It would be very helpful if all the admins on the forum got an email when someone flags a post. Correct me if I’m wrong here - but I don’t think the software does this right now.

There is indeed an email if flags go unhandled for I believe 48 hours.

It would be very helpful if we could set that to immediate notification - so that we can quickly address any problematic posts and delete or manage them.

Sure can we make this a variable in the site settings @neil?

Ah I should have checked (sorry, was on mobile or some other holiday thing).

The setting already exists, it is `notify about flags after` and it is currently 48 (hours). Change it to taste.
