Automatically remove posts if they receive too many flags

Had noticed this happen at an older site that must be using a previous version of discourse, flagged posts are still visible to the public not just logged-in users.

Can specify who can see the hidden posts. From the topic you linked:

The persistence of posts hidden by flags are a bane to our community

Thanks to @nat’s guidance, I submitted a PR to core. Now you can customize who can see hidden posts.

This isn’t always necessarily true, overall I would say respecting freedom of speech is much more important to most people than for flagged posts to be censored.

I would disagree - from what I’ve seen, most forums prefer to have posts that are against forum rules to be flagged and moderated, as opposed to a free for all of “free speech”.
