Hello,

I am looking for some help understanding an issue with my Reddit account.

I recently tried to create a post in a subreddit because I had a genuine question. I had not been active on Reddit for a long time (no recent posts or comments), and I mainly logged in because I wanted to ask this specific question.

The post was automatically removed with the message:

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

I contacted the subreddit moderators, and they informed me that the removal was caused by Reddit itself rather than by the subreddit moderation team. Apparently, my account or post was flagged by Reddit’s automated systems as a potential spam or rule-breaking risk.

I understand that my account has relatively low karma and that Reddit’s systems need to protect communities from spam. However, I assumed that in such cases the subreddit moderators would still have the ability to review the post manually and approve it if they determine that it is legitimate and does not violate any rules.

What confuses me is that:

• I have not received any warning or notification about breaking Reddit rules.
• My account does not appear to be suspended or restricted.
• I cannot submit an appeal because Reddit says my account is not suspended.
• The moderators cannot approve the post because the restriction appears to come from Reddit itself.

Could someone please clarify:

• Is there a way to request a review of an account that is being blocked by Reddit’s automated filters but is not officially suspended?
• Is there a specific process for appealing this type of automated restriction?
• Is this a temporary trust/safety measure, and if so, how can it be resolved?

I also tried to ask for help on r/help regarding the appeal/suspension process, but I was not able to post there either. Since I cannot submit an appeal and I cannot get clarification through the usual channels, I am running out of options for understanding what happened and how to resolve it.

Thank you for any guidance.
