I can’t seem to find an option to notify administrators of unanswered posts. More so, how can I advise moderators that a post has gone X hours without a response?

This won’t notify, but it might be a helpful workaround:

@HAWK
This is definitely a solid start however the issue I can see arising more so would be say the following occurred:
Guy A submits a question
Admin A responds to question
Guy A submits a response
Admin A never replies
The intention would be seeing if someone with a tl lower than staff/mods replied last.

Yeah, you’re definitely getting into plugin territory there.

Feature discussion here:
> [@Get notified about unanswered questions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/get-notified-about-unanswered-questions/11732):

> One issue I’m having with my Discourse community is unanswered questions. How can I get notified that a question has been left unanswered for X time? For example can I have a email sent to someone when a new topic has not been responded to in 4 hours? Is there a way to assign users to a category and have them notified when a new topic is posted for a specific category? Another was of asking this question is can a user subscribe to a specific category? Thanks
