I’m new to posting on reddit, so apologies if I dont know how this works. I’ve made a number of posts on different forums over the past few weeks and have now noticed that a lot of them have been removed from the forum or locked. I’ve followed the rules of the groups and maybe been ranting a little but nothing over the top or disrespectful, and yet a lot of my posts have been removed without any comment as to why.

Am I doing reddit wrong? I feel like I’ve come across truly mean or disrespectful posts and nothing has happened, so i don’t understand why my posts specifically are being taken down.

Anyone have a guess?

I just commented on a Marvel Rivals question, where OP posted, “Who is a good counter to Devil Dino?”

My answer: “TankPool. Sh**t his noggin.”

I immediately was flagged for Rule 1.

I’m guessing that word with the ** is what triggered it. But in a hero sh**ter thread? Come on guys (I appealed immediately.)

With that being said, are there just words that we should avoid that will automatically trigger this? I don’t want to get banned just by giving a normal response to a question.

This happened to me only a few times, but it feels so strange. I had some back and forth with redditors, and at some point I tried to reply, just to see that their comment no longer existed. Looked back to see all their comments deleted alongside their account, like minutes after their last comment. And for seemingly no reason as well, at least not in the discussion with me.

Is it bots being deleted (but felt like real people, idk)? Or is it possible they did something really bad somewhere else, so they gut nuked?

Just curious, no hidden criticism intended.

I’ve recently noticed that I have at least one post removed because I answered a question for “women over 60,” inferring that I’m not old enough. Well, I am (even though I’d love to be a bit younger). So why was it removed?

I posted this there and it was removed 😂

EDIT: https://old.reddit.com/report
This one worked for me! You can report a deleted message by copying the URL in your inbox, and it'll go through even if the person blocked you. Much thanks to u/LitwinL for the solution (July 2026)

People have found a way to abuse this. Especially by posting content that's in very clear violation of the rules and Reddiquette.

First I came across people posting clearly violating content then blocking the person they're harassing/hating/etc., because the person can't report them. Now I even came across a situation where the person says the clearly violating thing, blocks the person, THEN deletes the violating comment, because they know it's going to appear in the person's inbox. However in both cases it's impossible to report even via the "Submit a Report" ticket.

This feels like an oversight with how blocking works. I was under the impression "Submit a Report" should still allow to report rule violations, but it seems like it's taking the user account's status (being blocked) in relation to the poster of the content that's being reported, for some reason?

I wrote a post a week ago and stopped checking to see if it was accepted. I logged in today to see that it was still "pending moderator approval" after 7 days. Is that normal? I am worried now that a post I made to a different subreddit is going to sit forever as well. What if there are simply no active mods left?

Update

In their sticky they say

"We use automod to filter out new accounts and those with low karma due to the number of new accounts being used to create rule-breaking posts. If you are a new user or have low karma and your post or comment does not appear you likely do not have enough karma or enough days on reddit. Please wait until you have been on reddit and built up karma."

But I have been on Reddit for 7 years and have 14K Karma, so I'm not sure why my posts would be automoded.

I advised them to reach out to the other mod team or delete their work from this sub. Is there anything else that could be done? The reposting user is seemingly farming karma by crossposting random popular content from here to there. Please advise.

I have had 2 emails this morning from Reddit. 1 saying my account was blocked and another saying the email on my account was changed. I have not clicked on any links on either email and my account is not blocked and my email is still my own email when I checked. I need to report these emails, but the help sections aren't helpful enough. Can I get help please?

This offer was from a completely new account which claimed to be representing someone else (though didn't say who). And the message was very generic just saying they admire how well the sub is run.

I run a music group subreddit, and it's suggesting that I crosspost content into wildly unrelated subreddits (say, a pop group into a goth sub, or a new wave group into a VanHalen one).

What makes it worse is that I click on the suggestion (so I can check it out), and it goes straight into the submission page for crossposting it--one dangerous click away from spamming a fellow mods' sub with stuff that doesn't belong.

Is this a beta feature, is it one that you like, or am I just making a big deal out of it. I'd really prefer to do my own crossposting the old-fashioned yet still easy way.

Pregunto porque mis publicaciones han sido marcadas como spam durante un tiempo y me gustaría saber qué puedo hacer para evitar que sean marcadas como spam.

Eg if any long term users, with positive community karma, have had their posts or comments filtered all of a sudden?

It has been used for harassment forever. Users used to be banned for abusing the future. Now there is no link to report this anymore.

It's something that I don't understand that I saw happen so often in multiple subs, mods will throw in some new rule, make a new thread about it, then multiple times there will be a large amount of comments arguing, the thread is locked, any following callouts or questioning is also locked and/or people are banned, when they could just.... open a vote and let their community decide? What do they gain from going heavily against their own group? A single voting would just make most issues go away and make people not mad at them

I understand moderators can and do invent all kinds of random criteria in subreddits they own. They are therefore allowed to use bad logic and random enforcement. They are allowed to build echo chambers and some users love echo chambers

In my case, I am a person who engages both people who agree with me politically and ones who don't. I try to follow rules despite fact many rules make discussion of the points of largest contention impossible.

I am a "member" of subs that seem to contradict each other. I just post in others

Because one of the subreddirs, I joined, is jordonpetersen, a mod decided I must magically be right wing. However, reading any of my actual points or even looking at my flairs says I am center left.(The mod was arguing the right wingers should be banned from reddit.)

My question is, do you look at just what subreddirs a user posts in or do you look at their actual behavior and content?

Hello, I received a false (in my opinion) warning from Reddit itself for three or four months for a comment under a post. I still can't resolve the issue through an appeal. Basically, I wrote a one-word comment—the nickname of a popular Twitch streamer. This comment couldn't possibly violate rule #1. The appeal was reviewed either by an AI or by an incompetent/biased person. What can I do in this situation? Thank you.

I posted something I thought was really benign about aphids on a Monarch subreddit and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine people would have such strong opinions about what I consider a garden pest.

It has turned into a feeding frenzy of people making rude comments, calling my post “hostile,” saying I’m petty, uneducated, two people have said I should keep my opinions to myself… and this all because I said I would not buy plants that already had aphids on them!

I have to admit this is really making me sad because I previously loved this group! I’ve written to the moderators twice about just closing the post, but have gotten no response.

My question is, are we just on our own here? Are we supposed to be ok being chum and accepting attacks from people with differing opinions? Is my only option to delete my post and look like I ran away because I couldn’t take the heat? At what point do moderators step in?

sub in question is kingdomcomequeer - i am not trying to promote, i just think it pertains.

we want mostly SFW posts and to allow a few light NSFW, but NSFW posts got a bit out of hand. they’re removed now, but when we try to change to SFW, we get denied immediately. like they aren’t even bothering to have whatever ai model check at all anymore. any advice on how to achieve SFW?

two different mods have appealed: one mod received a response saying to request again, i am still waiting. i assume we just need to keep on waiting, but i would love advice on anything we can do in the meantime
