And how do they work?

Hidden replies?

you mean like this?

Did you accidentally hit the ā€˜summarize topicā€™ button?

Replies can be hidden (click to expand hidden) if they receive three flags from 3 different people, but that is rare in practice. You would have to post something pretty damn egregiously bad to get that to happen around these here parts.

Sometimes the anti spam checking layer, Akismet, will decide a new post from a new user is maybe spam and hide it as well, until it is reviewed by staff.
