You need a seventh slash at the beginning to be accurate, among other things.

Am I the only one that is completly clueless on what this all means?

I was for a while. Apparently, when you tried to submit comments earlier this month or last month, instead of the comments being submitted, you would get a long string of /s and 's listed as your comment

More specifically:

' tried to become \'

\ tried to become \\

Because the excess \s were never cleaned up, the first apostrophe would give you one slash in the comment, then you didn't even need to change anything at all and any update in the same game would give you 3 slashes in that comment, then 7, 15, etc.

Now an apostrophe is shown as \', but the slashes no longer inflate exponentially.  It looks choppy, but at least you can live with it.
