FWIW, I had this happen on my site this week, and for a longtime email-only user (a trusted staff colleague of mine, in fact) who was surprised and a bit annoyed to get the automated message below from me in response to a post. I wrote in [another topic about email only users needing an automatic pathway to full citizenship](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-an-automatic-pathway-to-tl1-and-tl2-for-email-only-users/43676). In the case of this automated email, it says “multiple community members flagged this post before it was hidden” which in this case I know is not true. She was just still a TL0 new user (because she rarely logs in) and hit a linking threshold that triggered the automatic flagging. So some more granularity in the _reason_ given for the flagging would be helpful. Both for the user trying to post and for moderators trying to help users caught in this predicament. I am not sure at all how best to do this (maybe templates with a dedicated spot to insert the reason?) and it’s not been a big issue yet on my site - we very rarely get flagged posts. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/e/0eaf4d057c92b2b4c1f6f257d6e7e6f669f90db3.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/display-reason-for-automatic-blocks-by-system/43702)._
