The persistence of posts hidden by flags are a bane to our community

But I’m not very good at CSS, will this have any unintended consequences that haven’t occurred to me?

body:not(.staff) {
    .post-hidden  {
        display: none !important;
    }
}

Turns out this does create some side effects:

• When the most recent post in a topic is hidden and a user clicks on the most recent post indicator in the topics list it will try to go to the hidden post but then “bounce” randomly way back higher in the thread.
• The owner of the hidden post won’t have a chance to edit it because the controls for the post are also hidden.

So this appears to be a better solution:

body:not(.staff) {
    .post-hidden a.expand-hidden  {
        display: none;
    }
}
