Seems to be happening to me alot lately. Do moderaters do it unannounced, or does a Doper have to request clarification?

Both ways. Sometimes if we see something and it’s no biggie, we’ll just fix it, esp. if the thread just started.

If you do need a fix, use the report this post button (triangle with !) and specify what the fix is, and someone will take care of it.
