> Well spotted @Lilly

wasn’t hard to “spot” nor did i go looking. i flagged a post and they were already handling it and i surprisingly received one of the automated messages, but from a member who i didn’t know was a moderator. i have no questions other than why would you not announce this initiative to inform the community first? i mean, you certainly don’t have to announce anything, but the transparency would be appreciated. 🤷🏻‍♀️
