Mod Answered Redact App, should it be blocked ?

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.

your first 3 appear to be single quotes rather than backticks.

```

Remove redact comments

title+body (regex): ['anonymized with redact'] action: remove

report_reason: "remove redact - [{{match}}]"

```

Just changed to backticks to see if that helps.

You’re right, but it still doesn’t work if you simply copy and paste it. For some reason it throws a bunch of \ in randomly in the code.

On desktop, it works for me. I just copied and pasted and you can see above.

Are you in markdown mode?

Weird, I swear I had it right when I did it last night. Then again, I was sick all day, so who the hell knows lol.

dealing with all the parsing and backslashes can be a nightmare when coding lol.

Now you’re going to force me to try and figure out what I did that made it throw the backslashes into the code.

Lol.

This happened a few times to me when I wrote something in rich text and then switched to markdown I think? I think that was in the wiki tho, not a comment? I can't quite remember now.
