Receiving notifications when I resolve a flag

Platform(s), such as mobile, website, API, other: website

URLs (aka web addresses) of any pages, if relevant: https://www.inaturalist.org/flags

Description of need: If you comment on a flag and then resolve it (i.e., one of the most common curatorial workflows), you get a rather silly notification letting you know that you resolved the flag.

Feature request details: Don’t notify users when they resolve a flag (just like you don’t get a notification when you put an ID on an observation you’re following).

I think this is unexpected behavior (since as far as I’m aware we don’t receive notifications on any other actions we ourselves have done on the site), so I posted it as a bug report rather than a feature request.

I’ve created an issue for this.

Thanks, in retrospect it seems obvious that it belongs here rather than feature requests.

Thanks, this has bothered me for years.

It would also be nice to only get one notification for a comment that tags you on an observation you follow – instead of one notification for the comment and one for the tag. I can create a separate thread for that issue if desired but they seem pretty similar.

That would be a separate topic, but staff aren’t accepting standalone feature requests related to notifications currently (as they already recognize the system needs to be revamped and have done some planning around it).

OK, this has been fixed.

Thanks, this was always annoying, do you still get notifications when others resolve a flag you commented on?
