Our forum moderators determined that they’d rather have the community invite the ‘moderators’ group to a topic that needs attention as opposed to creating a post, and using @moderators. However, this is the error message that pops-up when I try to invite the moderators group: [image] Initially t…

[image] David_Thompson: I think the main problem I have, being a user, is that the mods removed the option to “mark as other”, and the only options right now are spam, off-topic and inappropriate Perhaps this should be mentioned in the first post? I agree removing that is quite traumatic!

Know what you are talking about. I also tried to invite the group.

Topics do have an “invite” feature. The default Admin → Settings → Trust Level → “default invitee trust level” is Trust Level 1 If you aren’t seeing the feature below a topic, perhaps this Setting is set higher?

Ok, I’ll take it but this kind of attitude [image] codinghorror: I suggest switching away from Discourse to some other software isn’t at all business-like. :wink: [image] jomaxro: Flag does not equal bad. I think the main problem I have, being a user, is that the mods removed the op…

[image] David_Thompson: the mods removed the option to “mark as other” That is indeed a problem. Did the mods provide a reason for removing the “something else” option? If not, I’d suggest making a topic in #meta (or Contribute > Site feedback , depending on the name) and asking. Give detai…
