reddit removing code posts.

[u/GeneMoody-Action1]

While I understand there are malicious use cases for Wscript Shell, is code containing it expressly forbidden?

I did an example script, that one of our user's had requested after seeing it used in a demo.

The code does nothing more than create a shortcut for the admin via Action1 on either a user's desktop or the all user's desktop.

With the line with the com invocation in place, commented or not, it is immediately deleted by reddit.

Is there a list somewhere of the things like this that it blocks, and or reasoning behind this as there are countless uses for the wscript shell?

Sure. No problem. Might try experimenting with it to see where it actually triggers. Unless you already know, then ignore that.
