Hi folks, wonder if you have some advice for me. Had a look at the documentation, but it doesn’t go too much into detail.  
Based on the nature of our product I expect that occasionally we’ll have people posting content that is helpful for us to know, but we don’t want it to be public.  
In other words I want our staff who don’t have full admin or mod access to be able to flag a post, have it removed from view (temporarily or not) and ping the mod team, but not to punish the user who posted it.

What would be the best flow for this, or how do you do it? I’m not too familiar yet with how flagging works and affects users.

Thanks.
