It's Friday, and you know what that means. A thread full of a whole lot of political cartoons, image macros, and memes! Go ahead and post the stuff that would usually be off-topic for /r/politics here.

Don't forget to follow our civility rules though, and to save meta feedback for our monthly meta threads or our mod mail.

Happy Friday!

Redditwide automoderator glitch currently impacting /r/politics (Not-so-Good friday for the poor bot)

Posted: 30 Mar 2018 05:59 AM PDT

Reddit's sitewide automated moderation tool, Automoderator, has been experiencing sitewide issues for more than the last 24 hours.

Automoderator is removing old content, from months to many years of age for breaking with current automoderator configurations. For example, automoderator is leaving modern removal comments on archived posts, some 7 years old.

This is happening across the entire site, and not just impacting /r/politics. It is unclear to us at this point whether there's a pattern to what archived content is currently being removed by the automod glitch.

Judging by the moderation log in /r/politics, so far several hundred submissions have been impacted in some way or other. Most are at least 4 years old.

The admins (reddit employees) were notified of this issue more than 24 hours ago. As of 30 minutes ago, we recieved notice that pertinent information about the situation has been passed on to the relevant department. It will hopefully be resolved soon.

We will update this post as we know more about the situation, and how reddit will go about restoring the wrongly removed content.

Edit: The reason is apparently that Engineers have been rescraping content to ensure thumbnails and media previews are fresh and that has put the submissions back in the queue that automoderator reviews.
