When a member reports a post and tags/mentions a staff member (who has the XF report system access) in the initial typed up report, why aren't they alerted like how they'd usually be alerted if someone tags them in a message? If another staff member replies to the report and tags another staff member, they'll get the alert, but the initial report from a civilian user who tags a staff member doesn't alert the staff member.
XF 2.2 Why aren't staff alerted on initial report of being tagged/mentioned?
- Thread starter 420
- Start date
Maybe on small boards with a small staff it's not that much of an issue, however on big boards with a large staff and a hundred reports a day, it makes a world of difference.
Our mods and admins find the process very tiresome and tedious having to constantly go back to subscribe a report that they themselves made.
Mods and admins are constantly left out of the mix in the reports they created, unless they are tagged.
Doesn't it make much more logical sense to remove the extra fifty steps every single day and simply auto subscribe mods and admins to reports they make themselves?

I hear you, loud and clear.
However if you are not going to entertain the suggestion, can you at least please explain the logic behind doing it this way?
Was it just easier for your coders or is there a specific perspective you can share with us?

We have hundreds of thousands of users and millions of threads. The disclaimer says it could change permissions, but leaves it wide open to anything. Meaning, we could have members all of a sudden with access to our private back rooms, editing/deleting threads, etc. We are not a hobby forum, it's not something we can risk.

If you have hundreds of thousands of users and millions of threads, I am pretty sure you should have a sandbox for such things. After all, you are not a hobby forum...
Xon has 2 boards with hundreds of thousands of users as well, and is probably the best non-XF coder here. But hey, all good.
Thank you for your support, however Xon's achievements have nothing to do with our security and protocols.
If @Xon can be a little more specific on these permission risks, this might be a possible candidate for consideration.
The way the disclaimer vaguely reads, it leaves too much to chance.
He already tagged/subscribed me and replied to my concerns there.
Unfortunately, he confused the heck out of me and made things even more complicated to understand. Just seems like way too many things that could go wrong, especially with updates and other conflicting add ons.
We are working with another developer now who has created something much more simple. Currently testing his add on and will let you all know once it's dialed in and ready for the public.
