We have created a test user. Started to check various flags. He received the message:

`You can edit your post after 10 minutes, and it will be automatically unhidden.`

But there are no icons for editing. There is only delete.

The general idea is to keep the post hidden for a little bit to give people time to cool off and formulate a sensible edit that is not a knee jerk reaction to the flag hiding.

Thank you very much! Probably not correctly translated. Everything works. Topic can be closed.
