How many hidden posts have had since DU3 began?

I have one and that was in Meta. I cut and pasted a hidden post which a jury voted to hide because the majority felt it was an personal attack on an anonymous juror on another alert.

You were casting your pearls before swine (I actually prefer swine to those cretins).

My favorite hide of all time was when the troll BBI posted some ratfucking thread on President's day, and I wrote,

"It sucks that your bosses didn't give you the day off."

I was proud of that hide and looked back on it often for laughs.

The "personal attacks" were IMO far more mild than the posts to which I replied, but that's how it goes.

I used to post a lot in the I/P forum which was pretty contentious, but I got along okay with both sides, never got a post removed there. The one I lost my temper over was from a troll that didn't last long - and it was on an animal thread.
