I think it works as intended - depending on what trust level you are it has different actions. I think it takes 5 or more trust level 1’s to hide a post.
Because you have trust status 3 (“regular”). anything you flag will get hidden and marked for moderation instantly. abusing this feature should result in you losing trust status 3. - I am not sure if you can autohide someone of the same trust level or higher. that probably takes more than one flag.
I don’t know, someone with $250,000 in zec is reading this forum and is following it, I don’t know if they post or not. (I love you t1Xcho!)
why do you think people are not posting? - maybe because other people are saying what they want to say? or maybe it is because the forum is not inclusive enough? or maybe there is another reason, I would be really interested to hear your opinion on this.
I cannot see messages getting deleted by admins by mistake, what sort of mistake are you referring to?
