This question already has an answer here:

I raised a duplicate flag on a question that to me was a clear duplicate of another question a few days ago, and in the intervening time that flag has aged away. I had wanted to go back and re-raise the flag, because I still feel that it's a duplicate and our very busy moderators just had not had the time to look at it, but when I try to do that I'm told "You have already raised a recommended closure flag".

I'm curious why it is that when a flag ages away (which I had thought meant that no moderator had been able to look at it) the original raiser can't re-raise it. If they really did care, and no moderator has disagreed with them, why prevent that?
