I was wondering if I was Mod because whenever a new post would be created I would usually get a alert saying (Player) has created a new thread in (Section) so may anyone tell me what happened or if this is a update.
No, I don't think so. Because they would have about 100+ Alerts. Most of them will be pointless you can say for em.
But usually I get that saying someone created a new thread in the Mod application section and in suggestions.
If you were a Mod, you'd have the Mod status instead of 'Active Member' or 'Member'. So no. Probably just an alert as you might have edited something in your alert settings.
As mentioned, you must have clicked on the button to watch the entire section. When this happens, it'll alert you any time a player creates a thread under that specific section. Sorry if you got your hopes up ):
Thread seems to be resolved- locking. Please contact a member of the staff if you disagree with this action.
