I really think mods should get a notification when the user edits their post so they can view and make sure it’s ok. I will flag a post + hide a post and think it’s done with, but then maybe I come back later and see all the user has done is add one of these to their post:

The sad reality is that so few posts get flagged to threshold, and then edited, that we have precious little signal to work with.
