At the risk of belaboring the points, the phrase “soft moderation” has a very widely used conventional meaning, which we’re being told was not the intent. The phrase “soft conduct moderation” is one Google never before heard of. So my best guess was that “therefore” it must refer to editing. Which also, it transpires, was not the intent.
I don’t know what “gentle nudging” refers to either. The only “official” actions visible to others here are hiding (collapsing and dimming, not removing) of “flagged” posts and editing posts.
So posts were wholly removed? I missed that. In that case, I apologize to Steve for poo-poo’ing his expressed concern about that.
