    This is intended behavior.

    Especially for reports and appeals where we don't want things truncated or cut off. Essentially I'm a firm believer that things should have their context.

    So the emails are mostly only intended to notify of a reply so you check the forums?

    Yes, personally I've found that replies without context tend to worsen most things, as well as people will read the comment make a note and forget, whereas of they actually come to the forum and read it they'll comment because they're already here.

    (on mobile, forgive any awful spelling mistakes)
