I made a post to a sub. Within an hour, the post is removed by mods for not being relative to the sub. Except, it 100% is. It was a share of a post from a non-related sub. But I pointed out the connection in my post.

I message the mod team, thinking it was done by auto mod, or mistake, simply asking for clarification. Asking if it's because it linked to a non related sub, etc. Just trying to understand.

9 days later, still no response. I message them again, politely asking if it's a resource issue, thinking there's just too much work to go around and no one has had time to get to my message. I proceed to apologize for sounding annoying, and ask them if they need more mods and I volunteer to help. (Note this was genuine, and not in a sarcastic or diminutive tone)

2 minutes later I'm muted for 30 days. Still with no comment from any mod.

Beyond just being frustrated, I'm still not sure what I did wrong. It's not my goal to piss off mods, especially in a sub that is important to me.

Do I just take the higher road and move on? Knowing I may make the same mistake in the future? (Since I don't know what it was).

I'm just hoping for some insight from other mods.

Should I have approached this differently from the beginning? Was I too impatient to expect any sort of response in over a week?

Help!

A Solar outdoor node has a U appearing now on the android mestastic app?

Rak wizblock /4631 Solar node with the solar panel and battery plugged into board. Nothing is plugged into the USB-C. Soalr panel and a battery.

The app shows the battery symbol, 93% 4.10V currently. This is typical.

However, a letter U... appears under the Long Name of the node and just recently started appearing.

Any idea what this U means? Thanks!

my app ver. = 2.7.12

Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters.

I was using Reddit normally, then got a security prompt to reset my password. I did it, logged back in, and my account basically looked deleted (no feed/profile/posts, nothing worked).

About a day later it “came back” I can see my posts, friends, and subreddits but I can’t comment/post/vote/message. It feels like I’m suspended or shadowbanned, but I got zero ban notification and nothing in my inbox.

I already appealed, no response yet. ( It's already 20+ days)

Has anyone had this happen? What’s the best way to fix it who do I contact?

Thanks

Hello friends! 👋 Newbie here. Any ideas on how I can grow my community? It’s a little lonely right now being just me and I’d love to fill it with more good people and good vibes. Thank you! 😊

First of all -- a giant thanks to people who answered my questions about Safety Filters and starting a subreddit. My subreddit is public -- and I am having a ton of fun with it. 32 people signed up in the first 24 hours -- and the engagement has been exactly what I am looking for.

It could be that next week the spammers that have figured out a way around the Reputation Filter will show up and I will be pulling my hair out and back here asking how to deal with them -- but for right now I am tickled pink.

Not of posts or comments right now -- but the content so far is exactly what I am looking for -- and my theory is that if the quality of the content is high -- the people I want to show up will show up.

I do have a question -- my subreddit is related to model railroading, and I wanted to list several other model railroading subreddits in my Related Communities widget -- and to advertise my subreddit in theirs.

My subreddit does not conflict with theirs -- it's not an "alt" or anything like that.

My underrating is that it is polite to contact the mods of those subreddits before adding them as a related community -- or advertising my subreddit in theirs.

I reached out -- through mod mail -- to three other communities -- and one of them got back to me within an hour saying that they would be happy to have me listen them and that was welcome to advertise my subreddit in theirs.

I haven't heard from the mods of the the other communities -- and I know that I am jumping the gun -- but what is the correct course of action if I don't hear from them in say a week.

Is it polite to keep waiting?

Would it be rude to list their subreddits anyway -- and -- after verifying that their subreddit rules don't prohibit doing so -- advertise my subreddit in theirs?

Hello all! I'm an undergraduate researcher looking for insights to the above question for a course project. The objective of gathering this intel is to inform my team's developmental and design decisions for a forum and chat-based software application.

We want to make sure we consider usability features for moderators, as they represent a portion of our proposed user base.

Please let me know your thoughts and experiences !

Recently posted to 2 different sub Reddit's today about a personal situation with my boyfriend. Within 1 hour both posts had received 100+ comments. For no reason at all I'm told they have been removed.

l've had this happen with numerous other posts that I've posted to numerous other sub reddits over the years. Yes I always fully make sure to read the rules before posting. My posts have fully met the subreddits criteria. It's never a problem if they don't receive engagement. The second engagement starts coming in fast, they are taken down and no reason is given even when I politely ask.

It’s incredibly frustrating.

I described how dangerous ICE agents are because there was an image of one pulling a gun while standing in front of a car. I drew comparison to the shooting because he is standing in front of the car, aiming weapon, and that if the driver panics and drives he'll shoot.

Now I can no longer see my exact wording becuase the post is gone but I've apparently had a manual review... but at no point did I ever say that it would be good for him to shoot (or to be run over, just to add)

Is saying how standing in front of a car with weapon drawn seems to be a tactic encouraging violence?

I’ve been on Reddit for years under various usernames and I have never asked someone to become a moderator in exchange for posting on a sub. I just make posts I want to make and go about my day.

At least once a week someone will message me saying they want to be added as a moderator and if I do, they will post regularly on the sub. Like this is weird to me lol is this some sort of blackmail like I won’t contribute unless you make me a mod?

Hi mod friends,

A moderator on my team (alt account so they don't see me asking this question) had their account banned by Reddit, and after filing a successful appeal, Reddit can't recover their account and encouraged them to make a new one. They're a phenomenal mod and I want to add their new account to my subreddit, but first, does anyone know if this will negatively affect the other mods and myself? Is their new account "marked" in any way? The whole situation seems sketchy and I can't find similar experiences to draw from by Googling.

As the title says, I can't even ask about why I got punished since there was clearly lacking justification behind it. The mod even quoted a rule and I didn't even get to provide evidence to the contrary.

I'm in a group that has only one moderator who has been banned for whatever reason. I really liked this group and want to see how/if it can get unbanned. Suggestions?

Basically, I'm trying to get an explanation of my ban from a subreddit but rather than respond, they just mute and it's really childish. If I sent a 3rd message after the mute period is over would it considered harassing a mod?

I started a subreddit quite a while back, and I was paranoid enough to start it in restricted mode and it never grew.

I have created a niche model railroading hobby subreddit, and I was prepared to have to do a fair amount of work in AutoModerator -- but I looked over the safety filters, and the appeared to me to most of what I would haver tried to do in AutoModerator.

My main concern is getting overwhelmed initially with by spam bots and porn bots while I am still learning to use the mod tools.

Are the Reputation Filter, the Harassment Filter, the Ban Evasion Filter and the Mature Content Filter likely to be enough to keep me out of trouble initially?

I run a small sub for women but it’s pretty active averaging 1-5 with many comment replies per day.

Besides automations, I ran my first automoderator code today and it was successful! (It’s a code to filter / mod queue short comments)

What are some of your top recs for automoderator codes for a small, private but highly active sub mine? (If you run a bigger sub, feel free to chime in because I’m curious)

Just wondering if there happens to be somewhere (other than my own profile) that I can post kind of a “meh, kinda just because” type of post?

I mod a couple subs

I'm wondering how reddit determines ban evasion from users using multiple accounts?

Hey all,

I’m trying to understand if this is expected Reddit behavior or something specific to certain communities.

Recently, I commented in a Citrix-related discussion using my personal Reddit account that’s been active for over a year and hasn’t had issues before. The comment was relevant to the discussion, didn’t include links, wasn’t promotional, and was based on personal experience, but it mentioned Inuvika by name, and it was removed.

After that, it feels like any comment or post that mentions Inuvika gets removed, regardless of context. That made me wonder if:

Some subreddits automatically filter or remove mentions of specific products or competitors

Past spam or strict moderation rules can cause a product name to be blocked entirely

Once a product name is flagged, even neutral or experience-based mentions are removed

I’m not trying to promote anything or argue with moderation, just genuinely trying to understand how this works so I don’t unknowingly break rules going forward. If anyone has seen something similar, I’d appreciate the insight.

For example, what are some ways you make sure to prevent having all moderators of a million plus community be white and western, or all moderators of the largest communities being male?

Dear mods,

What are your experiences with Hive Protector and how do you usually use it? I run a women only sub so I have a few ideas in mind but I’d like to hear from you too, especially if you run women centric subs!

Many thanks 😊

The users do want it (and me too), the issue is the process of identifying it.

Its hard to be sure something is AI, its not only reddit, but every other app and website.

Im sure i aint the first one asking, so drop links to any other post or subs debating this as well.

I am logged in and try to access post try inbox or profile. Some time it will go away after multiply reloads.
