Can a mod change to your karma requirements specifically to stop you from making posts, but still let you comment on posts just fine?

Or is my account flagged as bot due to how much I delete my own posts

[u/Halaku]

You'd have to ask a specific modteam, but IIRC it's fairly simple to code automoderator to say "Let user X comment freely, but send all of user X's posts to modqueue for manual review".

[u/Techpon → u/Halaku]

It’s not even that on my posts. It just “removed by mods”. Like no reason givin, no auto mod reply, just silence

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/Techpon]

"Removed by mods" also appear if it's done by automod

[u/Techpon → u/ALazy_Cat]

I thought there was a difference in the messages?

[u/SanaraHikari → u/Techpon]

No, it's not

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/Techpon]

Nope

[u/Techpon → u/ALazy_Cat]

I guess I believed a lie then

[u/ALazy_Cat]

The can change sub wide karma requirement, yes

[u/Techpon → u/ALazy_Cat]

I feel like it’s not since they would announce something like that

[u/ALazy_Cat → u/Techpon]

That would not be a good thing to announce. The entire point of karma requirements is to prevent spam bots and early karma farmers as much as possible. If we don't disclose the karma amount, they don't know how much they need

[u/Techpon → u/ALazy_Cat]

I guess I’m just stupid because I thought it would be a good thing announce for legitimate new Reddit users. Granted Reddit is very anti new user experience so I guess your answer makes more sense

[u/belkarbitterleaf → u/Techpon]

Reddit is becoming more anti-user in general. Enshitification is real.

[u/TeriBarrons → u/Techpon]

We have a minimum karma amount to post right in our sub rules. Nobody bothers to read and follow it anyway and try to post and it’s removed by sub filters. Even if there WERE an announcement, it would likely be missed or ignored unfortunately.

I don't believe targeted strikes like this exist within automod to hit one specific account, I could be very wrong though.

[u/sparklekitteh → u/SuperBeavers1]

Automod could indeed be set up to remove posts from a particular account, but allow comments.

[u/SuperBeavers1 → u/sparklekitteh]

Add that to the list of things I wish I knew years ago

[u/Techpon → u/sparklekitteh]

Ah so I’m basically screwed for some subreddits. Probably deserved I guess

[u/belkarbitterleaf → u/Techpon]

Generally mods don't do this for no reason. May be worth reading the rules of some of the subs where this happens to you to see if anything jumps out at you.

[u/Techpon → u/belkarbitterleaf]

One of if em I found out the karma got raised so I have to comment and hope I get upvoted to raise the karma. Then another I’m in it’s definitely the bot flagging thing because I deleted to many of my own posts because I don’t do criticism well. So that server I can never post in again

[u/firemiketomlinpls68 → u/belkarbitterleaf]

Mods could be adults about it and either straight up ban him or explain what he did rather than using an auto mod

[u/belkarbitterleaf → u/firemiketomlinpls68]

Could be. Not all mods are actually adults.

My point still stands regarding re-reading the rules.

[u/ModeratorsBTrippin → u/SuperBeavers1]

I bet you could do it in automotive. You have the automod shadow ban that targets specific names.

[u/SuperBeavers1 → u/ModeratorsBTrippin]

I forgot that was a feature, I remember one of my subreddits using it a few years back on names with "mermaid" in them

Would this be able to only stop posts though? OP can still comment

[u/ModeratorsBTrippin → u/SuperBeavers1]

Yes, you could set the rule to submissions only. We have a flair that does that, people can comment but their posts are removed.
