I have encountered this myself. I killed the original administrator and became Lord. I then left and returned to find another administrator in charge. Then when I entered the mead hall I got told endlessly that I had taken back control of the site. The situation may have resolved itself when I stabbed the administrator and forced her to surrender, but the town lore is completely full of the takeover spam.

Save file is here.

I did some experimentation on the save file and attempted to see if retiring would fix it. It turns out that if you attempt to retire your character at the site you control or maybe just any site, the game just crashes, which makes this bug pretty serious.

As an adventurer I declared myself ruler of a location to the Lord and became Lady. I was spammed with so many announcements I thought the game had frozen, but they did eventually stop after I clicked "more" enough times to get to "okay". This repeated several times until I exited the administration building. Then I was able to continue playing and recruit people as hearthpersons.
