Users arbitrarily notified after tags added

Sounds like this is working as intended…

  1. Your moderator is watching the category.
  2. This means that she is automatically watching every new topic in that category.
  3. Notifications are generated for every action in a watched topic, including edits… Such as editing tags.

This moderator probably also has “activity emails” (second option under preferences>emails) set to “always.” There has been some discussion on improving the copy for that setting, as it does include activity from watched topics. See
