Possible to configure Discourse to allow flagging after disagreed flags?

AI-generated summary

The user Hooksmith is inquiring about the possibility of configuring Discourse to allow users to flag content again after a flag has been previously declined by a moderator. This is necessary for their moderation team’s use cases, such as when a post is edited into something inappropriate after the initial flags were declined. They are unsure if there is a setting to enable this or if a plugin would be required.

Currently, I believe users are unable to flag content again if a flag was previously declined by a moderator on that post. Our moderation team has some use cases where they want users to be able to flag declined content again (e.g. if poster edits it into something inappropriate after the flags were declined).

I’ve searched through Discourse settings and I don’t believe there currently is a way to change this, but my understanding of how the flagging system works in Discourse might not be entirely complete.

Is there some setting I’m missing to facilitate our use case, or would this require making a plugin?
