Hi all 💛

Test whether you are able to participate in LIUSA, particularly if you are a new redditor or poster. While regular users can use this thread to confirm base user status, we recommend that you refer to any previous moderator communication to determine actual standing. This thread is likely more relevant to the new user experience. To read more about what this means: check out the latest announcement.

For new users and posters; when you first joined the subreddit you received a message saying that there was a waiting period to contribute and that your content would have to go through manual approval. We are so glad to have you here and we recommend reading the welcome message for further details!

In this thread, you can check whether you passed the restricted waiting period and your overall posting status. You can also take optional action to enter into a less restrictive waiting period by confirming you read and plan to follow the rules.

Instructions

Check your user status by commenting on this post. You will receive a automated response. All of this will be private as your comment is automatically removed.

• If you are approved to post, you will a receive a status | approved 🟢 comment.

• If you are in a restricted waiting period and your content requires manual approval before appearing on the subreddit, you will receive a message with the status | restricted 🟥 broken down in sub categories for comments and posts.

• **If you are in a semi restricted category or approved based on participation and history, this means that you are a relatively new contributor to our subredditor that can still contribute but subject to specific rules. See status 🟡

• If you are in the restricted category, you could decide to take the following steps to enter a less restricted group which has more subreddit access and less waiting time.

1. To do so, please read LI USA rules
2. Upon reading, please respond to the automated comment with a confirmation that you read and understand the subreddit rules and plan to follow them. Within said comment, please also include the two key words interspersed through the rules page that indicates you read it. By reading the rules, you will understand what this means as it provides you these two key words.
3. If your request was successful, you should receive a confirmation. Try testing your status again and ensure your status was changed to semi-restricted or approved based on participation.

Please keep in mind, all new redditors and subredditors, whether you are in a restricted waiting period or not, are still subject to our new poster rules. Particularly, if you're a brand new account on r/LoveIslandUSA or have no post history here, you will receive extra scrutiny for comments that violate the rules and community mission. This may result in account moderation such as temporary or permanent suspensions.

We appreciate your presence and hope you enjoy LIUSA! Welcome! 👋
