Yes. When a post gets a threshhold of unique reports the forum software greys it out, but does not remove it. A moderator has to review it and determine if it should be unflagged (does not break rules), removed (take as a warning), and/or the poster suspended for breaking rules.
They have not given the number of people who have to flag it to get it greyed out - over 5 I think.
Your mistake is that you broke the forum rules by discussing forum moderation. That is probably why you got flagged by people. If you don’t want that to happen, you might want to review the forum rules.
Welcome to private property where you agree to follow the rules or get kicked out. Free speech only applies to the Govt not arresting you for what you say (esp about the Govt or leaders). It does not mean anyone else has to put up with you though. There are sometimes consequences for what you say. A lot of “anti censorship” is people who want to be a jerk without consequences and don’t know how to communicate in polite society around strangers.
