We’ve determined that the cause of the inability for users to view certain hidden posts was due to Discourse changing the default forum configuration settings in a recent update.
However, there appears to be an override configuration which will re-enable users ability to view hidden posts. Previously this was set to trust level 4. We have reduced it to trust level 1 as of today. The majority of users have Trust Level 1 or higher. Therefore they should be able to unhide flagged posts.
We will continue to monitor the situation and if this becomes a problem, we of course will iterate and may revert this change. Please remember that the primary goal is to maintain the integrity and usefulness of our forum. Your cooperation and understanding are vital in making this forum a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
As always, we remain open to your feedback and suggestions. If you have any ideas on how we can further improve our anti-spam efforts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Let’s work together to keep our community vibrant, informative, and spam-free!
