What is with all of the hidden answers lately? And who hides them?

Update:

I was trying to be serious; so it did not help that Yahoo put the Q in this section (but your responses are humorous). And in an interesting twist, I noticed one of the answers has already been hidden.

Update 2:

To Kitty: I had the same thoughts as you, so thanks for confirming. I figured 3 stars was enough for a decent answer, so do not be offended by not getting 5. And again, I enjoyed all of the wild, crazy, and off the wall answers.

    With all of the hidden answers lately, it’s a computer program. No one hides them. They are hidden when they seem (to a computer) to have little relevance to the question, or when they are duplicates of previous answers. That’s why two people can answer “No” and one gets hidden while the other doesn’t. My answer probably won’t get hidden, because I intentionally copied your wording.

    Also, to what section did you want this question to go? Any Level 7 user can move it there for you, if you like.

    See? It even lists my answer first due to “relevance,” and just because I used your words!
