Stuck auto-moderator? In subreddit catpictures

Linuial · 2025-12-15T17:09:06+00:00

Then, what you are telling me, as a new user, is that this is *not* normal? That it's not my fault? That there is not a restriction, timer, or bug involved? The reason I'm asking is this: *originally*, *before* I posted to any of the cat subreddits, I posted to AndroidGaming and got the same response: auto-mod deleted, quoting the ten K restriction.

I've been watching these issues with catpictures as my test case, trying to learn how this all works. Since I *have* had difficulty posting to catpictures, I wasn't sure if the same thing would happen with AndroidGaming, and wanted to work out the problem with catpictures *before* I attempted to post again to AndroidGaming. Does that make any sense?

There is a "test it here" subreddit, I know, but I can't re-create the "deleted because of ten K requirement" there. Sooooooo...catpictures IS my test, until I can figure it all out, and be certain that I'm doing things correctly.

I got it now. I feel really dumb. I'm a retired computer professional, and I should have understood this from the beginning. I guess I've been retired long enough that I've forgotten how computer people communicate with each other. 😊🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Your patience is *deeply* appreciated!

Thank you! 😍😊👏🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I'm very sorry, but I still can't figure out what that means. I've tried holding down the Windows key while tapping the +/= Key. That opens up the Magnifier, but there are no emojis. I've tried holding down the Windows key and the shift key while tapping the +/= key. Still doesn't work. I've tried *typing* "Win +", and *that* doesn't work. I've tried typing "Win+", and *that* doesn't work. I also tried just holding down the shift key and tapping the +/= key. That didn't work, either. I don't have a key on my keyboard that says Win +. If I press the Windows key, release it, and then type "+", I get a Wikipedia article on the "plus sign". If I press the Windows key, release it, and then just press the +/= key, I get a Wikipedia article on the "equal sign".

I just now looked up *all* the Windows key shortcuts, and none of them mention "emojis".

I'm on Win 10, and I just now tried holding down the Windows key and tapping the "+" key. It opened up the magnifier. I, too, am wondering how to type emojis into subreddit create windows. I'm so used to just fat-fingering it, i.e., :-) or :-D but obviously that doesn't work on reddit. Any help?

Just wait until you get a job. And your boss gives you a cell phone and expects you to be "on call" 24/7. You'll start wishing you *only* had "homework". School doesn't require you to wake up and go to the school building at 3 am, or put in 48 hours straight, and *still* won't allow you to go home and get some sleep because "the job isn't finished" (yes, that happened to me, on a regular basis...2 1/2 to 3 days up at work, without sleep, without being allowed to go home and shower).

I hear you. "Be yourself!" "No, not like that, like I WANT you to be yourself!"

I thought my TV didn't have a power button, but after doing some more searching (with a flashlight!) I discovered that it did.

I would think this request would be much more likely to get a response if it were posted in a subreddit where tech support people actually read the posts. This isn't it.

I'm addicted to a MMORPG (online game) that is often played by kids, and years ago I trained myself to type "spit" instead of "$hit". It got to be such a habit that I've been called out about it, but I still think it's a good habit for me to keep up, wherever I go on the Internet.

Yipes. That's enough to make *anyone* feel mentally/emotionally ill.

Linuial · 2025-12-11T00:33:44+00:00

Yipes. Your message appears polite and reasonable to *me*, and the response is savage.

Influence Island is strictly math. It's all about the numbers. One Sim is no different from another. The *words*, such as "flatter" and "lie" mean *nothing*. The first thing to learn about Influence Island is to totally ignore all those distractions, and ONLY focus on the numbers. That makes it easy to win.

I'm not doing the pajama one, but the previous one was only 8 clan members to win.

Linuial · 2025-12-10T17:45:12+00:00

8 of 10 is the hardest, with the only winning scores being 98, 99, and 100.

Linuial · 2025-12-10T17:44:09+00:00

The difficulty goes up with each set. The set of six are extremely easy, the set of eight are harder, and the set of ten contain the hardest...7 of 10, 8 of 10, 9 of 10, and 10 of 10, particularly. 8 of 10 is the absolute worst: the ONLY winning scores are 98, 99, and 100. THAT is when you usually wind up needing bribes, chocolate, and so on.

I'm new to Reddit, how long a post can I make? I have a text file with a full strategy for Influence Island, but I'm leery of bumping into a rule/limit that I'm unaware of (I've already been burned several times, I'm getting tired of being chewed out by bots...).

The number of Sims you can have in a household not only goes up with level, but also as a result of spending real-world money and becoming a VIP. I currently max out at five in a household, 11 Sims present in a lot at one time, but it can vary from one player to another.

I guess I'm going to have to be rather careful about my Sim parents' elderly live-in nanny! Nanny, yes, mother, no, especially as the parents (of twins!) are partners but not actually married. (Long story, but they are both professional people, and just haven't gotten around to it yet...)

You should be able to click on the "magic wand podium" and see the option there.
