As well as the usual rule:

Always have a space after each full stop (this. this NOT this.this) including ellipses (this… this NOT this…this)

Ask boxes now seem to eat asks that include the following:

“something dot com”

“something (dot) com”

“something dot net”

“something (dot) net”

So if you’re trying to send an email for instance: ”your dot email at gmail dot com” will be eaten. Same goes for links.

It should be noted that links formatted as “something ( . ) net/com” work fine. Because why not.
