Why are comments and post in some subs shadowdeleted / muted?

In some specific subs all my comments and/or posts instantly gets hidden, without notification. Why?

Not karma or age. I know this because I can check by viewing my comment and post in a incognito window and it will say "Comment no longer exists"

It's at least but not limited to the subs "interesting, ranting, and a few more"

You should contact the mods there. We wouldn't know.

Right. I did. I was just thinking maybe theres some feature or something on reddit that mutes you from multiple subs simultaneously

If you're new to a subreddit, have negative karma in that subreddit, or not subscribed, you might get filtered by the "Crowd Control" system. Mods can then review that in their moderation queue and let you through.

There's also a "Reputation Filter" that is an AI that tries to guess if you might break the rules, and mods can create their own custom filters using AutoModerator, too.

There's also the site-wide spam filter if you find it happening on multiple subreddits, or one of many third-party bots on Reddit's Developer Platform (that usually have customisation for the mods to decide how they work exactly)

That's the reason people say that only the subreddit mods can answer, there are so many possibilities, and what I've listed above is probably still missing some filters that I have forgotten.

Could be your CQS. You can check your CQS (contributer quality score, you can find out more in the sidebar of the sub I am about to link) at r/WhatIsMyCQS by making a post with the title "what is my CQS" and a comment will pop up telling you what range your CQS is in (lowest, low, medium, high, highest)

Only the mods of those specific subs will know for sure. Could be any number of things. Theres no 1 reason why it could happen.

Either it’s generic automated filters provided by Reddit (most likely), or we just don’t want to see those comments on the subreddit.
