Summary0003086: Notifications for members when other people edit or delete their content
DescriptionHave a notification where users can be notified when other people (eg. staff) modify or remove their content. Perhaps also allow for the "reason" field that staff type in to appear in these notifications sent to users.

This would alleviate a common problem with website moderation where staff may do small content edits and not alerting the user right away of said edit (from moderation experience, it's an unfortunate common fallacy where if a staff member makes what seems to be an "unimportant edit or deletion", they won't notify the user of the edit because they feel it's not significant enough). When this happens, users get confused and sometimes angry, feeling like staff are abusing their powers. Some forum systems actually notify the users immediately when staff delete stuff, edit stuff, or move stuff of theirs.

I should probably add on that I noticed Composr CMS sometimes does, but only for forum topics and only if the user is subscribed to it. It doesn't do it for posts or other content types.

I think the only notifications upon edit is if something has been validated.

I have a user who (for some reason I'll never understand XD) literally subscribed to every single solitary notification for the forums. He does receive topic moved notifications... not sure about deleted notifications.
