I'm one of the guys that runs reddit. What is happening is that our auto spam filter is marking it as spam. Since we get a lot of spam, we try to help you out. The spam filter is Bayesian, so it learns from your actions. By either approving the link or confirming the ban, you are training the filter. Over time it will get better and you'll have to do ...

Reddit FAQ is suggests this answer for new submission: Why don't my submissions show up on the New page? I don't know. They really should. Maybe your account has been blocked for some reason. In my experience I never had this problem. Did you check that your submission is available in your profile under submitted tab? If it is available ...

If you're looking for only the best quality posts to make it, you could point it at the feed of the "Top" filter for that subreddit. This would ensure that only the links that are getting up-voted make it to the twitter account. The downside here is that you're at the mercy of what reddit decides makes a "top" post, i.e. you can't specify "X upvotes" as a ...
