As a moderator, I sometimes come across posts which I consider problematic, but which I would not like to take action on myself, given a prior history of personal conflict with the respective person. Usually, I would like to just flag the post in this case, but this sadly autohides it, defeating that purpose.

Except for sending a message to my fellow mods manually, is there anything suitable for this situation?
