Automatic cool down period after receiving multiple flags on multiple posts

Contribute Feature
3

Ok, here goes. I see three options for the criteria:

  1. a total number of unresolved flags for more than one post
  2. a number of posts with unresolved flags on them
  3. a number of posts automatically hidden with unresolved flags

Option 3 seems to me the most straightforward. It’s easy to understand and leverages other rules we might have for hiding posts. So, here’s my recommendation:

Block a user from posting further if he/she has two (2) posts automatically hidden until a moderator resolves at least one of the associated flags.

I’d like to hear some feedback from other forum owners.
