It's now 2 in 84. The system operates on the last 90 days. I can't claim that I have zero hidden posts out of 11,841 posts. I now have zero hidden posts in the last 90 days(of 963 posts).

So, you disagree with your most recent hide. Join the club. That's no reason to revamp the system to make it more accommodating to more assholery. I think most people here feel that not enough comments get hidden.

If you want people to fairly judge your hidden post, you need to copy and paste the full automated message that you received after the hide. Sometimes the alerter/juror comments can reveal something that isn't known or obvious to the reader.
