How do I prevent posts in topics from being hidden/skipped?

Hi all,

I noticed that when navigating posts in large topics, certain sets of posts at the start (i.e., posts 6-8 for example) are hidden, and I’m not sure how to reveal them. Is there a way I can turn off this feature so that all posts are shown unless an admin/mod explicitly hides them?

If they are hidden it’s because they have been deleted or hidden because they are spam.

Oh okay, so when I’m navigating through posts and it goes post 1, post 3, it just means that post 2 was deleted or spam? Good to know, thank you.
