On the subject of whether or not we should show that content has been
flagged as objectionable:

The way it's done in most online communities, is that when you flag
content as objectionable, it does *not* hide it from other users, until
an admin reviews your objection and agrees with it. As Ruslan said, this
is to avoid abuse of the flag feature.

The main exception to this behavior is for sites that use a "karma"
system, like Slashdot, where users can vote each comment up or down, and
they can set a threshold to hide comments that fall below a certain
karma level. But I think that falls outside the scope of this issue.
