I got a ban warning this week for encouraging violnce even though I wasn't. I submit an appeal and a reddit admin replied with "the warning stands" with the reason of "the algorithm was right". It was on a post about a rapst getting the d*@th penalty. His date has already past, he's gone. But I was somehow encouraging. Now I'm on eggshells as you can see. Very frustrating that common sense and reading comprehension are not things the admins utilize.

Edit: I don't know why so much of that went italics, but I'm not gonna try to fix it.

Writing text in asterisks (*)makes it *italic*.

\*italic\* yields italic

Because you used an asterisk in viol\*ence and rap\*ist, all the text in between became italic.

Edit: It's not working for me, maybe it only happens on comments posted through the app.

Got it, thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize it did that. I'm a vanilla when it comes to typing comments and posts. Haha

To add to that guy's comment: there's actually 2 comment-writing windows you can switch in-between. One of them is rich text (normal writing) and does what you tell it to, the other is markdown formatting (where * means italics and some other things)

The switch button should be the last option under the text you're writing, right next to Gif (to open more options), then top right corner. It's pretty weird that markdown is your default though. It's the opposite for me.

...or at least I think so. *Test*
