"Automatically hide posts which reach" always defaults to 2

Question

In Admin >Spam >Automatically hide posts which reach: 5 flags I tried to set 1, however, it always sets 2 as default? 

In qa-page-admin-default.php I changed line 239 to:

        'flagging_hide_after' => 1,
 

@gidgreen: Why default 2? And does changing the minimum to 1 has any consequences to q2a software?

Comments

alright I see now why: if 'flagging_hide_after' is 1 the "normal user" gets the power of not only reporting a post as spam but also to hide the question....
