About the Reddit Removed Post Checker

When a Reddit post gets no views, it has usually been removed and you weren't told. Reddit shows your own post to you as normal, so you can't tell from your account. This free checker reads the post's public status and tells you whether it's live, removed by Reddit's spam filters, removed by the moderators, held by AutoModerator, or deleted, with what to do next for each.

How to use it

  1. Open your post on Reddit and copy the address from your browser.
  2. Paste it into the box and click Check post.
  3. Read who removed it, then follow the steps for that case.

Why this matters for Reddit marketing

"Removed by Reddit's filters" and "removed by moderators" need different fixes. A filter removal can often be approved by the subreddit's moderators if you ask; a moderator removal means a rule was broken. Knowing which one happened saves you from reposting into the same wall.

Common mistakes

  • Reposting the same post right away. Filters see it as spam.
  • Messaging moderators angrily. A short, polite Modmail gets filter removals approved.
  • Ignoring the account. Repeated filter removals usually point to account age or karma.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Reddit post was removed?+
Reddit still shows a removed post to you, so it looks normal from your account. Paste the link above and the checker reads the post's public status. You can also open the post in a private browser window: if it says it was removed, or the body shows [removed], other people can't see it.
What does "Sorry, this post has been removed by Reddit's filters" mean?+
Reddit's site-wide spam filter removed it, not the subreddit's moderators. It's automatic and often catches new accounts, low-karma accounts, link-heavy posts and link shorteners. The moderators of that subreddit can still approve it, so send them a short, polite Modmail with the link.
Removed by Reddit's filters vs removed by moderators: what's the difference?+
Filter removals come from Reddit's automatic spam system and usually say nothing about the subreddit's rules. Moderator removals are made by the subreddit's moderators (or their AutoModerator rules), usually because a rule was broken. Filter removals can often be approved on request; moderator removals need you to fix what broke the rule.
Should I repost a removed Reddit post?+
Not straight away. Reposting the same content after a removal looks like spam and makes the next filter removal more likely. Ask the moderators first, or fix the reason and wait.
Can I check comments too?+
This checker reads posts. To see removals across your recent comments as well, run the account health check on your username.
