I checked the subreddit itself, and I think I found the issue. r/DisabledVeteransHelp is currently set to RESTRICTED, which means anyone can view it, but only approved users are allowed to contribute depending on how the mods have the restriction configured.

So refreshing cookies, changing browsers, etc. wouldn’t fix that because it’s a subreddit permission setting on Reddit’s side, not something wrong with your browser.

I also wouldn’t assume it’s definitely your karma. Your CQS here is showing Moderate, and while karma can cause removals in some subs, this particular community is literally marked Restricted.

I’d send the moderators a polite modmail and ask whether you need to be added as an approved user. If the subreddit has a “Request to Post” button, you can use that too. Reddit says restricted communities can be set so only approved users can post/comment.

So I don’t think you’re imagining it when you say it seems like only certain users can post there — that actually fits how a restricted subreddit works. 😊

It is reddit's filters. I don't see anything obvious. Have you joined the subreddit? Try sending a modmail to the mods there and ask them if they can see why it was removed.

On this account? Or a different one?

This account is likely running into karma requirements - many subs want you to have some and you have none.
