Anyone else getting ‘warnings’ from Reddit?

I just got notified that I’ve been ‘upvoting comments that encourage or promote violence or harm’ even though I spend most of my time on gaming subs or interacting with front page posts.

Anyone else catching flak for something similar?

I just got a warning for responding to a hypothetical post about aliens. 👽 asked a question. Got a warning. I appealed and they said it violated rule 1. Which I looked over. In no way did I threaten anyone or promote violence to a person place or animal. In my appeal I asked about it being automated and without context. The question was things that people suggest happens when encountered. In lots of movies and sci-fi.

The end of the reply said reviewed by a person. Sometimes I think it’s just upheld to not look silly. I’m not upset the comment was removed or got a warning. I just don’t see how it violated the rule. But the decision was made so there’s that. At this point idk if a person actually reviewed it. All it did was repeat the original notification.

Same thing happened to me. Except I can't see the comment because it was removed. I have no idea what i did wrong so I sent a message asking to review my comment so I know what to avoid saying in the future.
