As far as I know that can only be done by an admin, no? If it was all an automatic thing done by the system, then I have no issue with it. BTW, it looks like they turned off the flagged state of this post and are giving the discussion a chance. Well done. Let's hope the comments here don't devolve into silly political bashing...

As far as I'm aware stuff can be flagged to death by crossing a threshold/without admin intervention - but I'm not 100% sure tbh.

Enough flags turn it dead. Mods not required.

OK, I had not realized this. Thanks.
