Am I correct in assuming that when discourse compiles summary emails/ digests, it honours flags the same way as it does when displaying topics on the website? In other words, it will not include a post in an email when it has been flagged as spam by 3 users (or whatever is set in `flags required to hide post`).

In that case, I’d like to suggest a site setting that allows me to set a lower threshold for emails, i.e. I’d like to make sure a post with a single flag doesn’t get emailed out but I don’t want it to be hidden on the website unless it reaches 3 flags.

I think we follow the same rules as usual. One flag doesn’t exclude a post from the digest.
