Am I going to be receiving emails from a moderator as a follow up for a report I made?
I have reported more than 3500 posts but I have not received any message from moderators before regarding the reported post or posts.
Does this mean the moderators do not use the emails for anything? How then is the issue of report abuse handled? Because anyone can decide to report a post without any good reason. No feedback from the moderators might not let people know when they are reporting for the wrong reasons. I don't know if I'm wrong.

According to this staff, it was been removed in January 2018, but the administrators haven't adjust the descriptions.
2018 is quite long time for changes like this to be effected to avoid misleading members

I think this is the main reason of revealing emails so that only valid forum users will be reporting. Without email collection, there could be frivolous reports or even a bot attack on the reporting system in order to mare it.
This makes some sense.
