why cant we 'unflag' a message that was flagged as abuse/offensive?

while scrolling through a forum on my tablet, i must have accidently chosen to linger a tad bit too long near the bottom of a post. i saw the abuse link change color and then there was no going back.  ugh! so, to help elliminate moderator work on mistakes like this, can there be way for a user to unflag a message that they flagged?

Does this only happen on your tablet or does it also happen when you do the same thing from a PC or Mac?

What tablet where you using?

What browser were you using on the tablet?

Tablet: Toshiba Excite LE, android OS, running native browser.

But, just flagged your response as offensive and get the same message (running on PC, Windows 7 OS, explorer browser).

Message is:

  • Sorry, Once a post is flagged for abuse it cannot be unflagged!
  •  

 

Seems intentional.

Its intentional. 

the reason is becaus im sent a message letting me know that abuse has happened with a link to the post.  This stops people from spamming admins over and over again.  Normally if its a mistake we're going to know anyway since we can just read the post.   No worries.
