Report abuse, hiding content, and no appeal process

Question

Can someone help me with the proper configuration to accomplish the following? 
 
 enable 1 abuse report to hide the content
 
 Is this just Definitely Abusive Threshold =1?

put the content in a moderation queue only a moderator can see and approve/deny
 
 Is this also set from Definitely Abusive Threshold =1?

not allow the appeal process but let a user know their content is currently being moderated 
 
 I see the appeal time window but no disable option and I don't want the author to get an email, notification, or anything else that implies they can appeal.

not be automatically deleted/expunged, instead it will stay in moderation indefinitely until a moderator takes action on it
 
 Do I just set the Moderate and Expunge Time Windows to be a really high number?

If content is denied by a moderator is it deleted just from the view of other members? As long as the denied content is viewable to admins and moderators in the moderation queue when viewing Moderation Queue > In Process tab > status drop down box set to Denied that will suffice. When I read in the documentation that it is deleted that worried me there isn't anything to reference for historical records. 
 
 Thanks, Matt

 This part is going to require some automation. The abuse workflow does not support (via configuration) making abusive content immediately actionable by moderators -- an appeal is required. 
 You could automate the creation of the appeal (via an Automation or Plugin) and adjusting the notification messages related to content entering the abuse workflow (via Administration > Notifications) to achieve this.

 When identified as definitely abusive, the content is generally hidden from the Community (and only viewable in the moderation queue). When denied, the content is flagged for expungement. When the expungement date arrives, it is deleted. 
 The general workflow is Reported (awaiting definitely abusive status, no change to the UI, shown in 'Possibly Abusive' tab of the Moderation Queue) -> Definitely Abusive (hidden from the UI but moderators are not notified yet, content will show in 'Awaiting Appeal' list in the Moderation Queue) -> Appealed (moderators notified, will show in 'Pending Review' tab of Moderation) -> Denied (Flagged for expungement) -> Expunged (Deleted).
