Trust me, there are more than two sides. I happily walk my own side and annoy both ‘main’ sides.

On a different note. @DeMichael_Crimson You seem to have run away now you’ve realised your facts are wrong and your abuse of the ISDs was in fact user error on your part.

I haven’t run away and quite frankly, you haven’t proved anything to me other than you think saying F-off to people is acceptable and on-topic.

So which of your posts in this topic gave you a notification it had been flagged and is now hidden again hmmm?  
Because I promise, I just picked a random post you made and flagged it to test your claims. And it sure doesn’t look hidden to me. Which means your claims the ISD deleted unflagged posts are pure speculation based on your flawed understanding of how moderation works on the forums.

I have seen posts vanishing moments after they were written and posted. Not mine. Just certain character posts.

Nobody have to flag anything, when ISD or CCP sees whats going on.

From my own experience it takes multiple flags to hide a post, notifications have always tended to come when the post is hidden; not when it’s initially flagged.

YMMV

First of all the post would had to have been previously flagged for it to be flagged again.

Secondly I gotta say yeah you got me good, made me scroll through this entire thread to see if one of my posts had been flagged. Didn’t see any of my posted replies flagged and quite frankly, in the past I’ve had plenty of my posted replies flagged and I’ve always received a notification about it.

It could very well be YMMV. However I don’t think it takes multiple flags to hide a post.

Let’s give it a test, you flag this reply, see if it get’s hidden and I’ll see if I get a notification.

I’ve only seen that happen in one instance, where the person spammed a post that was already deleted due to flagging. So a legitimate action in my mind.

It’d be hidden too, because he doesn’t think that it takes multiple flags to get a post hidden, multiple being more than one.

And you definitely get a notification for a post being hidden by the system because it’s been flagged by others.

What is it with the people in here that see the words “treat everyone equally” as “we demand harsher moderation”?

It’s like trying to explain color to a blind man with some of you people. An incredibly contrary and stupid blind man.

Why do we want harsher moderation?

By the time you filter out what we can actually talk about here, the boards should basically moderate themselves. Can you even post a zkill link here?
