Is there is a way to customize the feature that allows content hidden by flags to be viewed?

For example, in our forum, I’d like to prevent content that has been hidden by flags from being viewed. We would assume that the post is inappropriate and therefore should not be accessible to users. This content could be made viewable after it is reviewed by a moderator or admin. We have users of many ages, and making sure that harmful content is not visible is super important.
