So, one of my friends recently got silenced on the forums we’re on. Then, about a day or two ago, he suddenly got unsilenced even though the mods weren’t on at that time. While this is good (…because transmitting messages through a literal Padlet isn’t the best thing), it did leave me wondering: How?

(Also, somebody said that Discourse might run on autopilot, but I don’t think it’s really like that…)

I’m not sure if this is a bug or an anomaly like the last time I posted.
