AutoModerator & Templates: Why Your Post Gets Removed (and How to Comply)

Many removals aren’t personal—your post simply didn’t match a required template, flair, or formatting rule.

TL;DR: If a subreddit uses templates, follow them exactly. If AutoModerator filters you, adjust format + context and try again responsibly.

Most common fix: wrong flair + missing required fields. Checklist: Posting Rules & Flair.

What AutoModerator Typically Checks

  • Title patterns (required tags/brackets)
  • Minimum account age/karma requirements
  • Link restrictions or blocked domains
  • Missing templates/fields (location, budget, proof)

How to Comply Fast

  1. Read pinned posts + wiki (templates are often there).
  2. Copy the format from top posts.
  3. Rewrite title + first lines (more context).
  4. Post once, then engage (don’t spam retry).
