I have global admin rights on our instance. I came in this morning to this post in one of my threads: [Selection_742] Note the user’s name: https://evil.com and the username: hackeryajemaa I tried to flag the post as a prelude to deleting it and the user, and got this: [Selection_741] Sorry…

Certainly odd, just confirming though, you are still able to delete the post and the user, right?

I’ve just had a similar example and it works for me: [Untitled] I’m not sure what the difference is with the one you had? :thinking:

I couldn’t delete through that interface. As you see, all the buttons are grey. I went to the user account & deleted from there.

I got a similar one today: [image] The post had already been flagged by the community and hidden, so perhaps that was the difference? The ‘This post was marked as not spam by Akismet’ info is added to all eligible post that have been checked by Akismet (and deemed not spam), so is possibly uncon…

Hmm… looking back at my screenshot, it does seem a bit grey, although when I checked the changes (the pencil icon indicates 1 edit) the only one there was to download the image. Since the flag icon shows up on anything that has been flagged - whether or not that flag was eventually upheld - I’m not…

For the admin view, the content of a hidden post is still visible but greyed out like the username, etc rather than displaying the ‘View ignored content’ click-to-see mask a normal user would see. It doesn’t create an edit revision, but you do get the option in the post wrench to ‘unhide’ it which c…

[image] JammyDodger: you do get the option in the post wrench to ‘unhide’ it which could be a way to double-check? I’ve already clicked to expand the tool set to get to flag. Should I really have to click into the wrench menu? My point here is that this should really be more obvious. And/or …

[image] G Ann Campbell: I’ve already clicked to expand the tool set to get to flag. Should I really have to click into the wrench menu? Ideally, it would be more obvious from the initial visuals. I was only suggesting that as a ‘belt and braces’ double-check. :slight_smile: I think the text …

[image] JammyDodger: Did someone handle it previously and ‘Agree and keep post hidden’? TBH, I’ve never quite understood the review flow & I don’t know how to find / review things that have already been handled. When I see a red flag in my notifications, I go handle it, but otherwise, I tend…

This is brilliant. :slight_smile: Well, okay, perhaps not brilliant - but you’re always great at feedback and this is perfect timing. Maybe ‘opportune’ would be a better word. :slight_smile: You can check the moderation history of a flagged post from it’s post wrench, which will take you to its rec…
