If the account was blocked in 45 seconds then it would be highly unlikely it was moderated by a human.

But given that people have not been able to reproduce this suggests this was probably not automated.

Also, I have hard time seeing an automated system that deletes someone's account including all data for using the f-word in their password.

Maybe the people trying to reproduce it didn't already have strikes against their account and this reported could have.

Why? China does flag people for monitoring 24/7. Is it hard to believe that in China where the party values stability over everything else that they would not have ID people that they feel post / report unfavorably on the CCP as someone to be tracked / watch by a human at all times? The Chinese state security apparatus is quite good and has near unlimited budget and man power.
