In `admin/site_settings/category/posting`, there is a setting (default of 10 minutes) which allows a poster to remove their flag. After the set time, they cannot do it. You can change the time here to allow someone a little extra time.

You can also find this setting in the Dashboard under `Settings/Posting`.
