    Post Not Showing? PLEASE READ

    Hello everyone,

    We get a lot of mod mail about people’s posts not showing up and I wanted to explain why.

    We are very fortunate in a subreddit of our size to have limited reasons to moderate, as we are all united by our love of reading and you all do a good job of positively contributing to this community. Thank you for that!

    On the other hand, you might be surprised at how much spam we get from authors and bloggers, and by keeping our spam filters high it helps us to catch a lot of what gets posted. You all do a great job of reporting the rest, and we appreciate you.

    Due to the spam filters and automod settings we have in place, some of your posts get temporarily filtered until we can review them. Reddit recently created an automated message site-wide that creates a lot of confusion, saying your post has been removed. PLEASE do not post again. We aren’t able to edit this message and we can’t turn it off. Your post hasn’t been removed, it is just awaiting moderation. If your post is removed by us, we will always give you a reason why and reference which rule has been violated. If there isn’t a reason, it was either removed by Reddit (you might be shadow banned and don’t realize it) or it is in the moderation queue and will be actioned. Either way, multiple posts won’t help.

    Thanks for understanding as we keep up with Reddit’s changes. We love this community and all of your passionate posts about books. Keep reading and sharing, everyone!

      I like surfing, have an adventurous 6 year old, and I am not good at reading boring stuff. What should I read? What should I red to my son? He likes history, science, and fiction. I enjoyed Hitchhikers Guide and Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.

      Does it typically take more than a week in the moderation queue to get a response? As a new fiction reader, I created a Reddit account specifically to post here looking for new books to read. I checked the forum every day hoping my post would be approved but it never was and the only reason I got was “your comment karma score is below our threshold of 5 or your account is under 48 hours old.” But that’s because my account is new, I don’t understand how you’re ever supposed to get started on reddit then?

      Really quite the bummer

      I’ve seen a lot of vague, and often repeated, posts – from accounts with single digit karma – but also with avatars. Which smells of bot activity. Would it be possible to require a minimum of karma to allow posting here? Might thin down the “suggestion me a mystery fantasy with some romance, I liked Dune” posts.

      How long does it take to get approved? I made a post a week ago and it’s still hanging out. 😒

      I don’t see my post that I made a couple of hours ago, but I didn’t get an automod message. I just want to make sure I’m not shadow banned. Can someone please see/respond to me?

      Posted 17 hours ago and I don’t think it’s visible still. Hard to tell.

      Hi. I posted a question about 3 days ago… how long does it take on average for posts to get approved?
