What notifications result from flagging and mod actions?

[Loki (Wyze Loki)]

I have found and read some topics that explain the flagging system and are very helpful (below):

Understanding post flags in Discourse
Flagging a post for moderator attention
Managing user reputation and flag priorities

However, none of these spell out what notifications the person flagging and the person who wrote the flagged post get in different situations? It seems to vary not only by type of flag (eg. off topic, inappropriate, etc) and by the action that a moderator takes (agree, disagree, ignore).

Are all the possibilities listed somewhere? If not, you you consider making an FAQ on this?

notifications the person flagging

Hello when you flag as off-topic, inappropriate or spam nothing is sent to the flagger. However, if they select something else a moderator is sent a PM and when they take action on the post the flagger is sent one of these messages automatically.

person who wrote the flagged post

However, if a users post is flagged multiple times they get a message from @system like this

@jomaxro

A friendly private message is sent to the author of the post, describing what happened, and letting them know that for {flag type} a considered edit of any kind is enough to un-hide the post.

Users must wait at least 10 minutes prior to editing the post. This ensures the user stops and thinks before editing, to minimize any rash changes.

It’s easiest if you test this yourself using alternate accounts, so you can experience it first hand.

Then delete the accounts when you are done testing.
