View submission: Moderation basics (modqueues and more)
I suppose the best part of being a trailblazer is leaving behind maps for others to follow.
Yeah, one of the subs I'm mod in has a few automod routines that send a message to modmail. It seems a little bit redundant, though it does let you note *which* automod rule was the one triggered, but also still not helpful if you don't know there's a new modmail waiting.
And you are correct, the subreddit size, number of active mods, and average rate of reports all play a role in this. At some point you can't be looking at any of your screens, and you hope the other mods are looking at theirs instead, or at the very least that things aren't usually such a crisis that a modqueue item can't sit for a few hours before somebody gets to it. Certainly subs like r/askreddit are an entirety different paradigm in terms of activity. I think the vast majority of subs aren't very large or unwieldy though.
Well, if there are so many reports that an RSS reader is active constantly, then you really don't need it to tell you there's something new in the modqueue, because there's *always* something new in the modqueue.
I know that r/toolbox, modsoup for Android, and others also help with this kind of thing, though I tend to seek out simple solutions to specific issues that don't involve big installations or features I don't intend to use.
There's nothing here!
