It was not on my profile.
I did not have permission to view the page.
Recieved that email as well. It appears the "report post" feature is a bit messed up--it should only send an email to moderators.
Perhaps it sends to all the friends that the user has? (The user that has had a post reported on their page)
Ah crap.
I saw a "bad" visitor comment on someone's user profile so I reported it.
Oops... :embarassed:
*edit*
Could you please take my email address out of the post?
Done, sorry.
You didnt do anything wrong, Im just trying to find out why it sent it.
thank you. :bow:
Even though my email got shot out to a hundred people, I didn't want it to be seen by thousands of people. :laugh4:
Awww we all know the positive effects of SPAM :grin:

Looks like there was another report afterwards of the same post :tongue2:
Would it be possible to change the alert to PM rather than email though? Usually tend to check PM much more often than email.

You can PM the link to the userpage?
This explains why so many people received the PM:

Why are they 'moderators' there? Friends, social group?
Friends probably.
Not part of any social group myself.
EF tried to befriend everyone on the board as part of a contest. One of the people he tried to befriend seemed not to appreciate it and wrote something nasty on EF's visitor profile. I reported it. It must have been sent to every "friend" that EF had. For some reason, the board saw us all as moderators.
What's funny is that I never received that PM even though I am on EF's friend list.
*edit*
Is everyone on Tosa's list a mod/am/admin on the .org? That could explain why they all got emails.
There's a lot more members than staff on that list :tongue2:
What about people who are moderators on mod boards? I see Warluster up there and he is a mod mod.Quote:

But the rest indeed can all be found on the forum leader list :shocked:
That explains why I didn't get a PM alerting me to my report.
I guess the board was set up to have every mod police the visitor profiles as a default. I must have been the first person to use the report feature.
*edit*
So, the PM wasn't sent to everyone on EF's friend list. It was sent to every member of the .org's mod team.
True, most if not all of them are either staff or moderators on hosted boards.
Pretty much, with that one exception.
There are people that are still green that aren't on the current forum leader list. Like Econ. Maybe fabolous is one of those people too.Quote:

Odd. A glitch in the system?
Bizarrely, EF 'friended' me as well, but I'm not on that list and I didn't get a PM or email.
EF friended me too. I haven't responded and wasn't planning to, but this seems strange.
EF friended just about everyone. But this is a seperate matter. The reporting function seems wonky on people's visitor pages.
he he....yeah if it was sent to all my friends then 98 people would be recieving e-mails :laugh4:
Thanks PK for reporting the message anyway.
I'm holding you personally responsible for all the spam I will receive because of my "good deed".Quote:
