Maybe it is a glitch in either the spamfikter or the reported user function, I don't know... But I have had to unblock people by following them. In one case I only noticed cos I have the pingstr thing set up which alerts me of DMs via a telegram message, and they happened to message me. There was no big red button, no indication at all. There's been a handful of people I've seen to date, and it's just people noticing and alerting. For example plebstr was showing me these user replies whilst amethyst was not. There was also no 'show anyway' option or anything. Which makes me wonder if amethyst is doing something different (?)

Yep, if any account that you don't follow has sent repeated messages to you, it will go into the anti-spam filter.
This is a very typical spam we see in Nostr (random accounts messaging everyone, all the time). Once you follow them, you tell the app knows that you trust the account and thus it doesn't go to the spam filter.
In that sense, it's quite similar to the Gmail Spam folder for marketing accounts. Repeat a few times and it all ends up there.
In these cases it wasn't repeated messages. They were replies (one reply each) and then one DM, (from a normal person lol). I can only assume they had been reported for unpopular opinions by people I follow. But there was no 'reveal post' or any alert or indication in any of the scenarios I've come across. (Apart from using plebstr as a sort of amethyst plugin to reveal these posts). I'd like to think these things can be less common. I'm also not that keen on having to follow people just to see their replies lol. I wonder if there is a solution to this (?)
It's also possible that Amethyst is not finding the message on relays. Did you find the accounts in the security filter session in the left drawer? If they were never there and you never saw a red button, then it is something else (like a slow relay or a relay amethyst cannot connect to)
