I guess.
There are times (and I can’t think of any examples at all right now 
) when I don’t want to flag a topic because the connotation is that the post is “bad”, but I just want moderators to see it.
But it does get the job done (gets mods to see it).
I’d still like to know why the mod group can’t be invited to any topics, and what the words “rate-limited” actually mean, if you don’t mind.
