A spambot created several communities. When you report the posts therein, the moderator is obviously a recipient. And the mods themselves are in fact the abuser in this case. Does the admin see the report?
The “create report” option should list the mods and admins with pre-checked tickboxes.
I appreciate the info. So bug confirmed.
Either all subjects of abuse reports should see the report, or none of them. No good reason mods should have that privilege exclusively.
Also no good reason users should be unable to narrow the recipient list. It should be tick boxes so users don’t have to hunt around for who to contact, which deters spam reporting.
