If a comment or post gets reported, I can think of a number of different groups who might see that report:

  • The moderators of the community in which it was posted.
  • The admins of the instance hosting the community (call it instance X).
  • The admins of the reporter’s instance (call it Y).
  • The admins of the poster’s instance (call it Z).

Do all of these see the report? Only some subset? Some other group I’m not thinking of?

And if it is all/multiple of these, how does the actioning work? If the report’s admin removes a post, does that mean nobody from instance Y can see it, but everyone else still can, or does it remove it more widely? Same for Z’s admins and Z users. If X admins remove it, I presume that means nobody at all will see it, is this correct? And would a mod approving it means that admins of various instances will then not see the report, or does it stay in their queue separately?

    Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification! That’s much less of a problem then. (Though still not ideal, since an instance admin might approve something for not violating instance rules, while it does violate specific community rules.)
