Mod Help - Helping Moderators

In the microblog, I had gotten a couple on topic, but against the rules posts. When asking the poster to fix what was against the rules, I found out they hadn't posted in the magazine at all.

I assume this is what should have happened if I had added anything in tags under the magazine panel. Considering one of the rules of the magazine is "no self-promotion", I decided it would be too much hassle to drag in content from the fediverse like that and left it blank. So this shouldn't have happened, I think.

Can anyone help me figure out how this came to pass?
