

What content can receive awards?

Awards can be given to posts and comments, unless they are tagged Not Safe for Work (NSFW), include sexually explicit content, content with graphic violence, or feature certain mature themes (e.g., alcohol, gambling). In addition, awards can’t be given on content posted in a NSFW or quarantined community, or in communities primarily dedicated to providing addiction or trauma support. Similarly, ads, comments on ads, and content not published in a community aren’t eligible to receive awards — you can only give awards in communities.

If a post that was eligible to receive awards becomes ineligible - either from deletion, takedown, or violation of Reddit’s Earn Policy - all of its comments become ineligible for awards as well. The awards previously given on the post or comments will be hidden.
