Abuse of the forum Report function

Hello! I’ve had a few comments hidden due to flagging from trolls, despite the comments being completely on-topic, and I received system messages telling me that my comments were hidden.

I’d like to know if a mod/admin could take a look and unhide my comments, and furthermore, if there is any way to counter report-trolls that try to shut down discussions when they disagree with something that isn’t reportable.

The automated system is terrible and being weaponized to shut down relevant discussion.

Send a private message to one of the Forum Moderators if you have any questions about moderation on the forum. You can find all the teams and the areas they handle listed here: (Who is who and Reporting Procedure). If you don’t get an answer within a few days you can add more moderators from the list to the original message instead of sending a new message (that way you preserve the date of the message and it doesn’t look like a new request), adding one of the moderators to the message every 2-3 days or so until you get an answer.

Please do not to add the seniors until you have tried all other regular moderators, the Seniors likely won’t answer unless they are added and pinged by the regular moderators but if you’ve added all the regular moderators with no answer then you can add the seniors.
