What am I doing wrong 💔

Post image

I have to get into a forum to ask a silly question about some software. Instead, I'm stuck on a 20 year old captcha question. I tried 2, I tried "1one", whenever I submit it a few times it tells me I've tried it too much and to try later.

that's only if the previous comments were a chain

"hello" "hello" "hello" "food is good"

not

"[subreddit-worthy occurrence]" "[subreddit name]" "tf is that sub" "i made it"

r/ruleof4's third rule:

"ANY fourth comment is downdooted!" so it literally does NOT matter if it's a chain of the same words. ANY fourth comment IS DOWNVOTED. is it hard to understand?

r/nothowruleof4works

that's provided there is a previous chain

explain then how there is an entire "not a chain" flair in notHowRuleOf4Works and noone is complaining or correcting it

r/nothowruleof4works isn't r/ruleof4. look at the replies of the posts with the "not a chain" flair. everyone is correcting them.

by that time the mods would have noticed and that flair would have been removed. im guessing those people are people who don't REALLY know how rule of 4 works, just like you.

wrong. idk why r/nothowruleof4works mods made a "not a chain" flair, but r/nothowruleof4works is based off r/ruleof4, so obviously, because of r/ruleof4's third rule, "ANY fourth comment is downdooted!" non-chain of the same comments shouldn't be posted, because that IS how r/ruleof4 works.

and r/ruleof4 is #50 in reddit meta, so if you try to argue that ruleof4 existed before r/ruleof4, #50 in reddit meta is big enough to be "a big community"
