Some mistake with the "report" system? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Aurora40 · 09-12-2009

I noticed I have two emails from the registry forum software, saying someone has reported posts.

I don't doubt the mail is valid or the posts were spammy. What I don't get is why they were emailed to me? I'm not an admin or a moderator. Is something wonky going on with the system? Or did someone accidentally change the status of my account?

The mail looks like this:

Quote:

XYZ has reported this post:

This is part of this thread:
<spammy thread title> @

This is the reason that the user gave:
spammer

This message has been sent to all moderators of this forum, or all administrators if there are no moderators.

Please respond to this post as applicable.

I got a couple of those emailed to me also. Never did find out what the deal was.

These are the email notices all moderators and admin receive when a post is reported. For some reason the notifications are going out to many other forum members as well. It is a glitch in the system we are trying to figure out, so just disregard any other notices you may receive of this nature.

I thought you had to know somebody to become a moderator/admin.
