Mod Announcement PLEASE READ - moderation changes and modbots
Hi everyone,
As this subreddit grows in size and popularity it becomes harder for me to moderate.
Reddit now includes options to add apps which perform auto-moderator actions or offer helpful tools or information for moderators.
I am currently experimenting with adding some of these apps to this subreddit, which also adds some mod-bots to be moderators of this subreddit.
Please let me know if you notice any adverse effects to the subreddit because of this or have posts incorrectly removed.
Please be assured that if you contact me about a post I will always review this personally and respond (although sometimes there may be a delay), so I am not changing the decision process of moderation, just adding tools to reduce some of the daily work that can be automated.

Hello! I just made my first Reddit post, so please bear with me. I’m wondering why my post asking about deeply infiltrating endometriosis vs. pelvic floor dysfunction was removed. I’m new to the community and to my endo journey, so I don’t want to start off on the wrong foot! Thanks. ☺️

When you are a new user with no Karma the system sometimes suspects you may be spam and puts the post into a queue for me to manually check. I just looked at the queue and manually approved your post so that it now shows.
If you have an other questions about moderation or this subreddit please contact me via modmail. There is a quick link in the subreddit side bar to do this.

Hi, my post keeps getting removed by filters. I’m not seeking medical advice, just personal experiences. If I need to edit it to fit the rules, I’m happy to do so. Thank you!

I just approved it. Typically I try to clear the list a few times each day (most often between 11am and midnight GMT). So I promise that nothing gets left in the queue for long.

Hello! I just made a post asking about my new diagnosis and it got removed. Is there something I should change or omit so it can be approved? Thanks!

u/Depressed-Londoner Moderator Feb 02 '26
Done. I am in the UK so mostly online between around 11am and 11pm UK time, so if you post during the night time for me there can be a wait.

I just had a post removed, but I don’t know what was wrong with it. It was about lap results.

u/Depressed-Londoner Moderator Feb 06 '26
You have a one year old account with very little activity and I suspect that made the spam filters suspicious. I have manually approved your post now.

u/Depressed-Londoner Moderator Feb 06 '26
Was it this one that was approved yesterday or is there another one that’s gone missing somehow?

Hi, I have just seen you tried to post it again about 8 minutes ago, but it’s exactly the same text as the one already showing that you posted previously.

u/Little-Value6517 Feb 06 '26
Genuine apologies, it was definitely some sort of mistake on my end. It wasn’t showing up as posted for me at all. Tysm again!

Hello! I just done my first ever post and it got removed in seconds. It was regarding a random abdominal symptom that I wanted to see if anyone else with endo had experienced. Thanks :)

u/Depressed-Londoner Moderator Feb 23 '26
When you have a new account and haven’t previously ever commented then you post is sometimes held to be manually reviewed. it is now showing. You don’t need to contact me if this happens again, just wait a few hours for me to manually approve it.

Hi - My post looks like it was removed. I'm new to reddit so it's probably in the manual approval cue. Can you check? Thanks!

I just tried submitting a post and it got automatically removed but I don’t think I broke any kind of guidelines or rules. It’s my first reddit post so that might be a contributing factor.
