Concerning posts and topics
Posts and topics can be moderated by three different users roles.

The following sections mention "Posts", but everything also applies to Topics.

It is not possible to carry out these actions when a topic has been "Marked as resolved". You have to reopen it first.

Hide
Hiding a post can be done by any user.

A hidden post is replaced by a warning message. You can read the hidden post by clicking on the history link on the warning message. You will then access to the history page, where the message is striketroughed.

Anyone can unhide a post on the history page. If a post is unhidden, it becomes visible by anyone.

Delete
Deleting a post is a sysop privilege. When it is done, post is deleted. Sysops can restore the post on the History page.

Action link is only visible to sysops.

Suppress
Suppressing a post is an oversight privilege. When it is done, post is oversighted. Oversighters can restore the post on the History page.

Action link is only visible to oversights.

Rename
Renaming a Topic will only change the Topic title. It will not move the page from the Board.

Rename
Renaming a Board is possible for users who have the "Create Flow boards in any location" rights.

Delete and restore
Deleting a Board is a sysop privilege. When you delete a Board, all Topics linked to this Board are inaccessible to all users, except sysops (like any deleted page). When you restore a Board, all Topics are visible again.

Protect
Like every pages on a wiki, it is possible to semi-protect or protect a Flow Board. If you block a user without selecting the "" option, that user will still be able to create new Topics on its personal talk page.
