I’m moderator on a forum and I noticed that if a user reports a post as offtopic, it regularly comes in as a spam report. I also noticed that I reported something as offtopic myself, this came in as spam report. Can someone check what’s going wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome @Albertos 🙂
I’ve just tried this on my test site as well as on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org), and both of the flags I cast as off-topic showed up in the review queue as off-topic.
Are there any special circumstances with the ones you’re seeing that I could try and replicate?

Hi @JammyDodger, thanks for reply! Unfortunately, to prevent I get a lot of flags on my profile, I can’t find out myself if it happens randomly or if something special is done. 🙃

Hi @JammyDodger! Lucky for us, we don’t get a lot of flagged posts on the forum. I haven’t seen it happen again until now. If it happens again, I’ll let you know. Thanks!

No worries. It’s a nice situation to be in. 🙂
I’ll slide this over to #Support as we haven’t got any repro steps for it yet. Though if it happens again let us know and we can always move it back again. 🙂 👍
