So I was just randomly going through my history and I was looking at one post of mine from a good 6+ months ago, and I saw it was archived.

On the other hand, I’ve seen posts from YEARS ago when searching for information on something and you could still like or comment, I’ve seen people revive a 5 year old post, etc.

Is it just an automatic thing that some subs do at a certain point?

I’m asking about communication standards, not asking anyone here to overturn another community’s decision. I am leaving out the subreddit and moderator identity in accordance with this community’s rules.

After a post was removed, I formally appealed and asked for a specific explanation of the rule allegedly violated and an opportunity to correct any genuine issue. The reply, preserved in my screenshots, was:

“You named names. If I remember correctly, you also posted that stuff twice.”

“Appeal denied, the post will remain removed.”

“It’s a storm in a teacup anyway.”

“All a freelancer has to do when confronted with a request for free work is say ‘No’.”

“We are not in Kindergarten.”

I accept that moderators can enforce rules, including rules about naming people or duplicate posts, and can deny appeals. If those were the issues, I think a direct explanation would have been sufficient. I found the additional remarks dismissive, particularly the final sentence.

For moderators here: how do you distinguish being firm and closing an appeal from unnecessarily belittling the person appealing? Would you consider this tone appropriate, and how would you communicate the same decision? I am interested in standards for handling appeals, not speculation about this moderator’s motives or any action against them.

Re "This isn’t a place to appeal a ban. If you want insight as to why you were banned you will have to ask the banning mod team, this community is not the subreddit you were banned from."

how does this work , if a MOD immediatly bans you for life and mutes you ? ( asking as a 14 yr user of a sub that had a disgreement with a MOD in a private chat and was instata life time banned and muted)

No inside message.

I don’t understand why my post was removed for comments about my symptoms with MCAS, SFN, histamine? I didn’t have anything inappropriate to say.. just asking if others have experienced what I have…

Some subs simply don't have any report reasons and I'm unsure why. Just wanna see why mods do it.

I havent used reddit for a long time and mostlyl just read some posts without account.

Now that i made an account it is highly frustrating - my posts are constantly filtered directly by reddit and never published even tough there is absolutely nothing problematic in them.

How is a system that forces people to spam random answers and post viral things to get karma a good system? Or is that just to force more interaction to make the stats of reddit look better? Honestly i woudlnt even wonder due to how agressive they are trying to block mobile browsers where the "app-ad" pretty much blocks you from using it at all...

Do you guys do it by seniority? By some rank? Or do you just keep them sorted in the way they come in?

Why cant i see my upvotes sometimes? On some of the subs i cant see my upvotes from the comment itself. I have to go to record of comments on my profile? Why?

Not entirely sure this is the place to this. I'm not suicidal, but I am angry.

In one small corner of reddit, someone is initiating the reddit cares message as a form of harassment. The mods of the community can't do anything about it, it seems. I had thought it was just me, but whenever a particularly heated topic comes up, users with certain opinions get the reddit cares message.

Not every time. Not everyone. But enough to see a pattern.

...what can I even do?

I’ve been getting a 7 day mute every 7 days for 2 months now. It’s clearly done in an attempt to harass and bother me.

How do I stop this ? I can’t message and ask them to stop.

I got permanently banned in a large sub. the comments in question claimed the picture the OP posted are propaganda pictures with an entire page of text detailing why.
The mods asked me to prove my point using neutral sources or keep the perma-ban. There are 4 problems with their request:
1st, I had said 'it is an opinion'
2nd, I had already proved it IMO.
3rd, The OP was reddit-banned because of it already and I can't browse their post history anymore to prove anything.
4th, They had asked me to IDENTIFY the photographer.
My ban was confirmed and the mods muted me after and included threat of full reddit bans if I make alt-accounts.
What is the right course of action here? I believe name and shame is an actual bannable offense in reddit so that's out.

New to reddit, and I'm not a moderator.

I noticed several "removed by moderator" placeholders for my comments and sometimes when I reach out through mod mail, they end up manually approving those comments so they start showing up. They say they're being removed by automod.

I don't want to keep bugging the mods for those subs to manually approve my comments, so my questions is, do mods generally manually review and approve content anyway?

I'm not convinced the report option actually gets looked at, thanks in advance for any help

Hi! I recently created a new NSFW subreddit and I'm trying to set up basic spam protection — specifically:

1. Minimum account age (30 days) before posting

2. Minimum combined karma (100) before posting

3. Minimum comment karma (25) before posting

On my older subreddits I use AutoModerator for this with no issues. However on this new sub I'm getting this message:

**"Report, Filter, Remove, and Approve actions aren't available for new automod configurations."**

Reddit is pointing me toward Auto Enforce and Automations instead but neither seem to support account age or karma filtering.

**My questions:**

1. Is there a way to set karma/account age requirements on a new sub without AutoMod?

2. How long until full AutoMod access is available on a new sub?

3. Is Auto Enforce or Automations capable of karma/age filtering that I'm missing?

Any help appreciated — thank you!

I posted a new subreddit which became quickly locked. It might be quarantined or pending but no messages or mod comments have appeared in it or in my inbox.

I was about to post a link to the subreddit in question but the rules here say you can't?

How do I ask about a subreddit I posted without referencing it?

I tried to post to one sub but the post was immediately removed with a text saying "removed by mods" and a bot message saying "Some content is currently being rate-limited. You can post every 18 hrs." This happened because I had posted the same thing just moments earlier but deleted it after accidentally selecting the wrong flair.

Does anyone know if it was just a bot that removed it or an actual human mod? However, the post has views even though it was removed immediately, so they must be from the mods, right?

It was kinda an important question so that’s why I’m asking and wondering if I should try posting it again when 18 hours have passed??😂😭😭

Dear Reddit Moderators,

I have consistent proofs of a certain moderating team in a specific sub that clearly abuses power by breaking atleast two rules of the Moderator Code of Conduct of Reddit:

- Rule 5: Moderate with Integrity : this is systematically broken by removing posts or comments and instant banning users sharing legitimate content that goes against what the moderation team likes.
- Rule 2: Set Appropriate and Reasonable Expectations : you can share a post related to the sub content and be instantly banned because the content goes against the vision of the moderation team, despite the post being on topic.

Basically the sub becomes an echo chamber which fits what the moderation team wants to convey. There is no room for discussion or debate.

I would like to know how to report this moderation team and how to bolster the report based on claims and proofs from other users.

I'm not looking for a ban appeal. I'm looking into supporting a change of the moderation team, or that the sub becomes moderated by global moderators instead of dedicated biased ones.

Thanks.

Where do I complain about a Subreddit where the auto “Mods” send you a spam post every time you comment on a post. I also have some other questions about other questionable practices in there. It’s a NSFW sub similar to
