Color me confused. Where have we seen this?



Maybe I'm just in a confused state of mind, but can you clarify what you mean? I can't make out the point of your post.

It kind of sounds like you're saying that you do not believe moderators should be censors of inaccurate information. That's fine, and I don't see any proposal here to make moderators censors of inaccurate information.
Let's try it this way....

Member#1 makes a post
Member#2 clicks and marks the post as helpful
Members 3, 4, & 5 report the post saying the post is not helpful
Moderators review the post and while not helpful, it is accurate post and within ToS (i.e. "sorry, and no matter what you may think, what the agent told you is correct"*)

Is a moderator supposed to "un-helpful" the post?

*sorry, and I know there's a better example, but that's the best I can come up with on a lazy Saturday night sleep deprived Sunday
