publicly threw a spotlight on automated removals from the domain for Rare Historical Photos.

includes search queries, from which it seems that the last unaffected comment was made on 2026-04-13.

shows that removals are hard, not soft. Normal moderator approval is not an option.

Is it reasonable to assume that something within the domain, maybe posted during April 2026, triggered a site-wide block of the domain by Reddit?

If so, I don't wish to argue the pros or cons of whatever triggered the block, but it'll be nice to:

1. know whether this particular block might, in the future, be relaxed

2. know whether automatically removed items will reappear to normal moderators if relaxation occurs.

Noted in Ars Technica: "Reddit has not responded to a request for comment." – so I don't expect an official response here (and for what it's worth, I do like that Ars Technica is not a vehicle for Reddit to discuss special cases).

Thanks, and with respect

So our top post yesterday in outfits shows 4 crossposts.

It doesn't reveal where the crossposts are too though. Instead it says they are to "private or sensitive communities". I can see using PRAW that one of those was to a porn sub, but I can't see the others.

Do you have any idea how scary it is for women to find out that their personal photos are being shared and discussed somewhere and they can't even see where that is?

It seriously freaks out posters. Please let them know where their content is being shared to, or disable the ability to share to those locations altogether.

This is super, super creepy and would freak out any woman posting her photos. Someone really should have realized this when it was set up like this. Please ask some of the other women on the admin teams how they'd feel in this situation.

THIS IS NOT OK

Thanks to this sub for helping me fix my bot post problem. Comment and post karma requirements have alleviated the situation. The issue now is that I have some new sub members who keep getting posts and comments auto removed. These are people I know and interact with personally and know they aren't bots. I've told them to just post on the main subs and get karma up but these guys are old school and struggling apparently. I thought making someone an approved user would help but 8 can't see that it does anything. Is there a way around this without getting rid of the karma requirements?
