Basically, someone said something pretty darn harmful/violent to the OP of a post for asking a fairly harmless question. I denounced it, and eventually they deleted their comment.
Someone else asked what they said, and I answered straightforwardly what they said, and minutes later I see it was removed by Reddit itself and I was warned for breaking rule 1, which isn't even what happened. I was fairly surprised as I made it clear I wasn't the one who said it.
So, should I just not answer these types of questions in the future? I don't really know if I was reported, but it said it was automated so I'm leaning towards no. I've been using Reddit for many years now with no infractions/issues so I was pretty surprised. Don't really know if it's worth it to try to appeal.
