I got my first one today for upvoting something that incites violence. Lmao I don't even know what it was. I'll probably get my second for responding to a comment that mentions burning and skin.

How are you supposed to respond to that?

"Thank you for warning me that your website is full of violent content that you are incapable of removing before I encounter it. I'll be making a conscious effort to spend less time here in the future."

I got a warning too for the same thing and there's no way to respond to the warning
