I can replicate this.

Editing the title of a hidden OP circumvents the 10 minute edit cool down period.

- TL0 test user creates topic that’s inappropriate
- The OP is flagged, and then hidden by moderator
- TL0 test user can immediately edit title and unhide post (and then edit the post content as well)
