Deletion of posts and topics

That's only possible if there is feedback, beyond the meaninglessly general message from the @system bot:

Well which is it, offensive, abusive or a violation of the community guidelines? If the latter, which guideline, in particular? Whose the offended party, and whats their grievance?

By hiding flagged content prior to moderator review, we end up playing to the lowest common denominator of sensitivity. On the up side, egregiously bad posts (spam, trolling, etc.) get taken down quickly because of it this, so there's a trade-off. In fairness, the mods did look over the cases I linked, fairly quickly. One got restored. The other is still flagged, and I still have no feedback as to why. :woman_shrugging:t2:
