Complaint Disappearing Post about Fluid Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
A thread initiated by @JeroenM on fluid mechanics has disappeared, likely due to the Physics Forums AI moderation feature that hides posts meeting certain criteria. The related thread on "Modeling an Air Compressor Cylinder" remains accessible. Moderators typically review and re-approve hidden content quickly if it meets community standards. In this case, the thread was approved after no valid reasons for its initial moderation were found. The discussion highlights the effectiveness of moderation in maintaining forum content visibility.

There is a feature of the PF AI that can put a thread or post into "Moderation" (hidden) if certain criteria are satisfied. It looks like that happened with this thread, but the Mentors are usually pretty quick to check the hidden/flagged thread or post and re-approve it if it's okay. That's likely what happened with this one.

Thread 'Official Response to "Allegations of AI misuse in PF"'

Dear Physics Forums members, I want to address a serious mistake that has impacted our community’s trust. A deeply regretful error of judgment that I alone am responsible and accountable for. No other staff had any knowledge. During the past several months, to counter declining engagement, I experimented with generative AI, intending to add value to "thin threads", especially those with 0 replies. The thread AI experiments were as follows: Discussion summary above the OP Topical FAQ at...
