View submission: Another Mod Queue 2024 update

View parent comment

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).

Warning mechanisms and "timeouts" are something we've thought about! Curious if you think those would be effective, and how you'd like to see them work.
