Hi! Discourse has a feature where if a post/reply gets enough flags, it’s held for review for a mod. I was wondering how many flags it takes before it actually gets held? There’s no way to tell how many flags are on a topic unless you’re a mod. [image]

I think it depends on their trust level. [image] What happens when you flag a post "Enough” users flag a post. This could be 3 trust level 1 users, 2 trust level 2 users, or a mix.

How many flags does it take before a post is hidden?
