Are you certain of this? Under a previous incarnation, I've had a heavily upvoted comment administratively grayed & sunk. I'm sure the admins here are also human.
- Jtsummers 5y agoI probably should have clarified, the mods can flag. But there's only one publicly known mod, presently, and dang is one man. He's not everywhere, so if you're seeing flags on posts they're probably: 1) users or 2) automated (dupes and certain domains). Flags on comments are the same, though I'm not aware of automatic flagging of comments (aside from shadow banned users, and that is an admin decision, I'm not aware of automation based on comment content). Pointing at the mods when you see flagging has a high chance of being wrong (just by the numbers). And are you certain it was administrative? Did dang respond to your comment and say something? Or did it just quickly get downvoted?
- georgia_peach 5y agoIt wasn't flagged. The points were still highly in the positive. I only knew something happened because the points stopped skyrocketing abruptly. I looked at the same thread in an incognito tab, and my comment was strangely gray and at the bottom. This is a PR outlet for a startup incubator. If things like u/spez & u/maxwellhill can happen on reddit, they can happen here.
