hidden content
understanding what hidden content is and how to manage removed posts and replies.
hidden content is posts and replies that have been removed from public view.
what "hidden" means
when content is removed (whether by a moderator action or by enough downvotes) it's marked hidden. hidden content doesn't appear in the sub feed or in threads, but it's not deleted. moderators can still see it here.
restoring content
if content was removed by mistake, or if you change your mind, you can restore it from this page. restored content goes back to being visible in the sub as normal.
auto-hidden content
content can be automatically hidden when it receives enough downvotes. this is a community-driven signal, not a moderator decision. you can override it by restoring the content if you think the community got it wrong.
