I’m not 100% sure but I think there might be a bug with the CFP system where if the submitter of the proposal has CFP review access the messages are immediately marked as read. I think this may have happened to myself and a couple of members of the youth team. I haven’t confirmed this though.
I've not had chance to validate this, filing a ticket so we don't forget.
