I don’t quite understand how your attempts to create a component that hides something in the review queue help prevent the post from being hidden due to a flag by a moderator. Flags by users with high trust levels sometimes have more power than intended. @Steradiant is not the first who wishes for a flag that doesn’t hide the post [Trigger Moderator Attention Instead of Auto-hiding Flag](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trigger-moderator-attention-instead-of-auto-hiding-flag/330128)
