This seems to explain the things that Al and I tried to describe on the Yahoo SCOX list a number of weeks ago.

It seems that the default way that comments are hidden on GrokLaw is in such a way that they are invisible to all but three classes of people:

Those with moderator status
The original poster when logged in
Any machine coming from the IP that posted the comment. (Confirmed this last on my home network where I tested from Linux and three different Win OS's using a number of different browsers.)

It also appears that there are two different ways these posts can get into their hidden status:

The individual post is placed there by a moderator like br3n. (NOTE: This means that PJ reply with the literal truth to someone asking about a deleted post by saying that she did not deleted the comment.)
All posts from a specific user and/or IP address are automatically black-holed to this hidden status. This would seem to be the auto-hide that Brenda talks about.

I find it a bit annoying to have been called a SCO shill because I pointed out that things like this were going on. Honestly, I'd have made much less noise in the first place if someone in authority had admitted that it was hapenning.

She's still lying, but doesn't necessarily know it by mjpieters, 11/12/2004 04:59:42 EST (3.84 / 13)
