It's remove, we can hit remove and there's no notification to you that we did. Hide/unhide just changes visibility for your own individual account, everyone has it.

Saidit isn't heavy on moderation for regular people, but we get spammed to hell with bots and occasionally trolls. That's why the spam measures are cranked up.

That is bullshit

The post was clearly shadow banned because someone on the mod team set up the auto+moderator to do that.

Yes, we use automod to catch spam. It also got this guy's post. It's not malicious.

Yes, to be "suspicious" of new accounts, spam comes from a regular stream of new accounts made just to spam us.

I'm all for changing things if the members want it. I don't think anything here is written in stone. If people want to put up with more spam so we don't ever accidentally remove a valid post that's possible. Bring it up in a post if you want.
