MODERATORS
So, each report does that automatically? That seems like often it would be overkill, but good in other cases.
You'd want all of them. The community moderators receiving the report is obvious. The instance admins get notified because all content that goes through their server is copied and stored on them.
Also I heard that if mods take care of the report before their admins see it, the report doesn't go through anymore, to cut down on the amount they have to deal with? Not sure on how that works.
It seems like there could be a flag for whether instance admins get notified or not. If the complaint is something like "this user didn't use a spoiler tag for the most recent episode when the community rules say you should", that would be something that should only involve moderators. OTOH, if it's "this user is evading a ban so they can post revenge porn", then maybe you want the instance admins for the relevant community involved. But, IMO, the local admins (local to the user making the report) should probably only be involved if the remote admins (the ones hosting the community) are not doing their job.
