A user was incorrectly flagged by @system as a sapmmer. These posts were not spam. I’ve cleared the flag, and unsilenced her, but the system has grayed out the user’s post. How do I fix that? She is not a spammer.

From your screenshot, that appears to be a deleted post, rather than a hidden one (see the trash icon in your screenshot). To restore the deleted post, click the cirular arrow, next to the bookmark icon on the post: [Screenshot from 2020-03-12 13-13-59]

Have you checked whether the IP and emails are also blocked? See: [image] I've accidentally "blocked a spammer". Any way to unblock their IP? Support So yeah, this is embarassing. In the process of trying to delete an old account that wouldn’t delete for some reason (that’s an issue for later), I ended up deleting the wrong account. Basically the user had two accounts, wanted the first one deleted, and after changing ownership of their one old post I accidentally went and attempted to “delete spammer” out of desperation, forgetting that I’d changed the ownership and deleted the wrong account.

this seems to have changed since 2018 - I have the same situation (user incorrectly flagged as spam) and I can’t find the “unhide” option under the wrench menu - and admin/flags/active doesn’t take me anywhere. Any clues?

When you click the post’s admin wrench, are you not seeing the following action? [image]

no, this is what i can see when clicking on the wrench menu of a hidden post: [Screen Shot 2020-03-12 at 12.44.12] I am logged in as an admin, and the post was flagged and somehow ignored (i am not 100% sure how this happened) by someone who is a mod.

Something similar started happening on my site as well after a recent upgrade. Existing users were starting to get flagged. Disable the approve_suspect_users admin setting to stop it.

hi, i think this is a different issue. In my case, a user was flagged mistakenly and now i can’t unhide the post.
