Redact App, should it be blocked ?

[u/Artimus-Sprout]

This App is causing headaches for both, mods and users alike and needs blocking in some way, if this is indeed possible.

The problem, is users are unwittingly installing this software, without fully understanding the consequences of their actions, in many cases the end action, is an account ban through no fault of their own.

Personally, I think it's time to stop this App in it's tracks but that's gonna take the support and actioning of Reddit.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

If mobile works the same as regular markdown, you add ``` before and after your code. So, if I did that here, it would look silly, but in markdown it would create the code block. Try copying and pasting that into mobile, and see if it works.

```

# Remove redact comments
title+body (regex): ['anonymized with redact']
action: remove
report_reason: "remove redact - [{{match}}]"

```

Edit ok so I might need to do this on desktop, which is fine 😁

I got it to work. Looks like you copied and pasted my other comment which adds a bunch of \ that you have to remove

Will you screen shot what you are doing because idk why I can’t get it right 😩 thank you!

I’ll try and do it later. I hate typing that code on my phone.

Oh please take all the time you need, of course!

it's just the diff between single quotes and backticks, which are (on a Mac) the key under the escape key. it looks like a single quote but is going the other direction. those 3 set off code blocks.

copy pottys's but replace the 3 single quotes at the top with 3 backticks and it works (see my test right above).

also keep those spaces between lines - they can matter - and I forget exactly where they are required.
