This was my first post in a sewing group

Post: Gilmore Girls Rory’s dresses

Rory’s dresses (fabrics)

Hey so Ik this might be an unusual post but i seriously need all your help! So im shopping for summer clothes and i hate how everything is basically Lycra or satin or (rarely) plain cotton, like i want something different and i cant help but notice Rory’s nice fabrics but im totally clueless about fabrics

So please could you tell me what kinds of fabrics are these dresses made from? And if you can recommend nice breezy crinkle free fabrics? You’ll totally be saving me this summer where temperatures vary from 35+ to 42+

It was removed by the moderator, and this was their reason:

Them: “ As this is not sewing related it has been removed”

Me: Hi so somehow my post was refused even though it was a question about fabrics but the bot saw that it wasn’t related to the group?

Them: This is a community for people who sew, not for asking about what clothes to buy for summer”

Me: okay I got it

Then I made another post:

Gilmore girls Rory’s dresses

Rory’s dresses (fabrics)

Hey I seriously need all your help! So im just starting my journey in sewing and I’m doing that because it’s very hard to find good summer clothes that fit me. I hate how everything is basically 80-60 % Lycra or (cheap) satin or (rarely) plain cotton, like i want something different and i cant help but notice Rory’s nice fabrics but im totally clueless about fabrics

So please could you tell me what kinds of fabrics are these dresses made from? And if you can recommend nice breezy crinkle free fabrics? You’ll totally be saving me this summer where temperatures vary from 35+ to 42+

So they removed my post again:

Them: Enough. Removed again. We can see you’re looking to purchase dresses, and do not give a shit about sewing. Stop trying to get free labor out of our users.

Me: Free labor? What are you even talking about? I’m just asking about fabrics! And whether I’ll sew or go to a tailor or buy is non of your business because I’m following the group rules, in the first post yeah I said I’m buying but you told me to remove the post because it’s an only sewing group so I made another post and asked advice on FABRICS I didn’t even ask anything about patterns or stitching so what’s the problem?

Them: Your question is not as quirky or unusual as you think it is. We are inundated daily with users trying to ask our community to help them with fashion questions. We are not a fashion community, we are a sewing community. Your question is off topic and will not be allowed.

Me: Again I’m asking about fabrics, nothing more nothing less.

Them: Fabrics don’t equal sewing. Your questions are not allowed here.

“Proceeds to mute me”

Hi, I’m reaching out with a genuine question about moderation boundaries and subreddit independence.

Over the past few days, I’ve posted multiple threads in popular gaming communities for a major first-person shooter franchise. These posts reported a verifiable bug that permanently removed a paid in-game feature – with proof, screenshots, and polite wording. The posts:

• followed all community rules
• included no hate speech, spam, or misinformation
• were backed by multiple other users facing the same issue

Despite this, nearly all posts were either silently removed or left in "Needs Mod Approval" for days – with no feedback or explanation, even after I reached out directly and respectfully.

That raises a few questions:

• Are moderators allowed to systematically remove critical posts, even when they follow the rules?
• Is it acceptable to ignore user feedback or clarification requests when removals happen without stated reason?
• What safeguards exist to ensure subreddit moderation isn’t biased or externally influenced – especially in large, commercial fan communities?

To be clear, this is not an accusation. I’m just trying to understand where Reddit draws the line, and whether these kinds of moderation patterns are in line with Reddit-wide expectations.

Thanks to any mod or admin willing to share insight on this.

Got a warning need help

I want to appeal my warning but the appeal link just opens the main reddit feed. I was warned for threatening violence but I haven't done so. I warned a victim of domestic violence that she likely already has brain damage from being choked out until she seized and that he would likely kill her.

There were no threats made.

I've reported a subreddit's moderators for misusing their "power" to remove posts and ban users. The moderators in question are enforcing Reddit's and subreddit's rules BUT only to people with different (political)views than them. The people who share the same view as them are exempt from rules; these users and their posts are not removed even when they clearly break the rules.

I've confronted them(moderators) by sending a direct message to them instead of making a post on the subreddit in question. Their answer: "We've reviewed posts and found they aren't breaking any rules. We won't censor opinions just because they make you uncomfortable."

The "opinions" they are talking include(but not limited to) insults such as "motherf*****s", "pigs", "sons of bit****", "we will pi** and sh** on your graves", "stay mad you dogs", "sandwich dogs", "f*** you and whoever defends you". There are worse "opinions" than just insults, there are those that include finding & sharing someone's photo from other social media platforms such as facebook and instagram with the intent of instigating harassment to them.

So, I've sent support a ticket about the subreddit moderators breaking code of conduct. I've also included my little "chat" with the moderators in question. Now the question is, do Reddit admins actually do anything about these kinds of moderators or are they just going to allow them to enforce rules to only one side? Has anyone ever gotten a reply for these kinds of tickets? This is the first time I've sent a ticket to them, that's why I'm asking.

I just created Ideas for Saving an Imploding USA, but it doesn't show up on the search for a subreddit list. Do I need to be assigned a moderator?

I'm not a new user by any means, I'm a long time lurker but I've seen that megathreads are very varied among different subs and I was wondering why that was. I'm not a moderator but I've always wondered why megathreads aren't as widespread. Unless, I'm blind and just haven't personally seen it. I'm curious to what moderators here have to say on this topic.

Bonjour à vous tous les modérateurs et modératrices, j'aimerais savoir comment faire pour changer mon nom d'utilisateur qui est : No_Communication7703 pour : UPSKIRT-MANIAC. Merci beaucoup pour votre aide Bonne journée

I've created fairly strict title restrictions in my sub. A title must be formatted as [POST TYPE][USER LOCATION] TITLE. For example, "[SELL][US] I'M SELLING SOMETHING"

I created a regex that will not allow a post to be submitted if certain conditions aren't met. Post Type must match a handful of potential keywords. There can not be a space between the first closed bracket and the second open bracket. After the second open bracket there must be at least two letters. After that they are free to freestyle their title.

I tested out the regex on both my laptop and phone, using three different accounts, using different browsers and platforms. It all worked as it should. I've gotten mod mail from people who couldn't submit their post and all they had to do was remove a space between the brackets. Somehow a bunch of posts that go pretty far off script are getting through and I can't figure out how.

I don't know if there's any way to figure out how this is happening but I figured I'd ask. TIA.

What I asked…sry if this is a stupid request.

So in one community I am a part of on Reddit, I keep noticing my User Flair keeps getting changed to something I don't want. It's basically saying I know little to nothing on a topic and I never put it there. Each time I keep selecting no user flair or change to something else, it gets reverted back.

Is there something I can do about this? Should I report the moderators of the subreddit? I feel like I'm being targeted and bullied for no reason, and sick of moderators abusing their powers for no reason.

I am not able to see the comments in my sub currently. But I can see comments in other subs. Any reason for that? Or who should I contact for that issue? Thanks y’all!

I have noticed Redditors have been offered the Article Summary Box directly below the Link Box but It tends to be a On and Off Feature only controlled by Reddit Itself. Is This just experimental or in development and will It be permanent?

Not gaining much traction.

New changes to messages may make me unable to respond.

Issues with a few people.

Just kind of winding down in general.

I made a comment as a dad joke regarding the current tariff war something along the lines of

"sometimes in order to fight the power you must... c/t the power"

this was in context of Doug Ford threatening action and he still has electricity tariffs on the table.

The warning says it's automated, but it makes no sense how it thinks I am glorifying or inciting violence.

Anyways, the link provided to appeal just brings me to my reddit home page.

I tried the link on both mobile and PC.

Please and thank you.

Hello,
after not finding a sub to discuss a topic, I was planning to create it. However, when I type the name in "Create a community" it says it's already taken. When I look for it in the search bar of communities, nothing is found. When typing reddit.com/ + the name, it says it was banned due to being unmoderated. What should I do? I know there is a sub to request unmoderated subs, but this is a sub I have never seen active, and the name could stand for something else too, so I don't even know if I would be continuing what the sub is about.

I made an account a few years ago and don't have access to it anymore; I'm aware that admins cannot delete accounts, but I really want this comment gone. Only issue is the sub seems to be very dead and the person who created it seems to have deleted their own account. Is there a way to delete this comment either way? there's personal info on it and reporting it did not work at all

Hi. I've made several reports about a member impersonating a model that I follow who is not on reddit. The decision came back that the member did not break community guidelines even though rule 5 clearly states no impersonation. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I know that there is a setting that it’s impossible to post on subreddit without choosing a flair - but I can’t find this setting 🤷🏻‍♀️

I received a warning for violent content, but it was a misunderstanding.

Someone posted the crown of judgement meme asking Whats the verdict oh wise crow? And I answered “A murder is comming”, referring to the collective of crows, not lireral murder, help!

I recently posted something here on reddit. Long story short, a response appeared on my notifications, I read it and liked it a lot. But when I sent to see the original post and all the answers I can't see it anywhere. It was a really good answer. Why can I set?

I just got muted by the mods of multiple subreddits. Some of them I've never commented in and one or two I've recently commented in but nothing out of the ordinary for those subs.

No ban, no removed posts (or at least no notification that something happens), just mute

What is the reason behind such behavior? 😅 Do I need to be worried? Is this a warning?

Just curious!

There is a subreddit that has been locked for 6 months now.

1. the subreddit is a referral code based subreddit, the rules are that you are allowed to post your referral code every X time within a specific format.
2. 6 months ago the subreddit was locked down, you now need to request to post, i have requested to post, but have been barred from doing so.
3. I have contacted the admin, and i received a response, their claim was due to member abuse they locked down the subreddit for several months. No posts were deleted, resulting in a frozen referral code list with no way for anyone to post their referrals.
4. After 6 months i contacted the admin again, i asked if they have any idea on when to unlock the subreddit again. I was told they were relieved they did not have to deal with moderating the subreddit due to the extra work it brought them and they didn't appreciate the heaviness it brought them, removing any fun and how they didn't appreciate how people were speaking to them.
5. I thanked them for telling me what is on their mind, however i also mentioned they are holding on to this subreddit in a locked down state and thus barring people from using it now. This subreddit is very popular to use as many people i know including myself have scraped quite a few referral uses from it.
6. I asked them if it would be maybe an idea to pass that subreddit on to someone else who is willing to take on the work.
7. I was told that "They will open when ready". And subsequently muted from responding for the next 28 days.

I wanted to offer to help them out, however am unable to do so as i am barred.
Are there any solutions to this or can i just expect this to be dead in the water and forget about it?
If anything, in the spirit of fairness it would have been nice if the group was set to private so all posts were blocked, thus not favoring the 1-3 people on the top sucking up prospects this way, this would at the least allow for alternate referral subreddits to gain some more traction as they now have to use alternate spelling to at least allow people to post their referrals, thing is, most of us have barely gained any referral prospects, if any at all since then.

i'm pretty much new in Moderation and i wanted to know how u guys got members as new sub .

is there any tips u guys can give , which could help me or just i need to keep posting on my sub to grow it ?
