Too bad that can’t be done a second time.. I had flagged topic 27636 once, then needed to flag it for reopening again, but can’t.

Expected: that the account is no longer visible refresh the page and the user will no longer be listed (as the approval was carried out successfully) Bonus points for providing a link to /admin/users/list/new so the new user(s) can be reviewed
