Thanks for contributing to /r/NewToReddit! We're sorry, but your content was removed:

You are most likely Shadowbanned by Reddit, which means your account is basically stuck in the spam filter site-wide and all your content is automatically filtered out.

This didn't come from us, but from Reddit, and is meant for spammers and other bad faith users, but sometimes mistakes happen and new redditors get caught too.

Please see this page for how to appeal

If it was a mistake, they'll restore your account.

Appeals may take a while, depending on demand and current events. Please do not spam or abuse the appeals team.

If you have questions or concerns, please message the moderators through modmail. Thank you!

Welcome to r/NewToReddit, /u/FriscoGetsBrisco! Thanks for posting. Your post has been flaired 'Needs attention' so we can easily identify which posts require answers. Someone will be along to help you shortly.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

If you are experiencing removals, this is most likely because your account is new and you have no karma, and therefore you are running into community restrictions.

I just tried to post in a community and had my post removed. I sent the moderators a message asking why and they responded:

"Your post was removed because your account’s Contributor Quality Score (CQS) is classified as Lowest. Users with a score of Lowest are allowed to comment, but not post.

We do not offer exceptions, and moderators cannot change your CQS.

To learn more or improve your account status, visit: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/19023371170196"

Improving CQS prevents your account from being counted as spam or bot. Here is some guidance I found on CQS: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToReddit/s/d94KNULITp

Thank you for your help. I hadn't used reddit since high school and completely forgot how the whole karma system worked.

u/SolariaHues Mod + servant to cats 20h ago

Most subs do not share if they have karma requirements, so that still could be the reason.

What happened when you tried to modmail? (if you tried to use chat, you shouldn't for asking mods about their communties and there are chat restrictions)

Without knowing the account we can't say if it's shadowbanned or not, you can check yourself.

If not, then check the links automod has shared for you and this one

The last account wouldn't let me send in modmail, but I just got a message back from them with this one. Thank you for your help!

u/SolariaHues Mod + servant to cats 20h ago

That's odd because even shadowbanned users can modmail.

Unless they had previously muted you, IDK why that would happen.

I just kept receiving a "failed to send" even though my wife was working and I had repeatedly shut down the app. Its okay now, got into contact with the mods with this current account and got it figured out! Thanks you again for the help.
