Weird Alert - Does ST Send Automatic Alerts?

I got this really weird alert for a comment I made on a studio that I manage earlier today:



I don't see anything wrong with the comment, and it's certainly not spam. I only posted that comment once. The only explanation I can see for this is that a ST member clicked the wrong thing by accident, an ST member has gone rouge, or this was sent automatically. The last two don't seem plausible, and if the ST had an automatic alert system, how would it know what category to send it as?

I think it’s because ‘password’ was mentioned several times.

Do you think it's automated, then?

also, if so, why wasn't it flagged as sharing a password or personal info?

I responded on my profile, but I'll respond here as well.

I'm willing to believe it's a mistake made by the moderator; it's happened before. You could use the Contact Us link at the bottom of every webpage to confirm that with a Scratch Team member, or if you have any other questions about moderator actions. Here is the link to it, too: https://scratch.mit.edu/contact-us/

I don't know if the Scratch Team uses automated alerts, but I suspect they do not. Mistakes happen precisely because Scratch Team members are human.
