When a user’s post is automatically hidden due to multiple flags, they receive a PM from the `site contact username`, default `system`. However, they are not notified of this PM, nor does the normal green circle indicator appear on their avatar.

Steps to reproduce:

1. User A makes a bad post (or topic).
2. Users B, C, and D flag the post.
3. User A’s post is auto-hidden and they are sent a PM.
4. User A does not receive a notification about the PM/hidden post.
