Troubleshooting Fix Invisible Posts
Post Removed or Invisible? Causes, Fixes, and Next Steps
A practical checklist to diagnose what happened (removal vs filter), fix your post, and avoid repeating the same issue.
TL;DR: Re-check rules + flair → confirm format → avoid spam signals → improve title/context → retry responsibly.

Posting Rules & Flair.
Step 1: Is It a Removal or a Filter?
- Removal by moderators: you may see a removal reason or mod comment.
- Automated filter: it may look “live” to you but isn’t visible to others.
Prevention: Avoid Reddit Filters.
8 Common Causes
- Wrong or missing flair
- Wrong post format (text/link/image restrictions)
- Title format doesn’t match rules
- New/low-history account filters
- Blocked/suspicious links or URL shorteners
- Duplicate/repost content
- Self-promotion not allowed
- Missing required context (templates, proof, details)
Fix-It Checklist
- Re-read rules and pinned posts.
- Confirm required flair/format.
- Rewrite title + first lines (more context, less vague).
- Remove questionable links or add value first.
- Wait, then repost only if rules allow it (no spam reposting).
Improve structure: First Post Template + Better Titles.
How to Message Moderators (Template)
Hi mods — my post was removed and I’d like to understand what I should change to follow the rules.
Could you please point me to the specific rule or formatting requirement I missed?
Thanks!
Keep it short, polite, and specific.
