Perhaps in some cases, yes, but in other cases?
I’d be interested to know why my posts in the original Total Buggy OS - Xperia 10 Plus thread were found rude and offensive in terms of their unsuitable language, or indeed @peterleinchen 's post referred to here: Forum censorship - The Issue - #13 by Steve_Everett amongst others. However, no explanation or feedback was provided, they were just all hidden.
In fact two consecutive posts in that thread used the terms ‘bllsht’ (@Seven.of.nine ) and ‘sh*t’ (@deloptes). The second was flagged and hidden, but the first was not - so those who are doing the flagging are clearly being subjective as to which users they are flagging and not just concentrating on the content of the posts.
Could it be that the post that was suppressed was talking about ‘sh*t’ in the context of Sailfish, whilst the one that was not was talking about ‘bllsht’ in the context of Android?
