View submission: Another Mod Queue 2024 update

Love this idea. We've modded with teams that have fairly in depth warning systems in place. Some have even built scripts to handle things like this.

We've explored something we call "ban tracks" that would let mods have a native way to track violations and progression towards bans for specific reasons. It makes sense that user notes are the best existing way to track that.

So that we can explore a shorter term way to help with this, what type of user note do you use to track a violation?

We do everything manually although I automate some of the manual comments/highlight comment etc through tools.

So since it's all manual & to save on effort & energy we use the (reddit) user notes to record the rule violation. As in (rule number) 3. And the user notes already contains a link to the user comment in which a mod has already replied & warned the user so the rest is recorded there.

​

The half manual warning system can also be implemented in Reddit but that's more complicated.

As in

• a mod would need a tool/way to flag a user's comment/report queue with the rule violation number,
• which then an automated system would issue an automatic warning (mod comment reply to the user) * Although the system can prompt the mod with the automatically filled mod comment warning that it's about to post (to add or change text) * Each rule would have a warning text which will be used here (like each rule has a reporting reason for it)
• I'm not sure of the rest of the (UI?) design. Since it's manual a display of some sort of the number of warnings (or a link to view additional details) might be sufficient for a mod to change his mind from a warning to a ban

The only easy mod tool communities have is a ban. My hope is that communities will have another easy tool besides a ban for them to use (and that I'll be unbanned from some of them but that's a different story).
