I’m a developer building a productivity tool that integrates with Reddit using OAuth. The purpose of the app is to allow users to securely sign in with their own Reddit accounts through my website and use features that add value while strictly complying with Reddit’s policies.

The tool:

* Uses official Reddit OAuth flow
* Requires explicit user authorization
* Does not automate spam or mass posting
* Fully respects rate limits and community rules
* Is designed to add value, not manipulate engagement

However, whenever I try to create a Reddit application, I receive this message referring me to the Responsible Builder Policy:  
[https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/42728983564564-Responsible-Builder-Policy](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/42728983564564-Responsible-Builder-Policy)

I’ve carefully read the entire policy and confirmed that my project aligns with all guidelines. The only issue I can think of is that my current account is relatively new.

I previously had an older Reddit account with karma and contribution history that would likely qualify, but I no longer have access to it. Because of that, I had to create a new account, and now I’m unable to create an app.

Has anyone experienced something similar?  
Is there a minimum account age or karma threshold required to register an app?  
Any advice or recommended steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance 🙏
