Sometimes, in large forums, you can have many TL4s but few moderators.
The “Flag” feature is always dependent on the moderator, is there any other way for TL4, or other groups, to also be notified about posts? Now they can also handle part of the business.
There will be an extra button below the post as follows
Clicking it will pop up the private message template \[1\]

Maybe this is a translation issue, but in the English version of Discourse moderators are part of the _staff_ group. So _Contact Staff Button_ seems a bit of a misleading name for this component as the way I understand it, it’s specifically made so that you don’t need to contact _staff_? But rather can choose an alternative group to send reports to. How about a title like _Report content to group_?

My mistake. Thank you so much for your suggestion! ! 😃

Hi Linca,
I might suggest looking at your Category settings. The team quite awhile ago added an option of “Category Moderators” With this option you can have a group enabled to moderate a category.
Here is topic from the team on improvements.
> [@Category Moderator Improvements](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-moderator-improvements/158628):

> We recently added lots of long awaited improvements to our [Category specific Moderators feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-group-review-moderation/116478/). As of today, they are now able to: Mark topics as solved Edit posts Close topics Archive topics Move posts from a topic Pin/unpin topics Edit category descriptions Add staff notices for any topics under the categories they have moderator status. Category Moderators now get a shield on posts under their categories, and we also added a special CSS class their posts, so you …
Your theme component though could be modified to have other cool uses. Like adding a Support link to a category for example to send a Tailored message for a product support.
This could be used to populate details a support staff may need from a user.
I am going to take a closer look on my test site. But if you add an option to restrict button to a specific category this could be quite cool.

Another cool idea would be able to have this be able to send Category Moderators a pm for their Category they Mod.
Just a thought instead of adding an extra button . Wonder if this could be added to flag menu list as an option?

I was thinking of an interesting feature.
To have an option to restrict to specific category/categories. This could be handy for forums with knowledge bases for users to submit corrections to a team that maintains guides.

This reminds me of [Discourse suggested edits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-suggested-edits/398691/1)

Yeah that one could likely work as well. But just waiting for the plugin to be more complete.
The Report to Group being a TC does make it easier to install for more sites. Not that installing a plugin is easy enough on my self hosted site.
Which is why I suggested an option to be able to restrict to specific category/categories.
