I saw an annoying spam and I wanted to use the report function and I was told that my email address will be revealed to the moderator when I report a spam. I was temporarily deterred. Am I going to be receiving emails from a moderator as a follow up for a report I made?
I think the report system should be simple and if possible automated in order not to discourage anyone from reporting obvious spams. What's the essence of revealing my email?
I think I received such a warning prompt last year too which scared me, but I am not sure anymore (this brain is full of many thoughts I think the report system should be simple and if possible automated in order not to discourage anyone from reporting obvious spams. What's the essence of revealing my email?
), if at all, maybe once because I majorly report topics to be moved to the right section rather than reporting those who might be considered spamming, if a post is not good in look, I move to the next, no time to waste.Nevertheless, your concern is genuine and if the forum could support true privacy, I don't think such a thing should happen. If at all it would happen, maybe the admin alone should know the email and not the moderators, after all, we opened the forum with our email address and whether we like it or not, they already know it. However, no one's email has been revealed or spammed to date which is a layer of trust as far as I am concerned.
