I trust our moderators to monitor and deal with problems on the community, so I want them to have access to posts that are flagged… just not private messages.

After opening this topic tough, I saw that [assigning specific categories to moderators](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-group-review-moderation/116478) shows them flags on those categories only and no messages — which is what I was looking for.

I’ll mark this as solved.
