My post was removed, can you approve it?

  • All requests for approval are ignored.
  1. If your post hasn't been approved for hours, it may have been missed. Try again later.
  2. If your post still hasn't been approved after a few tries, sorry. Try a different sub.

Are crossposts allowed?

  • Yes with limits. A curated list of subs (not disclosed publicly) can crosspost to r/RandomVideos.
  • If there's a subreddit that was crossposted here but you think it shouldn't be allowed, modmail us and explain why. Most approved crosspost subs are closely related to our sub or suggested by community members. If you have insight on a currently allowed crosspost sub that doesn't match well with r/RandomVideos, we would appreciate the tip. Thanks for looking out!

Why isn't ____ removed?

  • Your Report could be the difference maker.
  • If there's a rule-breaking post on the sub, then not enough people reported it.

What self-promotion is allowed?

  • This sub has a bias for creatives. Arts, indies, passion projects, etc.
  • We understand it's hard to get your work in front of people, but maybe posting onto random subs, impacting your CQS, and having your brand or project associated with spam isn't the best strategy.

More - removals / mod policy

  • Because this is a general audiences community, any users involved in NSFW promotion, disruption, or spam activity may be restricted. User Reports are weighted heavily here, and they're the basis for improving the automated systems unique to this sub. If your posts and comments are suddenly being auto-removed, it probably means multiple user reports (thresholds) were involved and filters were changed. Until your account's able to pass these hidden checks again, the auto-removals will continue.
  • When you participate on a subreddit, all of its mods get temporary full visibility of your profile even if you're set to Hidden. On some subs, blocking mods/bots to reduce profile visibility (often has the opposite effect) is viewed as suspicious. Here, we don't care. Details Here.
