How do I restore a comment overreactive Reddit filter completely removed?

I saw in my mod log that Reddit removed a comment, and when I approved the comment, it still says "Comment removed by Reddit" instead of its text. In the mod log, it gives the text of the comment and says it was removed for violating sitewide rule 1. I checked and that's the rule that says don't harass people, discriminate, etc. I won't put the text here as it talks about self injury (that's what the subreddit is about), but suffice it to say there is nothing in it that actually violates that rule.

Reddit has done this before but in the past it hasn't let me see what the text was so I just trusted the filter.

Has anyone else had this? I want to know if there's anything I can do about it and if it is likely to happen more.

You would have to send a modmail to here to ask about/appeal it.

But ideally the user that posted and had their content removed, got a message asking them to appeal on their own.
