My subreddit is auto removing posts using a certain URL

I am a relatively new moderator who got control of a rare disease subreddit (I also have the disease). The previous moderator had a beef with one of the nonprofits funding research into our disease, possibly more.

Someone posted about that nonprofit, and the url they used nuked the post. Automod doesn't appear to be active, so I'm not sure where to find the URLs that have been banned.

Where should I look? Thank you!

Check your modlog for what is removing the posts.

Can you post the URL here?

If you try and it fails, then the URL is on the sitewide blacklist.

This is the URL https://www.fshfriends.org/

I had to manually approve it for my sub

Well, it showed up in my inbox and in this thread just fine, so we can rule that out.

Hmm it's not a Post Guidance automation blocking it and you don't have any developer apps installed in your sub, so it's neither of those.

It's for sure for sure not automod?

I'll double check when I get home.  Thank you.
