Sorry, missed this post.
It's due to a temporary rule that was added in relation to the sex bots. I'll adjust the rule today.
They have some Regular Expression or other automated rules that can remove posts or ban users. It can rarely be good in case of a serial spammer, but generally I've seen it ban Kiwi links, or what are arguably innocuous appearing posts that may trigger a rule due to key words or other heuristics in case of links.
As a bot named "GlobalFilter" that performs its namesake, it's not really subtle or deceptive in any shape, but I would prefer it banned so our community can enact our preferred rules...and avoid false positives.
Sure, but we put our faith in the platform when choosing it over SaidIt, Poal, and other alternatives in the 1st place.
They have been transparent with GlobalFilter - which you can apparently ban - as noted in mod logs, and the presence of "C" under Moderators.
If WIN has or later goes rogue, not much to do other than to realize it and select a new platform.
Nothing so far has convinced me that this isn't just Dom being retarded though. I mean, it's not like some didn't raise the same concerns within the sticky - https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/GIJF3rpD/welcome-ashore/
Tell me more, wth is that Global Filter? I've seen it remove a diverse panoply of posts and comments.
It's a cross-WIN platform filter that removes comments. I don't know if it's ever been documented somewhere, but I did see the admins respond here - https://communities.win/c/Meta/p/141EiMCCpi/why-does-globalfilter-remove-the/c
