For what it is worth, my vision of this thread is to understand actual and intended procedure when we flag posts, not to litigate proper board policy or any particular moderator action. Not that anybody has strayed off course yet…
In a certain thread, @Jonathan_Chance wrote that he had recieved over 900 reports. His response was to put all participants on high alert:
Forty-two hours and one hundred forty-eight posts later, as described by Ruken, the system user appears to have temporarily auto-locked the thread “due to a large number of community flags”. Could a moderator clarify whether the thread was actually locked by a moderator, or whether it was automatically locked by the system due to a large number of community flags? If the latter, is that intentional?
In the same thread there is a post by kswiss that currently reads,
(In the actual post the words “View ignored content” are blue like a hyperlink.)
Could a moderator confirm whether this specific post has actually been hidden by a moderator, or whether it has been automatically hidden due to community flags? If the latter, is that intentional?
