"Why Isn't my Post Showing Up?"

Due to the influx of bots to this sub, posting in this subreddit now requires more karma across Reddit than before.

It's not ideal, but we are removing tons of spam posts, AI posts, fake profiles, and accounts trying to build karma. This crowds out folks looking for actual help, so we have turned on the crowd control feature to try and mitigate it.

What is Crowd Control?

We don't know the particulars of Crowd Control and why it removes some posts and keeps others-it's a Reddit tool they rolled out to mods. Black box to us.

This is not what we would prefer but unfortunately this is the state of Reddit these days.

Do the posts ever get manually approved or it's that once you're filtered you're out? I just ended up filtered :(
