    Not many possibilities, are there? People substitute letters with number or punctuation that look like the letters, use various homophones, or split up words with punctuation. Maybe you could try translating your comments to Greek or Romanian.

      These are creative solutions. I really appreciate you trying to answer when no one else would. But I’m probably not going to change each letter or word individually for everything I say (or translate to another language, which means most people can’t understand it) when I don’t even know what things are going to be removed for seemingly no reason. What I do currently is similar, if I notice that my comment has been removed, I usually try to rephrase it, split it up, and post it in different ways through trial and error.

      Sometimes I’ve noticed if my comment is simply longer than a few sentences (or a small invisible character limit, seemingly), it gets deleted. So truncating what I’m saying can work.

      But all of this is very difficult to do and never works consistently. I still get random comments deleted all the time.

      The desire for a text character format that doesn’t get removed by default is this: I would be able to type normally without having to worry about deletion. I would not say anything bad, because I don’t already. It would just mean that this faulty comment deletion would no longer prevent me from using the comments section.
