Due to the type of content that is submitted. There is a high amount of removals. Removals are due to the following in the order of most likely. 1. Websites banned by Reddit. We are not provided reasons why. 2. Reddit has flagged you or your content as spam. We cannot assist with this. Submit more genuine content elsewhere. 3. The content submitted is against the rules or wrong. The rules will not be changed or exceptions made. Again, do not message the moderators about removals or asking why.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
