Hello-me again!

Couple things that can be used to improve flags since on our forums, we have issues with users liking and replying to hidden posts. Here are a few things that can be done to improve the hidden flag:

- Disable the option to Like that post-there are instances where users will like a hidden post.
- Disable the option to Reply to the hidden post-we have had users reply to flagged posts, resulting in that post getting flagged.
- Require Staff to review edits made to a flagged post before the edit goes live
- Give Staff an option when handling the flag wether or not include the “View hidden content” button

Those are a few suggestions from me to make them better 🙂
