Yes, sub was banned during the big Reddit clean up where they banned every sub that add words like that.

Sub was not breaking any rule, expect the sub name contain "improper" words

How did you do that? 😯

🤷🏻‍♂️ ı just did it and it worked.

I hate all these secret styling stuff. Why don't they add a proper interface for all of it? A forum i used to use had that 15 years ago.

look up Markdown, it is the most commonly accepted syntax for formatting text in the software dev/tech realm

Markdown is what reddit uses for the secret styling stuff
