Why this post got unflagged How can WoW compete with XIV?
When it is clearly spam and advertisemnt.
And why did this post calling out first post being kept flagged.

Why are moderators not objective and have evident bias?
Automated just like everything else. If you get a review you are lucky. Simple as that.
They intentionally unflagged first post while decide not to unflag second despite both being spam.
I would guess it’s because there is feedback in this thread that Blizzard can read and consider.
Probably a couple reasons. First, if there’s already a discussion going on, don’t start a new thread to piggyback off the first. Add to that first thread constructively. Second, this is a forum to discuss WoW, not complain about a different game and give spoilers for that game.
The first thread is a feedback thread for what WoW can do → exactly what the forums are for.
The second thread is complaining about FF14 → not what the forums are for.
Overall, the SFA’s in this forum have no say over moderation in the other forums.
Literally subjective.
Literally thread about talking crap about game.
From someone subjective opinions while being clear advertisement for another game.
Just curious though, what’s the proper channel to talk about GD-related issues? Cause good god that place is a mess.
I believe this one we are customers, and we want to know rules.

I cant read I learn by actions.
There are 2 conflicting actions to same thing.
So, if you can’t read so I guess there’s no point for a mod to tell you if there is a bias or not?
His post was never removed though, they were just flagged. If the community flags the post that means it’s up to the mods to decide whether or not it breaks the rules.
I talk about flagging and unflagging read title.
If it breaks the rules, then it should be removed and state exactly what rule it broke in which part.
Keeping post flagged should not be a thing.
Yeah, I know what you’re talking about lol.
Yes, but they clearly decide which stays flagged and which not.
If the OP believes it’s a false flag I think he can appeal or whatever.
Sometimes threads get ‘unflagged’ just due to length of time they’ve been flagged - it’s been a bug that’s been present for god knows how long.
A good way to tell if what happened was the bug is if you try to report the post (which I assume you did) - it will fail. Nothing will happen. That means it’s still flagged, but it just isn’t… appearing flagged.
As, to my knowledge, the forum mods do not work the weekends, probably 99% of flagged threads stay up until Monday and most end up encountering this bug in the meantime. Very rarely, with threads that get super heated, a CM comes along and hides it, not a forum mod. So I assume they hide it so the mods can deal with it on Monday.
Also, unless I’m grossly mistaken, the CS agents don’t do forum moderation, so asking here won’t do much?
convenient excuse.
Well do not know better place where to ask.
I literally told you it’s a bug. It’s not an excuse. You can literally try yourself - try flagging the first post you linked as spam - it won’t do anything.
Because it’s already flagged.
You cant multiple flag with 1 char.
