      Not there, sorry. Per comments elsewhere, a simple panel we can look at would be nice, so that we don't have to get emails while we're asleep, at work or otherwise unavailable only to find the threads already gone when we get here. My mail provider has been known to consider notification emails as spam ...

      I believe i've fixed the setting now, so it's available to moderators. Can you check again?

      As for the panel, something like that exists, although it doesn't manage flagged content yet. The ability to manage flagged content is on it's way, but unfortunately the plugin we'll use doesn't remove flagged content out of the list once stuff has been deleted. So we end up with a large list of flagged content, where most of it has already been dealt with.

      We'll release that as described, and then hopefully we'll be able to change it so it removes deleted content from the list when it's deleted from the forums. We'll also add a link to this moderator panel when we release this.

        ...a report board. Not personal - shared for every moderator.
        It's easy: like shadow forums where only flagged posts are visible; even with the "reason" on a hover.

        Additionally, moderators would see online stati of other mods - and their latest location on site -- to prevent ineffective elbowing - thus make the whole procedure swifter (for both users and mods): a mod came and sees another mod is in the subforum "Blablabla" - then he (she) goes to another subforum where spam has been also reported. :sherlock:

          Okay, there now.

          Currently Josh, I'm not "in" a subforum. I pull up all the recent posts and look for suspicious titles or usernames.

            I say what?
            There are posts that may hang here for days. I saw one or two.
            I can see them - I'm a linguist by nature, I enter them and report them - nobody sees it, right?

            Andreas, another scenario: moderators see the same board as others - but flagged with red numbered icons - reports on each board; entering them, mods can see same threads - but reported ones are red or like that. Additionally, they can have a sorting tool - like "show reported first" - to easier see everything at once.
            Also, I could suggest autoflagging - providing there's a filtering automaton on site.

              Obviously it is harder for me to spot spam in Russian, Polish, etc. ... but that doesn't make me in a subforum. Though something that is obviously spam I'll remove even in I can't read all the words - I did get lots of practice in the old Community.

                I wasn't talking about knowing languages. However it can be a case, too - for our users in general.

                      So... a question exists: is there any point to users flagging spam as "spam", using the forum reporting tool? And if not, why does the reporting feature exist? Those of us who have faithfully taken time to report spam after spam would really like to know... 😕

                        We, mods, should be receiving e-mail/pop-ups alerts when a post is flagged but it seems that there is a bug.

                          I've never ever received any form of notification (either email or otherwise) for reports of spam. But then again, I would only ever deal with spam when at home or using a desktop computer, Never when mobile or at work (which happens to be a 'non-connected' role), and I don't get paid at work for surfing on my mobile phone.

                                I'd like to also just so I can get rid of spam when I see it instead of waiting.

                                  For the spam-report bug continuing, or for the spam itself? Or both...? :devil:

                                      Usually, I only hover if I've ingested too much pain medication after some medical procedure. However, if you mean hover over the text, I usually don't do that unless the text's been highlighted. Having hovered over the text, I do finally recognize what you meant... so you've answered my questions. Thank you. :cheers:

                                        Setting is there, yes, but I never got "flagged"-notifications on site so far (haven't tried email notifications)

                                          I wonder if the black megic specialists can really help with Flash problems, malware protection and overall customisability.🙂

                                            Call 'em and find out. There's a phone number posted in the Windows forum at least once every day... in fact, it's there right now! 😉
