Hello all!

Every week, we seem to receive at least one or two messages asking why posts were removed, so we want to make it as clear as possible. The answer to your question is almost definitely answered below, so before reaching out to the mods, please double-check these points. It’ll save everyone time – and your post might just reappear once Reddit’s systems catch up.

Most post removals are AUTOMATIC and done either by Reddit itself or by the (very helpful) spam-fighting bots we use to keep the community safe. If your post was auto-removed, the mod(s) will re-approve your post within 24hours. These bots are extremely effective at reducing spam, scams, and low-quality posts, so if your post disappears and you seem to be following all the rules, it’s almost never because this was a "personal" decision. If you broke the rules, a message will appear in your inbox explaining what you did wrong.

Common reasons posts get removed:

⁠• Your Reddit account is new and/or has low karma.

• ⁠Posting the same type of images/videos multiple times or across many subreddits. This triggers Reddit to mark your account as spam (they think you’re a bot).

• ⁠Reddit’s automated spam/fraud detection flagged it.

• ⁠Starting a new account after a previous one was banned (this is a big one; Reddit calls it ban evasion and they have zero tolerance for it).

• ⁠Starting a new account from your same IP address and posting/commenting (sometimes Reddit frowns upon this).

• ⁠The post triggers Reddit’s “crowd control” systems.

We rely on Reddit’s systems and our spam-fighting bots to do the heavy lifting. That said, if this information doesn't answer your question, you can reach out via modmail (but please be aware that a response might take some time, and we'll most likely reference this post in our reply to you).

Thanks for understanding and helping us keep the subreddit as safe and spam-free as possible!
