They have a lot of dead comments, and their recent comments are all non-dead.

I wonder how that algorithm works. At the risk of discussing a bit of a taboo topic (are there rules against this? there might be...), I've never vouched for a comment and had it come alive.

I'm confused, how can I see it, for example?
Looks to me that the ban was reversed at some point. The GP's comments are quite reachable.

Strangely, I'm still seeing the comment. How does that work?
A user with enough reputation and who has enabled the option to view censored comments can vouch for a censored comment, restoring it.
