Now this is something really simple, but I wish I had read it somewhere a lot earlier so here it goes.
On Reddit, sometimes you would get warnings for content that goes against some of their rules. When that happens, I usually appeal and I try to "eloquently and convincingly" make my case. I'm polite, well-spoken and to be honest a bit verbose. Most of the time those appeals fall on deaf ears and I didn't find that very surprising.
But nowadays, I've adopted a new warning appeal strategy that seems to work a lot better. I just write a single sentence or phrase which is a variation on "my comment was obviously sarcasm" or "I was making a joke" and most of the time the warning gets rescinded pretty quickly. Notice that I don't explain why it was a joke, what the joke was, what I was lampooning or why it was funny.
Of course, if you were spamming links, the exact approach might not work, but you might still have better chances with a short "I just shared a useful link" instead of a paragraph making and pleading your point.
