You can fix this by adjusting the **Hide Post Sensitivity** site setting. Set it to a suitable level such as **Medium** or **High** — this will automatically update the internal `score_to_hide_post` value back to a healthy threshold.

Just note that the lower the sensitivity, the less flag score is required to hide a post — which is why posts were getting hidden immediately.

Reference for how this maps internally:
