View submission: Announcing Remove as a Subreddit
Did you make the account immune to automod actions and crowd control?
Reddit added in a feature post removal reasons as the subreddit instead of from your personal account.
However, this feature creates a brand new account that is named subreddit-ModTeam. ***Since it's a new account with no history, automoderator rules that remove new accounts posts remove it, so does reddit's spam filter and crowd control policies.*** It's not well implemented (for example, you can't edit the remove reason after it's posed, since it's not from your account)
It was alarming to see an account created seconds ago and not on our subreddit moderators list post a distinguished and locked comment that ***was automatically filtered by Reddit and reported by our automoderator.***

Great question and good catch. We’ve synced with the internal team that works on Crowd Control and our spam filters to ensure the issue you called out is fixed. However if your automod is set up to filter accounts by age limits those filters will apply until this new account surpasses those limits.
