So a few days back an admin reported he was blocked out of viewing a previously unknown channel called 'special'. I noted that the url & such he drew attention to was a flagged report rather than an actual post in a forum by any member.
I had a look around in the ACP and found under channel permissions that the special channel covered a variety of, presumably, hidden contents ranging from reported posts to visitor messages & suchlike. I presumed this is the reason he couldn't access the 'thread' as it was classed as special permissions (being as it was directed to our 'flagged/reported' area under the profile page.
Anyway, I've just realised - he too has now reported & unapproved a post. This unapproved/reported post has shown up in the recent topics module as if it's a perfectly normal thread for everyone to read. I gather non-admins/non-moderators won't see it - but I'm lost as to why it would show up in a recent posts module when it's technically not a thread and certainly not accessible via traditional means.
