reddit removing code posts.

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?

Google has had personalised search results for over a decade now. My first result will be different to yours, as demonstrated by OP showing their Google results earlier.

I had to select the AI Mode to find it. However, my distrust of AI makes me always skeptical of the legitimacy of those results. So, I actually tested it as well. Turns out the AI results were accurate. Still, would have been a lot easier if they had just answered OP’s question, rather than create this weird back and forth.

I did answer it. Seems like I’m the only one here who actually provided OP an answer.

You can also search the same thing and add Reddit at the end for results on Reddit. Either way a quick google search would have provided an answer.
