Why Was My Post Removed? Common Subreddit Rules

If your post was removed from a subreddit, it is usually because of one of these common reasons.

Karma or Account Age Requirements: Many subreddits require a minimum amount of karma or account age before you can post. This is to prevent spam. Solution: Build up your Reddit karma by engaging genuinely in communities. ReddifyAI shows an Account Health warning if your account is too new or has low karma.

Self-Promotion Rules: Most subreddits follow Reddit's 10% rule: no more than 10% of your activity should be self-promotional. If all your posts are about your product, they may get flagged. Solution: Mix in genuine engagement, helpful comments, and non-promotional posts.

Missing or Wrong Flair: Some subreddits require a specific flair on every post. If you did not select one, or selected the wrong one, your post may be removed. Solution: Always check the community info and select an appropriate flair.

Banned Content or Keywords: Some subreddits have automod filters that remove posts containing certain words, links, or phrases. Solution: Check the subreddit rules and recent posts to see what kind of content is accepted.

Duplicate or Cross-Posted Content: Posting the same content across many subreddits quickly can trigger spam filters. Solution: Vary your content and spread posts out over time.

Moderator Removal: Sometimes a moderator manually removes a post that they feel does not fit the community. This is at their discretion. Solution: Read the rules carefully, look at what kind of posts do well in that subreddit, and adjust your approach.

How to Check: When you use the "Check Community" feature in ReddifyAI, you will see the subreddit rules, restrictions, and Pro Tips that help you understand what is and is not allowed.
