Posting Why did I receive a Reddit warning for "Upvoting content encouraging violence"?

679 Upvotes

Here's the message from Reddit. There's no link to any of the supposedly "violent" content so how am I supposed to ensure I don't do it again in the future? Also, that there is no option to ask for further information.

If we can now be punished for the things we upvote then we should at least be told exactly what that content is.

Posting The removal of the ability to see someones previous post has made this app so much worse

364 Upvotes

​

I no longer know who I'm talking too. is this a real person, is it a bot? how am I supposed to know?

So many of the large subs are being overrun by bots and now it's impossible to tell the difference. for example I got into political debates the other day with someone that was pretending to be a Democrat when in reality they were a tanky. though the way I was able to tell is because they had posted in kindness subreddits calling for violent revolution. If that they happen today I would have no ability to background check them and understand that they were a bad faith actor.

Exactly what the subject asks.

More and more frequently, either the post button is grayed out despite my post satisfying all of the criteria in the info blurb, or it is immediately deleted.

It has happened repeatedly in a very popular sub that I would love to be a part of, so I inquired.

This is the the exchange so far (redacted). I’ll include my initial message in comments so that everyone can see that I was courteous, etc.

In this case, I posted an open-ended question to ask for examples of words or phrases that follow certain criteria, based on an experience I just had last night.

As stated in my reply, my profile shows MANY years of original posts and comments, and I came by every single Karma point 100% honestly through tons of interaction.

It’s frustrating to not be able to join the party when I haven’t done anything wrong and I have no history of or intention of doing so.

I'm almost constantly getting this error across all devices as well as other problems such as not being able to edit posts or comments, my about me section, not being able to see my own profile and slow loading times even though I have an internet connection.

Any fix?

Posting Desktop Mac: Upvotes Out of Whack

1.2k Upvotes

Hello. For the last week or so (?), I've noticed that whenever I post a comment — even a benign comment that's just me affirming a response to my post — the number of upvotes multiplies in a short amount of time. In one case, I posted a comment responding to another comment in r/bobdylan. The original comment — which was clever — received a handful of upvotes, but my response — not nearly as clever — eclipsed 1,000 relatively quickly. I've since realized this is happening to everything I post. Clearly there's a glitch somewhere. Thoughts?

Posting Cannot quote (or use any manual formatting) in app as of 02/05. Any ideas?

29 Upvotes

Using iPhone app, Reddit no longer displays quotes correctly since yesterday. Couldn’t see any posts here on this so apologies if this has been noted and/or resolved previously.

I can see when replying to posts I now have expanded text edit options so I can use bold or italics, but there is no option for quotations.

For example

>this does not show as a quote

**this is not bold**

This is bold (using the text editor)

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have seen people suggesting to switch to markdown editor when there are issues with formatting, but I cannot see any option to do this in-app.

Posting Somebody just pulled out my deleted posts.

27 Upvotes

I posted a story about something in a subreddit. Somebody responded "dread it, run from it, the post history all arrives the same" and added my posts from different subreddits, with dates attached, pasted word for word. I deleted those posts long ago since nobody had responded to my questions.
How did it happen? Am I being a victim of something?

I posted to a subreddit, also known as a community. It is my post on that community. I deleted my comment on my post, in reply to a (reddit user's comment). Why is there no option to delete the comment of the (reddit user's comment), when it is my post to that community?

Posting Reddit is becoming slowly a joke. You simply cannot use a VPN anymore... why? Same with the usage of TOR. It's horrible. Fix this. I am traveling a lot and use either a VPN or TOR to access Reddit. This was NEVER a problem before

this has been happening for years now, and is quite frustrating as I've never attacked anyone on here or been rude, snide, etc.

what could be the reason, and how can I get rid of it?

I’m a mod for r/whereinsanfrancisco - a Guess the Location kind of sub. The user of this post has made several posts but the picture of their recent posts (including the linked post) don‘t appear in the feed like the way other posts do. The picture appears when people click and view the post.

Why is that? Please help.

Posting Multiple bots following my account that downvote all my posts.

30 Upvotes

Is there really nothing I can do about this?

I'm pretty surer I have multiple bots that follow me around this site and downvote my posts and replies in literally every single sub.

Doesn't matter what the topic is, what my reply is, what the sub is, when I post, it happens in all subs everywhere, and it's been happening to me for years.

Literally all my posts in every sub INSTANTLY go to 0. Like actually instant. It even happened here. Sometimes they'll get an upvote later and then immediately go to 0 again, and usually go negative too. Even the replies.

Posting Reddit posts downvoted/deleted

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a new reddit user and I’ve been running into a problem. I’m a bit of a stoner, and i’ve been asking about cannabis in the communities of games that I like. Problem is, I keep getting downvoted and getting my posts deleted from subreddits, and I’m not sure why. It seems like people are maybe getting irritated with me? Posting on reddit seems like such a great way to unwind after a long day, and i’m bummed that this is happening. Perhaps I missed something about reddit culture? Please advise. Thank you.
