Circling back to this:

I just had another situation where this feature would have been very useful. Long story short…a user has a discussion going on about a Discord server in a topic. This user went and posted what was essentially an advertisement in other topics. A user flagged the posts, and I dealt with the flags.

The posts were definitely spam by my definition, but I did not have an ideal option to deal with the flag! The flag wasn’t going to be deferred or disagreed with, so those options are gone. That left `Agree with flag`, `Hide post + PM user (agree)`, and `Delete post (agree)` as the only valid options. I would have liked to have hid the post and PM’d the user, so I could explain why this cross-posting was not allowed, and asked them to keep discussion in their original thread, but I could not do so. Instead I used the delete option, and will have to PM the user privately. Everything else done via the admin/flags interface is visible to other admins/mods. Needing to PM a user regarding a flag should be too, especially considering that mods (unlike admins) cannot see my PM history…
