Is it possible that I could set up notifications for flagged posts? So every time someone flags a post you can receive an email so you can respond quicker. ---

There is a setting called “notify about flags after”: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/5/c58159b5b49b9827b41515c5810470cd12a42dc8.png) You could set this to 1 hour. ---

Is that in preferences? I don’t see it. ---

In “Settings” under “Other” - but you can use Settings Filter/Search to find it. ---

No, you have screen shot “User Preferences”. The setting you want is a Site Setting - you will need to be an Administrator to change it. Find it under `/admin/site_settings/category/uncategorized` ---

Is there anyway I can immediately receive notifications? Not just after an hour. ---

Not that I know of, perhaps someone else will know. But do keep in mind that the default settings will mean that: - if 3 users flag a post it will be hidden. - if 3 different users flag a new user, that new user will be blocked from posting - if 5 users flag to close a topic - it will be. * * * I doubt it will work and it might break - but you could try a number like `0.5` as the value for 30 minutes. ---

@Carson1 did you ever ask Philippe to make this change? ---
