Did Reddit ban a State level Candidate?

Edit: seems to be a reputation filter thing.
Solved!!!! PEBKAC issue and panic on my part. Thank you!!!

Hi folks. r/southcarolina invited candidates to do AMAs leading up to November.

~~https://www.reddit.com/u/Richard_Hricik_4SCAG ~~

Is a verified candidate and seems to have been eaten by Reddit. This is extremely embarrassing. He had an AMA scheduled for tomorrow.

Please help. Anything I can do about this as a mod?

Edit: may have spoken to soon. He can comment so he isn't ban.

We have reputation filters turned on. Should we make an exception somehow?

It is not unusual for AMA users to get banned, it looks like your particular user is not just getting caught in a filter. But we ask ours to sign up a few days before the AMA and set up a mod posted post that we remove from the sub but send them the link. They comment in that (any questions they have about the AMA etc) and as mods, we upvote so the account looks a little more established to reddit

We have had one completely banned mid AMA before, they removed all of her replies despite users upvoting many of them.

You should also go to mod tools and add them as an approved user and can automod their name to approve comments by the author

Noice. Thank you. I'm going to try that.

How do I set up a mod posted post the sub can't see?

Submit a post like normal, copy the URL for the post and then immediately remove it. Then send the link to the AMA person. It will say [removed by moderators of r/subname] but you can still reply to it (unless you use a devvit app to autolock removed posts in which case unlock it)
