Moved this over here so I could answer it, Lexolotl.
There is a bug they’ve been working on with silences. No, you weren’t ‘mass reported’ - you were reported by several people, but all for the same whisper that seems to make no sense. Why you sent it, or what you meant to say I don’t know, but that’s what got you a silence.
This was actually considered harassment.
The natural end to this should be late this evening. You are correct in some cases the silence isn’t releasing.
If this does not expire naturally at its appointed time, do let us know tomorrow and we can have another look.
