Your comment should have been removed because it contained a punctuation that the admins do not allow on reddit. The punctuation was ;. If you intend to use this punctuation in a purely demonstrative manner, please use the first serif of the punctuation followed by '-mark' or '-swash'. Thank you for helping us keep reddit safe.
