Why was my comment removed?

There are three main types of comment removals on Reddit when using CrowdReply:

1. Automod Removed

What is it?

• The subreddit’s automod filter instantly removes your comment. This usually happens if your comment includes a link or a word that’s banned on that subreddit.

What to do?

• Try reposting your comment without the link or rephrase it to avoid any restricted words. If you see the status “Automod Removed,” that’s what happened.

2. Reddit Spam Filter Removal

What is it?

• Even if your comment passes the subreddit’s filters, Reddit’s global spam filters or bots might remove it after a few hours or even days.

Why does it happen?

• Sending too many upvotes to a new comment, especially on old threads, in a short period.
• Comment content is AI generated or spammy.
• Commenting with the same domain name more than 5 times in 24 hours.

Reddit’s system will flag this behavior as spam and start removing your comments with that domain.

• There's no way to detect if a comment was removed by Reddit's filters. It is just what we've seen based on our testing.

What to do?

• Space out your comments and avoid overusing the same link or domain.
• Use a mix of brand mentions and links in your comments.
• Manually write good quality comments.

3. Manual Moderator Removal

What is it?

• A subreddit moderator manually removes your comment.

Why does it happen?

• The comment seems AI-generated, poorly written, or spammy.
• It’s reported by other users.
• It doesn’t follow the subreddit rules or guidelines.
• There's no way to detect if a comment was manually removed by a human moderator.

What to do?

• Improve the quality of your comments and make sure they fit naturally into the discussion.
