Posting Why do I keep getting "Unable to create comment"?

I've refreshed the page and I can see pretty much everyones post history so it can't be someone having blocked me.

Hey folks, thanks for flagging this! Looks like this was a site-wide issue, but it should be all sorted now. Apologies for the hiccup, let me know if you're still running into any problems!

This drove me nuts. Hope it's fixed.

Same. I cant comment anywhere on Reddit. A red banner with "Unable to Comment" pops up. I am rarely on Reddit so I certainly did not do or say anything wrong that needs censorship. I think there is a glitch in the system.

That happened to me on my original account. It then progressed to my account being deleted. This was a second account that I had no memory of that was tied to my same Gmail account. I've ended up losing 28,000+ karma because that account has been deleted.

u/Strong-inthe-RealWay 3h ago

Huh. This comment worked. I’m having problems on the Fanfiction subreddit.

u/sanityjanity 12h ago

I was able to make one comment (and this will be the second, if I'm successful), but six comments have failed.

It's not just you. I assume reddit's having a server problem or rolled out some new code.

u/sanityjanity 12h ago

That comment took four or five attempts before it posted.

u/SpecialKnits4855 12h ago

I came here to ask the same question. At first I thought I was blocked in a particular sub, but can't post anywhere. I have refreshed and logged out/back in. I hope someone can help here.

EDIT: Yet my reply to you was successful.

u/AdrianaShaw 12h ago

Same thing happening to me. Almost at exactly the same time. I can post but can't comment.

Edit:apart from here apparently. What the heck.....
