Description

I understand that processing flagged challenge takes time (though not really sure how such processing works exactly, see https://github.com/maproulette/challenge-reports/issues/7 from Feb 26)

But maybe hiding flagged challenges from list shown to users on MR homepage would make sense? To reduce exposure of users to problematic ones?

(there is obviously risk of someone maliciously flagging stuff - but if someone is vandal then detecting them and blocking on such easy to revert vandalism would be actually benefit, and it is not feasible to flag so many tasks that MR will run out of things to display)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how the homepage loads and displays challenges, then determine how flagged challenges and report-processing state are represented; done would require an agreed behavior for hiding or showing unprocessed reports and validation that the homepage follows it.
