I was given a warning for upvoting something. Probably for upvoting something about punching Nazis, which just let me state is a very bad thing, because we totally shouldn't punch Nazis, because violence is bad. Instead we should befriend Nazis...apparently, according to reddit.

Wait, you can be given a warning just for voting on a comment? News to me, yikes.
