That account has been deleted so it won’t be replying to you but this is everything I’ve PM’d to AQ in the past ~2 weeks
And this was the entire text of the thread that was deleted.
I didn’t reply to the thread or tell AQ anything about it.
He’s literally lying so he can call me a liar.
Quit jaqing off. The moderator has been more than patient and the poster was asking to be sidelined (banned, muted, whatever).
I just recently had a post flagged in the COVID thread. Now, I’m sure no one is going to believe me, but I don’t actually care that it was flagged. Anyone who wants to can read it and flagging almost makes it less likely to be scrolled past.
However, I am curious about the flagging process. Does it just take one poster to flag a post for it to be hidden from view? If not what does it take. Also, is there a process for a post to get unflagged. What is that?
Congrats! You’re the latest target of a proud non-reading moron who couldn’t get past the first few words before hitting the flag.
The answer to your questions is a) unknown algos dependent on the flagger’s success rate in flagging other posts and b) don’t know.
0% chance that’s what happened. But ok jal, you got to stir up as much shit as possible about this incredibly minor thing.
There’s some sort of system where flags get hidden based on the trust level and flag accuracy (whether mods agree) of the posters doing the flagging. The post can be unhidden if a mod disagrees with the flag.
You’ll also get the same kind of note if a mod approves a flag.
I don’t know the answer to your question, but after reading your post I’m wondering if the flagger mistook your post (“you just lie”) as a personal attack against the person you were replying to.
This interpretation may be too charitable but in this season of giving and family and community, I want to believe. 
Of course that’s what happened, if the vigilant post reporter and stalwart moderator had actually read the entire post and taken a few seconds to understand what was written then the clear meaning would have been understood. But they both stopped reading at “You just lie”. Pretty hilarious actually.
I’m not sure it’s that clear cut. I don’t remember exactly when or who was involved but there was at least one episode where there was serious hand-wringing and consternation about the idea of lying to health care providers in order to get a vaccine you were not technically eligible for.
I thought it was possible the flag was reflecting this kind of sentiment but I have no idea. Obviously flagging for either reason is dumb.
People lie to doctors all the time, hiding that post because it was bringing up the possibility of lying to a doctor is even dumber than just reading the first three words of the post and mashing the post report button. I suppose its possible though.
I see the moderator liked your post, I suppose he could tell us which it was. Not holding my breath though.
This was the exact reason I agreed with the flag. It had nothing to do with my alleged illiteracy or being too stupid to realize it wasn’t a personal attack and while I’m not a mind reader I don’t think the poster who flagged it was a “proud non-reading moron” either.
It’s shocking you couldn’t think of one single other reason, and were shitty to multiple people about it.
It’s really cool how you and jalfrezi are soooo sure that CN flagged the post that you’re repeatedly insulting whoever did it by calling them a moron and dumb when in actuality it was flagged by someone I don’t remember ever flagging a post before which is another reason I agreed with it, along with the precedent that recommending lying to doctors to get medical treatment in that thread was a bad thing.
For the record, I think my ban was considerably too long given the circumstances IRL, but what’s done is done in that regard. You won’t hear it from me here again.
lol you hid this post because it mentioned lying to the doctor? And ikes reported it because it mentioned lying to a doctor? Not even advocating, just mentioning? I don’t know if I believe you but this is even funnier than you guys thinking he was calling ikes a liar. You guys are out of control, like jesus christ just let people talk.
I was actually giving you the benefit of the doubt, reporting and hiding the post for duker’s hypothesized reason is even dumber. Lie to THE DOCTOR??? CALL THE CENSOR!
It was not my intent to stir up that flag, but in retrospect I guess I should have seen it coming. Please be kind to each other and enjoy the weekend.
You guys should probably stop calling other people illiterate
Lying to the doctor is A Bad Thing? CALL THE MODERATOR IMMEDIATELY! You know you don’t have to get involved in every post you don’t agree with and people can talk like they’re fucken adults without you getting involved in every little thing that might push the envelope of what you personally are comfortable with. Like I said, I was actually giving you the benefit of the doubt because you feeling like you need to censure Melk here for mentioning that you can lie to the doctor to get the vaccine that you want for your kid is totally absurd. You’re out of control, just let adults talk to each other without empowering your network of tattletales mashing the report post button every time they read something they don’t agree with. To be clear: I think you’re even fucking dumber and more grasping if you hid the post because it deigned to suggest being dishonest with your doctor as a means to a desired end than if you just got confused and thought that it was calling ikes a liar.
I’ll be exactly as kind to otatop as he has been to me and my friends.
