yea posts hidden by flags are viewable only by staff now, basically no different than deleted posts. but should still be reviewed and processed for accurate flag stats. i’ve had to tell my mods that ignoring a flag instead of accepting it skews the actual user flag stats.

@N3DSDude - there is some info on flag scoring and related trust level settings [here in the moderator guide](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-moderation-guide/63116#flag-scoring-15)
