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.
