Due to a spamy troll discovered that showing a hidden flagged post doesn’t have an option to re-hide it. You can sorta work around this by flagging the item yourself, but something to re-hide a flagged post that was hidden and then asked to be shown seems like it would be a useful thing in the UI for this stuff (as the reflag it yourself isn’t obvious).
Note: can’t link to the example due to removal.

Hmmm, this doesn’t seem too hard. I’ll try to do it in a bit.
