Feel Free to Comment in the Subreddit. If You’re Not Already Approved and from the LinkedMusicians.com Send a Message to the Moderator.

I’ve been reclaiming my time and rethinking how to balance my time and ability to moderate with this subforum. I want trusted parties to be able to comment and post here. My only concern is keeping out bad actors — and there are a lot of them. Every day the automoderator (subreddit has a bunch of automoderation tools) deletes dozens of spam and inflammatory posts from this subreddit. It also sometimes deletes legitimate posts by mistake. The other day, I found that it deleted a friendly post where someone made a nice remark about a demo I made for sample library.

But as I don’t have the time to visit the subreddit several times a day to moderate, I need to rely on strict rules and automoderation. I’m learning more about how to manage a subreddit this way works and have found that I can manually approve trusted members and they can post. So, if you are a LinkedMusicians.com community member and we know one another, please send me a message (you can simply message the moderator) asking for approval and I’ll approve you so that you can make posts or comments. I want well-intentioned community members to post. I just want to keep out those with ill intentions.
