Actually, Globe-Users look at a comment to give thumbs up or thumbs down. If a comment gets 3 thumb’s down then it's passed to ICUC Mods who give the comment a final thumb.

Now, one ploy of 'collective' manipulating Users may be to garner support from others of a like-minded 'bias'.

Let's say, imaginary User known as Alces123 is focused on 'all stories Muslim' & works to manipulate Story commenting threads by 'grooming' like-minded Globe Users; to where after a number of 'react' sweeps of the commenting thread, User Alces123 'flags' a no. of comments he/she does not like. Then the same 'comment/reply' is reviewed by ICUC's moderating staff.

We're not privy to ICUC Mod's data screen, but it seems logical the User Id of the 'comment writer' & that of 'comment flagger' are visible & available on screen for the ICUC Moderator.

Given the Human night crew of ICUC speaks 3 languages, perhaps we can surmise an all-round fixed 'collective bias' inveigles to now decide/censor everyone of us.
