Should be ('fo' is short for 'formatoptions'):

:set fo-=r fo-=o

See:

:help remove-option-flags

You shouldn't do that. You should add it to ~/.vimrc. System Vim files
are fair game for overwriting/deletion during system updates.

It's probably being reset by some plugin/filetype.

In addition to:

:set fo-=r fo-=o

Also add:

:au FileType,BufRead,BufNewFile * se fo-=r fo-=o

Which will set the option every time a filetype is set, a buffer is read
in, or a new file is created. (Possibly overkill, but it should cover
wherever it's being set.)
