This topic goes back a few years. A while back ('18-'19) the flag system had some changes: > [@Proposal: Consolidated Review Queue](https://meta.discourse.org/t/proposal-consolidated-review-queue/105588): > > Background Right now Discourse has many different interfaces for reviewing things: Flagged Posts / Topics Approving Users Queued Posts (a user typed something too fast or other heuristic) Akismet Plugin Each one of the above has a different URL and interface, despite at their core being a similar operation. Additionally, the operations above are restricted to staff, and on some forums there is interest in allowing higher level trust users help out with approvals. Proposal The next version of… AFAIK, it’s fairly developed but if you know of a problem please speak up. (eg. moving from one category to another should deal with any involved “off-topic” Flags). What I usually do for Flags that are “friendly” is _Ignore_ them. And only after, maybe then Delete. I have found that Deleting before the Flag is dealt with records as _Agree_ IMHO, having some Staff-only info can help. eg. a staff note “deleted per members request” or a staff topic “About Anakin’s Flag”. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/moving-off-topic-flagged-posts-should-automatically-clear-the-flags/31624)._
