I think things are deleted after say 3 or 4 reports. What is your opinion?

I think the system is automated until a person racks up so many violations, at which point a "red flag" is noted in the system. At that point, I think a real person looks at the offenses and handles it accordingly.
Why do I think this? A few months back, my mouth got me into some trouble on the message boards. Things that I had posted in confidence were being used against me. I was embarrassed and I wanted the posts removed.
I have more than one ID, and I reported MYSELF and my offensive posts many times. I made false reports, and I made reports stating the true reason why I wanted the posts removed. I did everything I could think of, and you know what? My posts are still on the boards, and I haven't even received an administrative notice for all the violations I reported.
If it was a completely automated system, I'd have been removed by now. I feel certain that someone's reading it and letting it remain so that I may enjoy a healthy serving of humble pie.
I do think that the "red flags" go off immediately for such abuses as racism, obscenity, and impersonation. Everything else gets sent to the back burner for awhile.

There have got to be actual people deleting these posts. They probably have a person monitoring the Religion section because that is always destined to be a heated matter. They probably monitor the Darwin posts too.

I don't know because I have seen some really disturbing things on here repeatedly posted, reported it and it stays around. Example pornographic pics and comments about child molesting.
Nice to see your still here! God bless DM

Look in the top-right corner of the page: "answers home-blog-forum-help"
Click "forum" and look for my question from last night (probably several pages in by now).
Humans make the decisions regarding censorship.
And I've been banned from the forum for my POV ;-)
Peace, Debra

I don't think so. I see a pattern in the things that get deleted and in those that don't.

I think at first it is automatic, but if you argue something, a person looks at it and then decides.
