/r/nfl was notorious for deleting posts from unknown users when new broke to repost it from a mod’s account. Had nothing to do with ban evasion or bots, just leveraging the control they had to make sure they had all the biggest posts.
I don’t know what you were posting but I don’t think my odds of having things removed were ever that high, lol
But it is nice to not have that feeling yeah
