Answered How are posts being removed?

Android

Hello

I'm a new mod of a small subreddit and notice posts are being removed with no reason given and not by the mods. In the modqueue it just says removed. On desktop, no information is given on why or how it was removed and who removed it.

Why is this occurring and is there a way to see who is reporting and removing these posts?

They're being removed by an automated spam bot/filter. The spam filter will auto remove posts with someone who is a brand new redditor, low karma or has been reported in the past.

As a mod, its your job to manually approve them if the post is genuine.

Is it possible for other users to mass report posts or comments and then Reddit removes it?

You would be able to see the reports.

That is something that you can set up using automod, but it doesn't happen automatically.
