@tobiaseigen I guess I am getting you wrong. To me, the new title you chose reads like admins with a negative user ID won’t receive notifications about flags.

But the issue in this topic is that no one can see flags on posts written by a user with a negative ID. So the admin who started the forum (usually ID=1) won’t see when a user flags a post written by system, discobot, or any AI bot. For example, when someone flags [Adding information about the flag review process](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-information-about-the-flag-review-process/352008), you won’t see that in the review queue, but only if you use [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) or because you might find a related message in the moderator inbox. But it’s because of the author of the post (system has a negative ID), not because of the user ID of the admin.

Is that what you meant with “Admins with userid -1 are not notified about flags”?
