This features gets more abused than it actually helps. Certain people, I guess you only need 1 or 2 flags, flag every post they don’t like or agree with. People need to stop to get offended over everything they read and don’t like. Until then, can me please remove this feature? It destroys more than it helps. An internet forum is a place where different opinions are expressed and, in this casen, also where people voice their frustration over game design decisions they don’t understand/like. There is no need for an additional forum internet police besides the mods that, to be fair, really don’t censor inconvenient oppinions at all.
Edit: Even posts with many likes get hidden just because 1 person doesn’t share your opinion. A small minority of people shouldn’t decide what posts are ok and which are not.
Some legitimate posts do get flagged but there are a lot of pointless and silly posts that do need to be flagged (I think I’ve only ever flagged two myself since May).
It doesn’t work like that. When a post is flagged by many users, mods check it. If it’s in fact against forum rules, it remains hidden. If it’s not, then it becomes visible again. Unpopular opinions are never hidden by flags, as long as they don’t break the rules.
