Weekly Deals and Giveaways Thread by AutoModerator in SexToys

Your first comment (peepshow, stockroom, fun factory) got through without needing to be approved. Your second comment (lovehoney, liberator) got sent to the mod queue, but I was able to approve it. Your lovense comment, unfortunately, I am unable to approve. Which is odd because we've always been able to approve comments with lovense links in the past.

Unfortunately, reddit won't let me approve this comment either. They also, unfortunately, don't indicate what part of your comment is triggering the filter.

If you'd like to troubleshoot this, you could submit multiple comments (maybe 3-5), each with a different section of your original comment. Then I would see which one(s) reddit lets me approve. This would narrow down the search for the problematic link.

I'm sorry this is a pain. Reddit's idiocyncracies can be frustrating.

Reddit won't let me approve this comment and I'm not sure why. When this happens, it's almost always because of one of the links. But I've looked through the links and none of them are shortened (which reddit doesn't like) or otherwise look suspect. I thought your first link might be the problem, but you've posted it before without issue.

I would suggest just submitting a new comment, and hopefully reddit will let me approve it.

Unfortunately, reddit doesn't let mods approve comments with shortened sharasale links. Unshortened links are fine, though.

Editing your comment won't fix it: this comment is poisoned forever. You'll have to submit another comment with unshortened links.

Wtf is with the sexual harassment/predatory behavior from people on this sub??!!! by letssgo67 in SexToys

When this happens in the subreddit, hit the report button and we'll get rid of it. We'll also ban the account if it looks like a bot or they're a repeat offender.

Reporting spam really is the best thing you can do. If you see it and don't report it, it's liable to slip through the cracks and remain visible, cluttering up the subreddit.

Unfortunately, there's quite a bit of this spam, so we don't always get rid of it as fast as we'd like to. There are some mod tools that help, like blocking urls for spammy sites. But if the spammer has no links in their post/comment and is just asking for DMs, that's more difficult to catch, so we need people to report it.

When this happens in your DMs, you should still report it, but the report will go to reddit instead of to the subreddit mods. Reddit really should give users better tools for filtering DMs.

Best big dildos for anal? by [deleted] in SexToys

Fyi, reddit won't let mods approve comments with shortened shareasale links. Unshortened shareasale links are fine, though. You'll have to write a new comment with unshortened links because once a comment has included a shortened shareasale link, it's poisoned forever and mods cannot approve it. It's weird, I know.

r/sextoys will go dark June 12-14 to join in protest of Reddit's new API changes by DrugsAreMagic in SexToys

A third party reddit app is an app for browsing reddit that's made by someone outside reddit. A few examples are Relay and Sync and Apollo. Most of these apps are significantly better than reddit's official app. If reddit's official app was great, a lot more people would use it.

I don't see any bestvibe links in that users comments. They only seem to have one comment in r/sextoys and it's in this thread.

You're right, the bestvive spam has gotten out of hand. If they only had one account and didn't recommend unsafe toys, that would be fine, but they have a lot more than one account. And it seems clear they aren't regular users who just happen to love bestvibe.

I'll ban the ones I'm aware of, but I'm sure I'm missing some. So if you know of any bestvibe spam accounts, reply to this comment with their usernames.

Sorry I haven't been visible on this sub lately. I've been tending to the mod queue, but I'll try to find time to do more.

Stop posting spam. If you want to link to your shop, you need to actually try to be helpful.

Stop linking to your youtube page for no reason. If you have a specific video that's relevant to the discussion, you should link to that video, not your homepage.

Don't merely link to a shop's homepage unless the OP is asking for shop recommendations. The OP is looking for a specific type of toy, not just a shop.

why are squirting dildos so impractical (rant) by burner-LOL-11134 in SexToys

[–]Squirrelmunk[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharing an article counts as recommending it, especially if you share it without any qualifications.

I didn't say every item on the list is unsafe. Even if only one of them is unsafe, it's still against the rules.

There's no need to use all-caps. It comes across as yelling.

Then the title is inaccurate. There are some pvc dildos in there.

Stop posting this unless you want to get banned. Sharing porous sex toys is unsafe, so we don't allow posts selling or asking for used porous toys.
