# Why was my comment removed?

There are **__three__ main types of comment removals** on Reddit when using CrowdReply:

#### 1. **Automod Removed**

**What is it?**
* The subreddit’s automod filter __instantly__ removes your comment. This usually happens if your comment includes a link or a word that’s banned on that subreddit.

**What to do?**
* Try reposting your comment **without the link** or rephrase it to avoid any restricted words. If you see the status **__“Automod Removed,”__** that’s what happened.

| **Note: __You are not charged__** for these types of removals on CrowdReply.

#### 2. **Reddit Spam Filter Removal**

**What is it?**
* Even if your comment passes the subreddit’s filters, Reddit’s global spam filters or bots might remove it after a few hours or even days.

**Why does it happen?**
* Sending **__too many upvotes to a new comment__**, especially on old threads, in a short period.
* Comment content is AI generated or spammy.
* Commenting with the **same domain name** __more than 5 times in 24 hours.__
Reddit’s system will flag this behavior as spam and start removing your comments with that domain.
* There's no way to detect if a comment was removed by Reddit's filters. It is just what we've seen based on our testing.

**What to do? **
* Space out your comments and avoid overusing the same link or domain. 
* Use a mix of brand mentions and links in your comments.
* Manually write good quality comments.

#### 3. **Manual Moderator Removal**

**What is it?**
* A subreddit moderator manually removes your comment.

**Why does it happen?**
* The comment seems AI-generated, poorly written, or spammy.
* It’s reported by other users.
* It doesn’t follow the subreddit rules or guidelines.
* There's no way to detect if a comment was manually removed by a human moderator.

**What to do?**
* Improve the quality of your comments and make sure they fit naturally into the discussion.
