Do mods delete forum comments or am I trippin?

It seems many comments from one of my threads have been deleted but I’m not sure

Comments

Another question I have is, how come guardians have the power to delete comments, but normal forum users can’t even delete their own comments?
There is another forum where the original owner allowed anything to be posted in the off topic forum but deleting posts was not possible. His philosophy was to own what you post.

Sounds good, until it's not but it's a great life lesson that free speech is not free from consequence and you don't get to decide how others react.

Well, if it is actual free speech, it is free from certain violative consequences and you do get to decide how others react to the extent their reaction involves suppressing your right to free speech. That's pretty much the whole point of the right to free speech.
On the other hand, free speech of course has no relevance on a private online forum, despite the millions of social media posts to the contrary....

Guardians can delete comments, as well as threads with less than X comments (like ~3 or something)

One thing i want to know, is it the Guardians who add the 5 abuse count as well or mods do? This is also another way of deletion. Curious.

I got one because of a quote reply to someone else which maybe contained something, another was comment containing a spoiler kt1 video and third was a joke they didn't like i guess. So total 3 so far overtime. Like who usually takes a call on that?

Last time when I was a guardian around here, the flag system would automatically add 5x spam at once. Which is what I assume was somewhat the trigger to delete the comment. There was no direct "delete" button.

One more question, do guardians also get to know who did what reaction to comments? Like i always think not to hit disagree on Pikolu.

That was never the case back then, but I believe they can see it now. Or at least some already threatened that they could, to try to discourage people on some specific posts to have an opinion that was against theirs

I'd actually love to see a concrete answer to this.

Seeing who gives you a Disagree/Insightful/etc..
Actual Kabam personnel, probably (well, I’ll hedge that bet with “Maybe ?”). I think one of them is who made that claim a while ago.

Guardians, no. At least, not that I’m aware of.

Yes, I believe it was Jax who previously had threatened that he could see who it was, and that he was paying attention to whoever didn't agreed with what was being discussed

6 votes for No… 6 persons who don’t know what is the job of a moderator (no latter what the forum deals with).

Or 6 persons who purposely vote against the majority.

RE an earlier question on Spam/Abuse.

Cases where other people are responding to (or quoting) content which is removed (bad words, mean spirited, confrontational, necro'd posts, some spam, etc) unfortunately would get caught up with an unintentional Spam/Abuse mark as well, just because it contains or refers to those which are the actual Abuse/Spam target.
And that is the unfortunate nature of being the only way to remove such posts/comments.

There have been times of pages full of back-n-forth where someone starts threatening others. But even though some people may be trying to be peacekeepers in there, the whole bunch really needs to be taken down because it includes all the various “quoting”.

But just those #’s don’t really matter on your account (Kabam Mods would be the ones to potentially take any additional action, after manual review of who was saying what).

Some types of browsers/modes don’t even show those Spam/Abuse marks to you (I don’t have any idea how many I have on my own forum account, I’m sure I have at least some after so many years here)..

I only say this because of yet another NECRO'd “Promo Codes” remark today. Which wasn’t even a remark or usual necro promo code question. It was a single letter, but popped the post back to top, encouraging other new players to see it and start asking a bunch more “any new promo codes ?” again. Junk, spam. (unfortunately, someone responded afterward, which would have still kept it at top. Sorry “K”)
