OK, it looks like Discourse reduces multiple question marks; the next bullet points show 1-5 question marks:
- ?
- ??
- ???
- ???
- ???
Discourse has decided that more than three question marks should not be allowed.
How can I disable this “feature”?

You’re looking for the `enable markdown typographer` setting. It defaults to on. If you want more than 3 question marks, you’ll need to disable it.
> _Use basic typography rules to improve text readability of paragraphs of text, replaces (c) ™ etc, with symbols, reduces number of question marks and so on_
