So this started happening a few days ago, there’s not really any way to show it but I’ll say what happens: I sometimes get 2 or more alerts when only one thing happened. Like when this thread was posted, I got an alert at 5:54. Then just a few minutes ago (7:05 or something), I got another alert for the same thing. It’s not a huge bug and it’s hard to find evidence for it, but it happens a lot to me so maybe some new update on the forums is causing it to overlap maybe?
This happens when you recieve an alert for a post that has since then been deleted. In this case you recieved an alert from a thread post in the general discussion forum by a spambot at around 7 PM EST, which was deleted, so you recieved an alert but it didn't say where it came from.
There was, yes. We've been having quite a few spambots lately, hence why you're getting quite a few of these alerts from deleted threads posted in the general section.
