Announcements
- The Theme Review Team is looking for FAQ suggestions.
- If you have any topics or issues you’d like us to cover at this year’s Community Summit, please feel free to share those.
- An exploit against WordPress 4.7.0 and 4.7.1 has been spotted in the wild. Please do your part to ensure that users are on 4.7.2, and that they know the importance of leaving auto-updates enabled, since this would have been pushed out two weeks ago via the auto-update system.

If you feel someone is maybe bad enough to flag, but you don’t think they’ve broken any rules yet warranting a notification, please don’t flag them. In this case, I recommend bookmarking their profile and checking on them yourself once a day or so. They’ll either remain innocent long enough to take them off this sort of “personal probation” or they’ll prove themselves worthy of a flag with a notification.
If you don’t know why a flagged user is flagged, based on their previous interactions in the forums, please unflag them.
