There is a setting — `post undo action window mins`. This is described as “Number of minutes users are allowed to undo recent actions on a post (like, flag, etc).”

In many cases, setting values to “0” means no limit. I’m not sure that’s the case here — if it isn’t, you could set a ridiculously high numbered to effectively be forever.

But this doesn’t change _just_ that. It’d be nice if the documentation text were a little less vague on what the impact might be.
