It does seem like this has cropped up a few times. I think there’s this one too which also makes a point about the re-notifying of people who were @mentioned in the original:

> [@Yikes. Hundreds of PMs sent after category change](https://meta.discourse.org/t/yikes-hundreds-of-pms-sent-after-category-change/240515):
>
> So, we’re doing some house cleaning on the forum, and I just moved a few hundred posts into a new category. It was going well until … Dozens of users have now reported getting re-sent private messages dating all the way back to 2015. And because I was the one who initiated the change, it looks like the personal message was sent from my username. Should we have been aware of this?

Let me see if I can tidy these up. 👍

(I opted for a ‘close and redirect’ as a merge seemed like it could get messy)
