I think there is a "real" person, because one of my Q's was just deleted (no profanity) unless the are deleted after so many "abuse reports" which was for no reason at all.

no. there's a computer that censors based on keywords, and when you get reported 3 unique times your Q or A automatically gets deleted, even if you ask "are cartoons fun?" in the cartoons category.

Its automated most of the time for keywords, but I'm sure multiple people may sync in to double check from time to time.
